Do NOT HIRE

Gary Israel was not concerned about my case, only the money involved. He rushed through everything and I did not feel he was being an advocate for me and my child. He wanted me to just settle and did not take my concerns into account. I felt like I was just another money maker for him, which is why h...e was fired and I found someone who was more interested in helping than just going through the motions to get paid. I would never recommend him to anyone.

Unfortunately, as sometimes happens, clients are not always forthcoming with all the pertinent information needed for a hearing. In this particular case, the client misinformed me of the other party's participation in the child's life. When the opposing party testified, there was no way to stop him. We did what could be done by way of impeachment and this client was able to testify her side. She has no cause to be upset at me doing my job, as I used all available information to counter the testimony of her ex. Simply stated, after she testified, the judge believed her ex and did not believe her about her ex's participation in the child's life.

Excellent attorney, highly recommend

I am a mother of four fighting an uphill battle to be a part of my children’s lives. Two years ago, I hired Mr. Israel to handle my case. With Mr. Israel’s knowledge of Florida Law and his trial experience, Mr. Israel has given me peace of mind navigating through a high conflict custody battle. ...Mr. Israel has been very quick to respond to any question I’ve had throughout this process. He was completely honest with me and saved me a lot of money not spending time on issues that arise but have no legal relevance to the outcome of my case. Mr. Israel is attentive, out spoken, and overall an excellent lawyer. If you are looking for an amazingly knowledgeable and competent attorney, I would highly recommend Mr. Israel.

Fastest Resolution, Considerate & Detailed Divorce Expert, Confident Winning Attitude Well Worth My Investment!

It is my pleasure to recommend Gary S Israel to anyone going through a Divorce or Child Support litigation... Because of Gary's knowledge and experience he brought beneficial issues to my attention that I didn't even know about (he didn't miss a thing)... Regarding my initial meeting with Gary, befor...e leaving his office he had my entire case and strategy mapped out and initiated... Gary's very fast, my entire divorce (start to finish 12-weeks) including critical child custody matters never went any further than the mediation... We won everything we wanted and more! Regarding the return on my investment in Gary's very reasonable retainer, considering the value and savings provided to me (after my divorce final judgment) I know it will be quick and worth every cent... Gary is very confident and provided me piece of mind and a comfort level that helped carry me through what I consider a very unfortunate, unwelcome circumstance!

"I endorse Gary Israel and refer clients to him because I got to observe him after working at the same firm with him about a year before I opened my own firm. He's no-nonsense, aggressive, and gets the job done. He's experienced and knows what he's doing. He's also a good person and cares about his clients. I will continue to refer divorce matters to him."
