Gary S Israel

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.

This testimony was meant to be delivered years ago, my Final Judgment and Dissolution of Marriage was in 2012. Before retaining Mr. Israel, I consulted with several other attorneys but was not convinced with any of them (although they were all nice, knowledgeable and professional). Consulting bac...k with the Orange County Bar Association, I was then given a couple more referrals including Mr. Gary Israel. During my free consultation with Mr. Israel, "it was sound and clear" he was the right attorney to represent me. I also have to testify part of this direction to Mr. Israel was a Divine Intervention. (It truly was God and the voice of God which led me to him, thus I am writing this today to pay forward these blessings to which I have received) Bottom line: The results of my case and hearings were very fair and reasonable compared with my expectations. Most of all, Mr. Israel was always there for me throughout the process!! If I ever had an urgent question or matter at hand, Mr. Israel would "always" answer my call or call me back within just minutes. ** Mr. Israel was always professional, direct and pro-active when dealing with me, the Courts and Opposing Counsel. He often controlled the direction, emotions and outcome of the many hearings and proceedings in which we were involved. After the Final Judgment and Dissolution, I found myself in the need to follow-up and consult with Mr. Israel throughout the next couple years regarding questions and scenarios I had and was dealing with. Mr. Israel and/or his pleasant staff would always take my calls and answer any questions I had. ** Most of all, a couple years later I needed more legal and follow-up advice from Mr. Israel. I actually spoke with Mr. Israel, he was offering "another free" consultation meeting with him at his office. In addition, at the same time, he provided me with the "technical" legal advice I needed to handle my situation. Consequently, I utilized the advice Mr. Israel gave me and I never needed to follow-up with him any more. * I have never received any other invoices or billing from Mr. Israel since our case was first resolved. Recently, I called Mr. Israel's office regarding another family matter in which a family member is involved. One minute after I left the message at his office, I got a call back from Mr. Israel. * I explained to him the scenario with my family member, he gave me the legal advice I needed "at the moment" and advised us to keep in touch with him on updates so he can provide and properly represent us in this matter moving forward. * Thank you Mr. Israel for all you have done and may God continue to bless you, your family and your practice & Firm. (anyone wishing to verify the credibility of this information and testimony may contact Mr. Israel and i will give him permission to speak to me about)

My wife and I were both very pleased with the professionalism of Gary, and the empathy he showed during our first meeting has continued through the whole process. He is always quick to respond to any question by phone, email or in person. He spends the time to explain things very clearly. He was... able to step in during a bad situation and help us get our quality of life back. We are both very happy with having Gary Israel as our lawyer. He is very knowledgeable with Florida law and we would definitely utilize Gary again.

As a doctor practicing in a highly litigious society, I am often confronted by lawyers with different motives, some directed at me, most directed at my colleagues. Which is why I am always impressed when I find an attorney who stands out among his colleagues. I have personally hired Gary Israel on at... least 2 occasions (neither having anything to do with medical malpractice) and he was able to resolve my issues in a timely and highly satisfactory way. Gary was either immediately available or returned my calls in a timely manner, and charged me fairly throughout the legal processes. There were never any "side issues" or extraneous legal distractions that took up any additional time or money. Mr Israel did not file the never-ending continuances that so many other lawyers seem so fond of. Also, whether the news was good or bad, Mr Israel gave it to me in a direct, no nonsense fasion (rather than beating around the bush), so that we could proceed in the most effective and timely fasion. I would stronly recommend Gary Israel to anyone seeking a highly competent, professional attorney who is unafraid to go to trial if necessary.

Gary Israel has done and is still working to provide me with all the knowledge i need to keep my children safe and to understand the Florida Family Law. Providing me with excellant service. His staff is also dedicated and very understanding. The office of Gary Israel i can't thank you enought in you...r support and dedication to my family.
