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.

All I can say is be weary and do not grant this Attorney carte blanch at his exorbitant fees. I was appalled to discover additional charges at runaway rates, followed by a lawsuit from this guy, who is relentless when it comes to going after his own clients, expecting them to have an endless sea of ...funds. Yes, he has many years of experience, but do not let that fool you into submission and signing of his contracts...read each and every word as his contracts are primarily designed to protect only his best interests, from my experience. I can truly say that your best bet is not to just stay away, but do your research and dont be caught up in the hype and incredibly high fees and retainers.

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)

I've been associated AND a CLIENT of Gary Israel, for over a Year now (2015-2016). I can say over that length of time, he's dealt with numerous legal matters involving myself & my son (Legal Family/Domestic to Other). Cases that were, for me, the MOST important in my lifetime; involving my son! G...ary, from day 1 stood out as a man who cared and as a lawyer, overwhelmingly qualified if not, the best in this field. Period. Without question in my opinion. He advised me, initially, with legal advice, which NO OTHER lawyer had at that point (I called numerous lawyers for advice on what to do in my situation). From that moment, Gary was going to be my lawyer. I was NEVER skeptical, NEVER concerned and NEVER questioned the advice he gave me; with good reason and even more important, the RESULTS anyone in my position could've ever hoped for. Not to mention, on a few cases, RESULTS that NO ONE would've considered possible! My cases (yes, CASES...plural) were serious in nature and ranged in a varying of legal categories. EVERY SINGLE ONE, was handled with compassion, knowledge, timely & efficiently. It was obvious he had tremendous insight into the legal system and was completely about results. Verse the alternative, in which lawyers will "slow-play" for an increase in resources ($$) to be charged. NOT Gary! More importantly, if you ask me, is having a lawyer that is first and foremost a human being. Caring, understanding, truthful & forthcoming with a realistic approach. He is every bit and MORE than I can explain in words. This man, this lawyer, does more things for those in need, those who have physical & mental challenges, than anyone I have ever been associated with. He is an inspiration to his fellow man and leads by moral & ethical example. Period! I cannot say enough about Gary Israel. If you are looking for an attorney; rest assured Gary will take professional & excellent care of you. He will NOT sugar coat reality but instead, be forthcoming, honest, passionate and results driven. I am completely available for anyone who wants to speak further. I would do anything for this man, Gary Israel. I am indebted to him, I consider him a friend (to which I AM the lucky one) and a role-model. I would leave my son with him in a heartbeat if I ever needed; that comment might be the single greatest testament I could ever give anyone. Great experience having Gary Israel as my attorney. I would recommend him to anyone.

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.
