About Gary
Biography
Starting out in the Dade County Public Defender's Office, I tried over 50 jury and bench trials. With that unique courtroom experience, I transitioned to civil litigation, working for a boutique firm in Coral Gables, where I developed expertise in construction law, handling all types of project-related claims in both judicial and arbitral forums, ranging from simple non-payment claims to complex delay and construction defect claims. In 2006, I became Board Certified by the Florida Bar in Construction Law. From 2003-2008, I headed the Construction Law and Commerical Litigation Department at a statewide lawfirm, where I cultivated and developed a following of construction industry and commercial clients. From 2008-present, I have chaired the Construction Litigation Practice Group at Weiss, Serota, Helfman, Pastoriza, Cole & Boniske, P.L. a 50+ lawyer AV-rated firm with offices in Coral Gables and Fort Lauderdale, providing advice and guidance to the firm's many municipal and private clients on a variety of construction issues.
