Gary Ostrow is Phenomenal
I have dealt with many attorneys in my life. They all promise the moon and back and rarely deliver. Gary Ostrow was a breath of fresh air. He legitimately cared about my case, a misunderstanding I had over a false suspended license. He gave me pertinent advice, that felt like he truly had my beat...

Best defence is on ur side
Im here bc of Gary Ostrow whom has proven to be the most honest and dedicated criminal defense attorney I ever met not only because he answers every calls every time I called but advises preciously and wisely on the matters at hand and most importantly wins the cases that most lawyers would not even...
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Gary ostrow over the past 17 years . I first met him when I was a prosecutor when he was a defense attorney. I had a trial against him and quickly realized that he was the best defense attorney I had ever gone against. Since that time I've had the privilege to work alongside him on other cases. He truly cares about every client and is passionate about his work. After knowing him for so many years and getting to see how he prepares for each case, he would be the first person I would call if I was ever to be in trouble because I know he would fight hard for me and he is still one of the best trial lawyers I have ever known."
"There are only a handful of attorneys that I would hire to represent me or a family member and Gary is one of them. If your objective is to hire an attorney with a "10 out of 10" AVVO ranking, by all means go ahead. Be sure to send me your inmate # and DOC facility so we can be pen pals. Alternatively, if your objective is to stay out of prison, disregard the AVVO rank and hire Gary."
"I have known Mr. Ostrow for 30 years and had the pleasure of referring several clients to him over the years. I have seen his work and can honestly say that he gets excellent results. Gary is a tireless worker on behalf of his clients. I recommend his services and will continue to recommend him in the future to any of my clients that need criminal defense work."

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2015.
Public Reprimand issued in FL, 2015
updated on 09/30/2015Public reprimand means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar warns the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.
“Sadly, this website red flags my practice without having ANY details of a public reprimand I consented to in a Bar Disciplinary matter. I am a member of the Florida Bar in good standing and I stand on my career of over 30 years of busting my back for my clients and RESENT this site for it's inappropriate, disproportionate and absurd red flag that completely ignores the many client and attorney reviews that reflect my true character and passion as a defense lawyer with a history of over 500 trial”
Suspension issued in FL, 2010
updated on 09/30/2015Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.
“This profile is under protest based on the unfair treatment I received from AVVO in light of their outrageous red flag, that appears to be a sign of a dangerous lawyer who should be avoided. Everything about my trial stats and history suggests everything but!!! Its a travesty”
