Gary is a MUST!

I was in a car accident over 2 years ago, my first call was to the police, then to my family, and right after it was to Gary. He and his team took care of EVERYTHING! They found me doctors, therapist, where to go for my MRIs. Even was able to find me a place where they could give me a sit down MRI be...cause I am claustrophobic. I and my family who were also involved in the accident were extremely grateful for what Gary did for us and the compensation we received.

A Lawyer You Can Trust that Fights and Wins!

Gary has represented me on two separate occasions with incredible results. I was originally referred to Gary by a good friend after I was hit by a careless driver on my bicycle a few years back. Gary was able to get me the settlement I needed to help cover my medical bills and the damages I incurred.... A few months ago I was hit by another careless driver, this time while sitting at a red light. With sever damages to my body and car, Gary's first priority was my well-being and health. Personally checking on me every step of the way and ensuring I had the proper medical care made a big difference in my recovery. When I was concerned about the medical costs, he reassured me that I was making the correct decisions and worked hard to ensure the insurance companies took care of their obligations to me. Gary always had my best interests in mind regardless of the case or its outcome. If you need someone to fight and win for you, then Gary Lazarus is the lawyer and friend you need in your corner. Thank you Gary and Arlene!

He works with the doctors and treatment centers to get your cost down to the lowest possible. I would always call on him whenever I need an attorney.

Great Representation

I had an accident last year that recently closed around two months ago. Gary was great. He kept me in informed, he explained to me what exactly I needed to do, and most importantly he asked me how I was feeling. He went above and beyond a business transaction. Gary was human and had my best interest... at heart. I highly recommend Gary as he provided superb representation for me on my case. The outcome was worth the wait to complete the case.

Respectful Trustworthy Attorney

Gary just settled a complicated personal injury case for me. Through out the process he was available to explain the process and legal difficulties to me. I do not reside in Florida. I met with him once when I was in Florida and we spent a lot of time discussing the case. He was also present for my d...eposition. He also recommended to a fine real estate attorney I highly recommend Gary Lazarus !
