Highly recommend Gary Wente

Gary helped my husband and I create a will for our family. He was very detailed and helpful in getting the will done in a timely manner. Gary was also always available to answer any questions we had through the process. I would highly recommend Gary!

Review of Gary H Wente Esq.

I hired Gary to do a real estate closing for me. It was a pretty complex transaction dealing with an estate. He did a fantastic job, going over and above what he really needed to do.. His advice was terrific and his work ethic was great. His written and oral communication skills were superb. He alw...ays kept me informed every step of the way and made the whole experience easy. I would certainly recommend him to others and use him again.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
