Great Construction Lawyer

Just wanted to share a few words about our experience with Gary. Gary has been working with my wife and I over a dispute we have with a contractor. I cannot get into the details of the dispute, but over the past several months, we have gotten to know Gary very well. He takes our calls when it is con...venient for us. He recollects discussions in detail that we had months earlier. He answers all of our myriad questions professionally and with a deep understanding of contract law. Most importantly: he trusts us, trusts our position, and doggedly defends us. When a development in our case happens, Gary is there to calm our nerves and give us thoughtful advice. We have followed all his recommendations and are in a better place because of them. We are not done with our dispute, but every time we talk to Gary, we feel more confident and believe resolution will be favorable and soon at hand. He has never given up on us as we worked together to avoid using the court system to resolve the matter. We talked to Gary today after about a month. He quickly remembered our case, and we spoke like old friends talking about family and cracking jokes. He has become to us more than just our legal advisor. He is part of our team. Remarkably, we have done all this work with Gary while in the consultative phase of our relationship. He refuses to take our money! For all the reasons I cited, I highly recommend him if anyone needs a solid construction lawyer to represent them.

Thorough and responsive attorney

Gary Weiss is astute, honest, and clearly takes personal pride in his work. Gary genuinely cares about his clients and tries to leave no stone unturned in his representation. Gary took the time to understand the intricate and complex details of our case. He also went the extra mile by seeking out res...earch and books on projects like ours, with Gary ultimately ending up knowing more about concrete installation than our contractor. Gary’s thorough analysis, confident findings, and unrelenting persistence resulted in a positive outcome for our case. Without hesitation, we give Gary the highest rating, because when it comes to providing personable and professional support, Gary undoubtedly turns it up to 11.

Great, No-Nonsense Lawyer

Gary is an excellent lawyer and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone I meet. I was dealing with a contractor who performed very poor quality work at our house. We refused to pay the contractor the last payment and the relationship really went sour. Once the contractor threate...ned to put a lien on the house and sue for the final payment, I reached out to Gary for advice. Gary was always candid with me and thorough when gathering all the facts on the numerous issues that we had with the contractor. After putting together an airtight case that we were almost certain to win in court, Gary talked me through the options to proceed. The next part was what impressed me the most: instead of advising me to go ahead and sue the contractor for breach of contract, he advised to not hire him, as it wouldn’t be worth the money or stress. I dare you to find a lawyer who will tell you not to hire them, as I doubt there are many out there. If I ever get to the point where the contractor sues us (unlikely), then I will definitely reach back out to Gary, who will work his tail off to get the desired result. If you ever need to hire someone to represent you in construction or contractual matters, give Gary a call, as he will always pick up the phone and give you solid advice.

Great lawyer, very personable, caring, and hardworking

Gary was great to work with and very personable. He truly cares about his clients and will work very hard. He was solely focused on helping us achieve our goals - resolve an issue with a GC as quickly as possible. Thanks to Gary we got our desired outcome with the peace of mind we needed.

Foundational Representation, Sound Advice, and Guidance

Gary is an absolute pitbull. He works his tail off and always puts the client first. He’s determined, passionate, and great at what he does. He took my case when I was defrauded by a business partner. He closely walked me through his attack plan making sure I understood it and was comfortable with it.... Gary's vast knowledge, grasp of details & professional demeanor have proven to be an invaluable asset. He will provide assurance and a winning attitude at every stage. He took the time to explain the intricacies his strategy providing me with the confidence that we were going to win.... and win we did!! If you want the benefit of a big-firm with the attention to detail you would expect only at a small firm, Gary is your man. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
