Trustworthy, Professional, Knowledgeable, Personable

Bary Gassman is a tenacious advocate for his clients. Bary represented me in a personal injury claim, and his meticulous attention to detail and insightful approach led us to a successful settlement. I trusted that Bary was out for my best interest, and Bary made me feel like a very important clie...nt. He has excellent knowledge of the law, is thorough, and did all research necessary to be well informed and well-prepared. He was professional, returned my calls, emails promptly, and updated me regularly. He was personable, made me feel at ease, answered all my questions and explained everything in a very easy-to-understand manner. I highly value Bary and recommend him.

Attorney and an Advisor

Bary Gassman was hired as a lawyer for my daughter's accidental death case. He worked with us closely and guided us in the right direction. He was there for all questions we had during our difficult time. He seamlessly coordinated with the insurance companies to resolve the case on a timely fashion.... He was always available 24 X 7 to take any questions and his detailed communication helped us to resolve the issues even when we were abroad . His commitment and diligence is key for his success.

Auto Accident Insurance Claim

It's pleasure working with Bary. He always keeps personal connection and made me feel very comfortable throughout the claim process. He is very transparent with the case and honest with his advice. I always reach out to him for any legal advice. Thanks for helping out Bary.

President & CEO

Bary represented me in a construction defect litigation claim. We acted as plaintiff on a claim, and then had to defend against a counter-claim against the same opposition. He was an excellent attorney across the board. His ability to maintain a perspective on the broader strategy, combined with a...n understanding of the relevant details, was an incredibly important part of why we prevailed in our claim. I would give Bary the highest recommendation, and would be happy to discuss details or answer questions if needed.

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.
