Beware!

I recently went through a collaborative divorce, and Mr. Gayler was my wife's attorney. I think he's a great guy, and I don't write this to disparage him. I want to protect everyone else from wasting their time and money. He initialy preached collaborative law, and it seemed great. But once we si...gned the agreement, he essentially stopped working. He wouldn't respond to emails, he was consistently evasive and rarely prepared for meetings, he never responded to the first proposal my attorney and I presented, and he continuously promised to provide information but didn't. He was never punctual, except for when it was time to get paid. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed in a 'professional.'

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.
