Don't waste your time or money

I recently used his service, and I have to say that it was one of tye most frustrating and disappointing experiences that I have had to go through. In the beginning of the process, everything was going well and at full speed. Contract was signed, retainer was processed. Meetings were set up (huge w...as of money by the way). Lots of side talk while the clock was ticking. Signs of incompentence was demonstrated when in meetings or emails, mr. Gayler denied knowledge of informations related to the case that was provided via email or during previous group meetings. Frustration on my part obviously increased, and when i shared them with him he felt offended and started ignoring my contact attempts. Why not seek for another professional? Because I was locked. The case/time was so advanced, that it would be more expensive and longer to both parties. Going through the frustration was the only option. During the whole process, I felt like i was going against my ex, her lawyer and mr Gayler. It was a "collaborative" process, but there wa no representation. Most of the work done was accomplished by me talking/argumenting with the other party. His job was not more not less than a typical paralegal duty of printing filled templates and collecting money. At the end I got what I wanted, but I can not give any credit to his services.
