This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great!

I chose Gary Prust as council on a DWI charge, and was very pleased with the outcome. Gary was available at every step with the information and guidance necessary to get through the process. His confidence in his abilities and my case gave me the peace of mind that is of utmost importance when deal...ing in such a situation. As a result of his professionalism and expertise, my record was kept clean with minimal cost in fees or personal grievances. In short, I would (and have) recommend Mr. Prust to anyone in need of legal services.

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.
