Top Notch

When we went to see Gabe we were unsure of the exact direction we needed to go with our legal paperwork. Gabe talked us through the different scenerios that applied to us, explained things in terms that we could understand, and guided us through the maze of different documents. He then sent us home... with our "homework" to do. We communicated with him via email to iron out details and when we met with him for the final signing of documents he was very efficient and explained everything very well. Gabe has a sense of humor that was greatly appreciated. Thank you, Gabe, for a job well done. Our peace of mind is a direct result of your professionalism and kindness.

Excellent Attorney

I first hired Gabe to represent me in a probate matter. Then my husband and I asked him to update our wills and related documents. Gabe is very professional and easy to work with. He is knowledgeable and thorough, and he does a good job of explaining things. Because we trust his judgment, we hav...e asked him to recommend other professionals to us, such as a financial advisor and CPA. Although it is difficult to think about one's own mortality (much less spend money on it!), an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And when it comes time for our own wills to be probated, we know that our child will be in good hands working with Gabe. That kind of peace of mind is priceless.

Excellent Wills and Estate Attorney

We worked with Gabe to set up our wills and estate paperwork. He made the process seamless and easy, helping us understand each aspect along the way. We left feeling confident in our decisions and grateful Gabe made it a painless experience. Highly recommend!

Highly Recommend

I can't say enough about Gabriel and my experience working with him. Not only was it my first time to work with a lawyer, it was very unexpected, as I had to go through probate after losing my spouse. Gabriel is communicative, thorough, patient and most importantly for me, compassionate. He is clearl...y invested in ensuring the best possible outcome for his clients. He was always clear, easy to talk to, and deeply knowledgeable. I later used him for my estate planning needs and will continue to use him when needed. I can't thank him enough for all he has done for me and my family.

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.
