Thank you!!!
Gail, made sure I felt secure and supported and that I knew she was on my side and was going to do whatever was best to handle the situation as best as possible. She also took into account my worries and frustrations when resolving my case and did whatever was necessary to find a settlement so it could be done with since I expressed how I didn’t want it to be an ongoing thing because of my anxiety. She also answered my phone calls way late at night when I had any questions, going past her office hours, showing how invested she truly was.

More than expected!
When you hear most people talk about lawyers it’s usually pretty negative. It was the complete opposite with Gail! She was very attentive and made the process streamlined and as hands off as possible. We never worried where we stood or if she understood our concerns. We were very well taken care of. We hope to never have need of a lawyer in the future but if we do it will be with Gail and her law firm.

Response from Gail Barsky July 16, 2020
Thank you so much for your review. It was a sincere pleasure representing your family. We were able to make a public statement against the system; it was based upon your tenacity of believing in fighting to make an institution accountable for a wrong that occurred. You could have easily ignored it but together we sent a message!

Car accident
I’ve been working with Gail Barsky for a a little while now and she’s been amazing. Gail has kept me in the loop with the entire process of my car accident and has provided me the knowledge I needed when asking any questions I’ve had. She’s also continued to fight for me even when we came to an agreement amount. I couldn’t be happier with the progress.

Excellent Attorney
Gail is an excellent attorney. She took time to get to know me, my case and my family. She wanted to deeply understand the impact that my injuries had on both me and my family. Also, she kept me apprised of the status of my case throughout the process. Gail assured me that she would fight on my behalf and that is exactly what she did. Rather than accepting the insurance company's first offer of $25k, Gail continued to negotiate until they agreed to pay $43k.

My Attorney, but also more important My Friend
Gail was recommended to me by the Bar Association after I contacted them for guidance in securing a personal injury attorney. While meeting with Gail the first time I was impressed with her knowledge and treatment of my circumstances. She explained her fees and the steps she would take to secure a positive outcome. The case was settled with a reasonable outcome. Gail also represented me in another personal injury case with positive results. Today she represents my Daughter.

Gail Barsky is a superstar!
To say Gail is a dynamo is an understatement! Her tenacity, attention to detail, and most importantly passion shine through in everything she does! She really cares and as a client you feel that with every interaction you have with her. She is quick on her feet and brilliant! She is always 3 steps ahead to ensure her client is protected and justice is received. She brings exceptional wisdom, experience, and that personal touch to her law practice which is not common anymore. 5 stars are not enough to rate Gail!

Got results
I was in a unique situation, involving two accidents within a few days of each other, a large medical bill, and an un-cooperative adjuster. I was in a situation where after everything, I would be left with a large medical bill, and no compensation for loss of wages or the financial and emotional effects these accidents had on my professional and personal life. Within 5 months of speaking with Gail for the first time, I am coming away with compensation, zero medical bills over my head and a huge weight off my shoulders. Gail put in the work, and obviously knows exactly how to navigate tough situations and get the results desired by her clients. Her attitude and good communication were greatly appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gail Barsky to anyone looking for a professional and experienced attorney.

Car Accident Case
I consulted and hired Attorney Gail Barsky from Suzuki Law Office for a car accident case. Once the process started, her knowledge, trustworthiness and detail orientation of handling the case was outstanding. She kept me always informed and provided all the information that I needed as the case progressed. I am pleased and happy with case results, I definitely recommend Mrs. Barsky as an Attorney at Law.
