Gary Edward Shader

I am very thankful for Gary Shader. He was very wise in handling my divorce case over ten years ago. So much so, that today, the fruit of his expertise and counsel have stood the test of time even when challenged some years later. I marvel over this fact today and wanted to put into writing my... gratitude for his wise legal counsel and professional handling of my case during a distressing period for me. His office is managed by competent legal aides who also helped in carrying my case forward. His office atmosphere was relaxed. Today, I remain secure in the legal boundaries that were established over a decade ago as very necessary for the well-being of myself and my children. For this reason, I am writing to express my appreciation and thanks. I have also known him to give advice about running and drinking water when asked!

I am a lawyer and have known Gary as a peer for 30+ years. He represented me in my divorce 10 yrs ago, and throughout, resulting recently in a negotiated termination of permanent alimony. Family law has been the focus of his practice his entire career leaving him with credibility and experience tha...t is invaluable in his dealings with attorneys and judges. Highly recommened by me to my clients.

My fairly straightforward case was left in crises after the trail and the court’s ruling. I felt devastated emotionally and was about to be devastated financially. On the verge of moving to the appellate court, I first consulted with Mr. Shader who agreed to take my case at a critical time. He clea...rly walked me through the options my children and I had for the future. With his vast credentials & experience in the field of family law; his knowledge of the central Florida court judges, attorneys and political system and his skill in calming a highly inflamed situation, he strategically moved the outcome of my case in 60 days. I believe his wisdoms have led my case to the best possible outcome. I have recommended Mr. Shader to others and without hesitation I will continue to give his name to parents and kids in need of the best legal representation.

He gave a great speech to get me to hire him. I got the initial impression that he was going to aggressively represent me. He did not live up to his own hype. He did very little for me. He didn't even file a motion to have my ex provide her financial information despite my ex requesting my inform...ation and a significant portion of my income. I got the feeling that once my retainer payment cleared, he lost interest in my case. I think I could have done just as well hiring a paralegal to assist me with court filings.
