DONT HIRE

Horrible gas lighter, very unprofessional, I wouldn’t hire him for nothing more than a domestic dispute at best. Way overpriced to say the absolute least. I hired this guy for a simple bankruptcy proceeding, this guy shows up to court without filing any motions at all! The judge gives a deadline then... magically he has freaking vacation!? Can you believe that. Had a horrible time trying to get the guy to accept any accountability for it. Everything was blamed on his secretary and legal aid. I’m starting to doubt this guy even has one !

Whoever you are, when do you say you hired me? I have never had an Antonio as a client. And what do you think I charge per hour? I haven't had a BK client in the last 15 years but in the hundreds I did I never missed a 341 date. Did James L. Arrasmith pay you to write this bogus "review"? HE is the one charging $900 per hour, and routinely blaming his staff for his laziness, mistakes, and his incorrect AI-generated legal advice.

Very prompt, knowledgeable and experienced

Gary's prompt advice to me on this forum truly made a lot of sense. My prior lawyer had complicated my case even more and has been harassing me with ridiculous bills that were never specified in the contract. Garry's prompt advise has been a great help to me.

Very helpful, friendly, great sense oif humor

Gary was extremely helpful with a complicated property issue that had been concerning me for years. He is very knowledgable and explained things clearly in an easy-to-understand way and I appreciated the time he spent researching the issue even though he admitted this issue was not within his specif...ic areas of expertise - so he spent tim eon it knowing he was going to refer me elsewhere. Impressed! Thanks Gary.

Great Attorney

I consulted with Gary on procedural law issues and he did an excellent job entertaining my concerns. He has considerable knowledge of the law and vast practice experience. I'm currently working on a case, was stuck on procedural issue and he put me on the right track. Thanks Gary!
