Terrible service = NO service, after you pay them - Seem cheerful putting you off

2-15-2025 The poor reviews are correct. TERRIBLE service after you pay up front. Find someone else to actually represent you. They say they will only until they get your money. For even small dollars they are comfortable letting their reputation go south to ignore your calls, taking advantage of ...your desperation. Forget about them getting back to you. No information, no status, not in the office, no strategy. Empty air, missing money, plain bad service. To add insult to injury, a complete waste of time and effort. One of the positive reviews was by their staff member Morena Elias, that says something.

Has worked very well for me

After hiring Gary, I was pleased with how my case was resolved. I was consultated on the situation, offered a flat fee and the law office performed as expected. I had to be patient since the other party was doing everything they could to avoid and then delay as much as possible. I guess with litiga...tion, this is par for the course.

Deceivers

This law firm will be falling apart, even their paralegal has left them. Do not fall prey!! Incompetency to its fullest!! Doesn’t know anything of what is going on! Pathetic and embarrassing! Paid him 40k for nothing. I am screwed because of him. He did nothing to defend me — all talk!

BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS!!!!!

If you’re on here, it might be because you didn’t read one of these reviews before hiring Gary Saunders and are now checking to see if you’re alone in this situation. After speaking with the secretary, were you put on the phone with a with a very soft spoken, overtly gently voiced Gary Saunders?... Did Gary seem to have an abundance of empathy and compassion for your case? Did he act extremely interested in your case and possibly call about it even multiple times in one day to show his concern (and remind you to sign the fee agreement and send a direct deposit?) - if so, you’re not alone! Did Gary ask you to spend hours of your day uploading documents over an already emotionally stressful case, only to not respond to you for weeks or at all on the client portal? Did he then have his buddy Vasilli email you that they haven’t heard from you, blame shifting the lack of work on to you after hours of work you know you did? When you confronted them about checking your client portal (or not checking it), did your client portal account suddenly stop working and the password stop logging you in? If this is the case, you’re not alone! When you asked for a refund, were you initially offered 20%, and then asked to sign a form that dismissed them of liabilities if signed? You don’t have to fall for this trap. It seems like many of the people that hired Gary Saunders didn’t have the ability to file against him because of finances, etc. For anyone out there who has been robbed by this man, just know he finally scammed someone who retained an attorney to fully look into this. Feel free to message me if Gary has wronged you. I am also planning on filing against him with multiple Police Departments at my soonest convenience.
