Employment and labor lawyer | Mar 15

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Gary is one of the last great trial lawyers. Every case he takes on he works up as if it were going to trial and has the means to fight the large cases most firms cannot. He tries more civil cases than probably any other attorney. (4 major cases in one year while I was with his firm). He is well-respected in the legal community and continues to fight hard for justice."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
