Mr.Garay Cares and is Tenacious

A few years ago I found myself being taken advantage of by a company which I had put my sweat and hard work into for over 10 years. After I went to the top for help, the working conditions seemed to get worse. I was rarely or never given lunch or breaks and I was missing a lot of overtime from my c...heck. I experienced retaliation after I voiced my concerns for a third time. It was not just me, the company also took advantage of other workers. It seemed to be hopeless and I could not leave the job even though I couldn't stand showing up to work. I called Mr.Garay and was relieved to find out that something could be done. Mr.Garay and his staff took immediate action, the harassment stopped, and soon I was wearing the "golden cloak." My fellow employees and I were compensated for our unpaid wages through a class action suit. I also received an enhancement for starting the class action and the company agreed to a pre-negotiated severance and liquidated damages in case the company tried to retaliate. The process of righting our plight was made easier by Mr.Garay, who fought for us with professionalism while all the while being courteous and sensitive to our concerns.

Mr. Garay Shows no Fear When Taking on Fortune 500 Companies

Mr. Garay is an extraordinary attorney. Top notch representation. I have referred him to everybody I know for five years now, and will continue to do so. The first time I hired him, all others attorneys told me that I had no case against a major .com. Mr. Garay represented me and obtained a settl...ement in the six figures. Mr. Garay walked me through a very difficult time in my life and he was always available to answer questions. I had access to his cell and he worked with my schedule. When my case went to litigation, I immediately understood why he is one of the most feared lawyers by the big defense firms. Thank you Mr. Garay Hector
