OUTSTANDING!!!

Words can’t explain how thankful I am to have had Gary take my case. Not only is and was he professional, he shows he cares about his clients case and puts in the effort to make sure you are compensated 110%. I highly recommend this lawyer! Thanks again Gary!

Amazing attorney with great communication and determination!

I was referred to Mr. Basham by another law firm, and I am so happy with all he has done for me. He made the experience very comfortable, and was extremely thorough in the process. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney for a workplace lawsuit. Thank you!

10/10 Best employment lawyer you’ll find.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Gary a few times over the last four years and he has never let me down. I had unfortunately entered an industry that had no idea how to treat their employees or follow CA labor laws in various ways and he pulled through winning every single case for me. 5/5 wins... and if I have any other issues in the future I know who I’m calling. He is very helpful in explaining and outlining everything and is very upfront and real about the possible outcomes of the situations on hand. Very responsive and overall a super nice guy to talk to overall.

Quick and Professional

I needed someone to review and respond to my case fairly quickly. Gary was so professional and moved the process along very timely and with great efficiency. He kept me up to date on what was happening and all my options throughout the whole process which gave me peace of mind and the transparency wa...s very much appreciated. Gary was able to win my case and get me the necessary outcome based on the facts and the law. My experience was so wonderful, I have already reach out for his consultation on another situation. Would highly recommend Gary and his firm.

Forever grateful

Gary Basham made a difficult situation easier, he was readily available to assist me and help me understand legal jargon and advocated for me to the best of his abilities. I am thankful for everything he has done for me and the time invested in my case. I would strongly recommend Gary to anyone in ne...ed of assistance and his legal expertise.

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.
