Excellent, thorough and caring Attorney

Our small business hired Gary for help with a font licensing issue. He was extremely thorough with all documents and research before giving his professional advice. He'll give it to you straight and manages to keep you calm through the process. He listened to our concerns and provided a strong positi...on on our behalf. We highly recommend Gary!

Excellent Advisor

Gary has provided me with cost-effective, timely, and appropriate services. He's helped me do the things that my (very) small business needed. In particular he's assisted with contract negotiation, trademark registration, and copyright issues. I will always turn to Gary when I need help. I feel t...hat Gary has the expertise to help any client but small clients in particular can benefit from his services. He's done a good job of communicating with me, meeting deadlines, and giving me enough personal attention so that I felt involved with the process. And he knows what he's doing, too. That last part is paramount, of course.

Gary Marshall - fantastic attorney experience

Having Gary represent me was the best legal decision I made this year. I had a dispute with a rather large company and he managed my relationship with them fantastically. He made it go from adversarial to cooperative all the while keeping me relaxed and feeling good about my situation, yet honest abo...ut the realities of my circumstances. He was sensitive about my finances and worked with me on structuring payments. Gary did a wonderful job of keeping me informed and I never felt left out of the loop. He even went out of his way by giving me freebie's here and there that he didn't have to do. I got the sense Gary really cared about me and my situation and genuinely did his best job in the most efficient manner possible. I would without hesitation recommend Gary Marshall.

Gary == Awesome

I've worked with Gary on a number of business and personal legal issues, and have found him to be smart, to the point, responsive, and super helpful in all cases. He's got a great breadth of knowledge and an approach that works for those of us who aren't actually lawyers. :-)

Intellectual property lawyer | Jan 27

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I strongly endorse Gary Marshall to members and users of the legal community. I am a Collaborative / Family Law attorney, and I also work as a Mediator. My work with clients is focused on getting my clients the information they need to reach an out-of-court resolution of their case that reflects their sense of fairness and justice. On many occasions during my work with clients issues outside my area of expertise are raised. When the issue is related to contract drafting and analysis, pension valuations, or intellectual property issues I call on Gary's expertise. On all occasions I have found Gary's work to be accurate, of great use to my clients, and cost-effective. I highly recommend Gary's services."
