All of the work that he did for me, I felt was very detailed and also very compassionate.

I didn’t have to worry as much and be on guard and figure it all out for myself as much because I knew that I had an expert there to really be that bulldog and steadfast and stick up for me when I knew I couldn’t stick up for myself. I am so grateful for everything that happened with me that I was able to find this 'bulldog' lawyer that could stand up for me at a time when I needed it most and for that I will be ever grateful.

I can't say enough about Gary and the way he treated me through the whole system. He was very knowledgeable, intelligent and he had a way of explaining things to help me understand so that I was more confident during the whole process. Gary was able to help me negotiate and get the kids into my custody 100% of the time. This really changed the lives of my daughters, myself, my entire family.

Brian
I was really impressed that each time I came to the office I didn't have to remind him of all the different details. He always remembered all of the minute details that were going on in my case. It really made me feel like he cared, and he really wanted to help me end up in a safe place. Through the litigations, I was able to take full custody of my children and to really provide them a safe environment. I don't think I would have had the confidence to do that without Gary's guidance. I am very grateful and I know that my children have been exposed to a very safe and loving home environment, and I really thank Gary for helping me with that.
