” I didn’t know Gary prior to retaining him in 1990 to represent my wife in a federal criminal matter. Although he came very highly recommended, I was still surprised by what an effective lawyer he is. In response to my queries, I heard things like “a real warrior,” “someone who will go the distance,” “He will fight for you, like you’re his own blood.” I found that even those references didn’t describe the man I had the good fortune to retain. It only took a moment to realize I was dealing with a man of honor and integrity; someone with a passion for the law and fighting for his clients. His courtroom demeanor went beyond my expectations; his rapport with the judge was like no other I have seen. Gary is one of the only lawyers I’ve known who has been to hell and knows what it’s like — he will do everything he can to keep anyone else from ever having to go there. His representation of my wife was no exception, she walked out of the courtroom a free woman. Whenever I’m asked if I know a good attorney, I say “No, but I know a great one!””
