“Great PI - plaintiff's side attorney. I was on defense-side and Gary was able to extract an above-market settlement from other parties because of his reputation and he was likeable.”
“One of the best personal injury/trial attorney in the State of California.”
“If I had to pick one trial lawyer for a big personal injury case (and I couldn't choose me!) I'd pick Gary. He's someone who connects with any jury and has a visceral understanding of the path to the fair compensation, and always executes. Gary's been winning record trials for almost two decades now, and he's still young! A legend of the game.”
