First time I saw him thru Lawyer referral services. Very attentive and knowledgable, and kind. Kind…read moregoes a long way with me. But a lawyer needs to know also what they are doing. Was the head of the local Bar association, so that is a plus. Helped me with a grave case during the pandemic; I was unable to dump some lunatic tenants. You are a lunatic if the rent is low with a good maintained home, and you allow your five dogs to crap up the whole territory for five months at a time and expect and imagine other tenants want to step and smell the stench. Lunacy. As she was going nutty on me, her spit got on my face which then was the opportunity to kick her out on her butt. Sheriff want to fly up my mountain to cite her. I did not want that on her record. Now I have a more grave issue with a section 8 man on SSI and who bangs on the shared wall terrifying single mother and youth, and shouting outside like another lunatic I have to deal with. Attacked me verbally for enforcing pulling weeds as mentioned in lease. If he hears tiny dogs bark for even a few minutes, he is out in the garden bellowing. He came from a monastery and thinks ordinary family noise are intolerable and wants total silence. But the funnest part is this tenant insists on paying cash in a mail box down the road where it gets stolen ALL THE TIME, and I never use, and somehow wants me to go up and down the road on rent day until he is in the mood to deliver the rent. Go pray elsewhere and stop terrorizing women and children. But apparently you can only use the lawyer referral system only once. I usually can terminate on my own unless the person has violent and aggression issues, then I do need a lawyer. I will serve and see how he responds without a lawyer as I cannot afford one. I have stalled since May, but now that he has involved pounding on a wall where youth live, my foot will be arriving at his bottom soon so the kids can calm down and live in a safe home and I can work on my land to make it firewise, without the threat of this man exploding on me. I hide now in my home, and it angers me as I am also semi bed ridden for 30 years, a adult orphan, as we are called, for this tenant to refuse to go, when he is causing chaos as he prays to his god. But if I did have money; this lawyer would be my choice.

He didn't prepare his client, brought no evidence, argued with the judge and told her she was wrong which made her angry, and didn't argue the case at hand - he spun off about irrelevant details.

We were shorted materials by the supplier and left with no recourse but to sue them. The actual damages fell within the amount allowed by the Small Claims court so we were able to sue the Vendor that way. In Small Claims court you are not allowed to have a Lawyer, but that does not mean you can't consult with a Lawyer before the trial. We paid Gary's firm a consultation fee and he provided us with the needed paperwork and gave us the advice we needed to to pursue the matter ourselves. I was referred to Gary by another Contractor that used his services to collect monies owed that required a trial in regular court. That Contractor was extremely pleased with the results of Gary's work. We both agree, Gary's knowledge of Construction Law is superb, he is easy to talk to and patient when explaining the ins and outs of your case. I absolutely recommend you talk to Gary's firm if you have any need for an Attorney. I believe you will find him to be very helpful. Eric
