My husband and I hired him a couple years ago to resolve our tax issue (we needed to make installment agreement with IRS) Our case was passed around to several different lawyers in his firm. Zero follow-up! And the installment agreement to this day has never been set up. I’m guessing they have a huge turnover in his office. Not once have we ever received anything that had been promised. He never even spoke to us again after we paid him. Just a couple of weeks ago Cheryl e-mailed us about a notice they received from the IRS. When my husband had a call with them a few days ago and spoke with the gal who answered the phone , she had absolutely NO idea what was going on, she thought it was a bankruptcy. Then a completely different attorney reached out from his office and wants money, again. Please people, do your homework and do NOT waste you money. Take your business elsewhere!

My husband and I just did our complete estate plan with Gary and had a wonderful experience. I don't think anyone really gets excited to make plans for what will happen after their death but Gary and his team made the process easy for us. They were very personable and easily answered all of our questions. Now we know that our children and assets will be taken care of according to our wishes if something happens to us.

He was hired by my family to help with a legal matter and was terrible to work with. He has been of no help and now cost us $1000's of dollars we will never be able to recover. Horrible customer service and would not return calls or emails. Take it from us...hire a different lawyer and save yourself the stress and financial loss.

We hired Gary to help us save our house. Imagine our surprise when 8 months later our house was sold at auction without any notice to us! All of our foreclosure notices went to Mr Quackenbush, and he forwarded NONE of them to us. Multiple attempts were made to contact him by phone and email, as well as by another attorney. To date (over a year later), he has not returned any of those. In fact, we recently found out that he didn't even show up to court on our behalf. Please hire anyone else. Gary Quackenbush will not help you.

Came into Gary's office just over a year ago, I was buried in back tax debt. Not only was he significantly cheaper than many of the other San Diego area attorneys, he was much more personable. He did my Offer in Compromise and today I am debt free, all my returns are filed, and I am on track.

I came into Gary's office in a panic due to my current financial situation. After hearing Gary on the Craig Sewing Show, I called and made an appointment. Gary made it all clear and helped me understand what to do and how he was going to help me. He was affordable, responsive, and very helpful through the whole process. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a dedicated attorney.

I went to Gary with questions about what I needed to do to make sure things were taken care of when I pass away. I didn't really know what options were out there. He took the time to explain multiple options and what each piece of an estate plan would look like. Even better, he had a quick turn around time on drafting my documents.

Overall rating is FAIR. Gary was very hopefull after the first meeting, he quickly got my money which was really more than I could afford but I really needed help...then he was "okay" but then time passed by less and less helpfull, never did get the answers I was looking for. He wasnt the worst but far from the best. He did not keep us in the loop or informed. Bottom-line is I was and am very disappointed. Sad.

Never returned any of my calls I felt riped off and taken for my money.

Gary's follow through and desire to keep his clients informed is by far the worst of any attorney I have ever encountered. He assured me that I would hear back from him within less than 30 days. During this time, I repeatedly attempted to communicate with him, but he neglected each of my emails and telephone calls. Finally, almost three months later, he responded. I truly regret ever hiring him and advise anyone else to look else where for an experienced and compassionate tax or bankruptcy attorney. Avoid Gary at all costs!!!!
