I would like to say thank you to Mr. Cornwall. When I meet Gary I was on the court front steps about to loose my kids because the judge told me to go and work more.. Did not care about the relationship between me and my children. ( I have to say I could not be any closer to my kids) when Gary took me on 10 months ago my situation could not be any worse, and unfairly so!!!! Since then with a lot of hard work and dedication we have worked towards my children staying here with their father and not moving away from all that they know with their mother. Thank you so much Gary!!! I not only have grown to love Gary as my lawyer and a friend but am thankful for everything he has done for me. I am also thankful for all the life lessons he has tought me. Last but not least I have grown to love his side kick Maggie, his beautiful German Shepard.. She is another saved soul by Gary Cornwall, like my self.. I meet her myself when she first joined the family and could not look forward to seeing her more every time I visit Gary. When I am stressed out and go to Gary to deal with the most difficult things ever it is Maggie that makes me smile. I am not only a client of Gary but he is now my friend.. I can't explain how thankful I am to even know Maggie and Mr. Cornwall. Gable

By the time I found Gary I had been put through the ringer in Dept. 14 down at Martinez Court. My case was going on 5 years and the file takes up SEVERAL boxes. Needless to say, he had his work cut out for him. I made several visits to his office to discuss the case and answer questions - he is very easy to talk to and he's heard it ALL. No judgement, which was refreshing. His assistant Miss Vicki was a tremendous help with my case. She is a valuable asset to his practice and felt supported by the entire office. Gary is trial - very much on his game in court and in front of the judge. He is the attorney you want by your side in trial. He does NOT back down to other council. He does not back down to the judge. It's so important to have a sincere show of support by your attorney. It speaks volumes to the entire courtroom and reminds these callous judges that you're a human being. I wish I had found Gary sooner. Ironically, the judge shared my sentiments. I would refer Gary to anyone seeking an experienced attorney for child custody, divorce, guardianship, etc.

Gary was previously my lawyer but I fired him. He represented me in a divorce case that went on for more than 2 years which was much longer than Gary originally estimated. I've now been with my new attorney for 6 months and I am extremely confident that Gary was severely over charging me for work he claimed was completed. I am now also stuck with a temporary support order that Gary negotiated that has proven to be extremely difficult to manage and has cost me thousands of more dollars than it should have if the document was properly written. I challenged Gary on my invoices multiple times related to errors and received several reductions., In addition I feel like Gary gave me poor advice when negotiating different part of my divorce that have come back to haunt me as I've worked through the divorce process. Gary was not proactive in working to settle my case. In summary I would never hire Gary again nor would I recommend him to any clients. On the positives Gary was very accessible in terms of being reached by phone.

I have known Gary for over 15 years. I have referred him no less than 20 clients. Why? Simply put, he is nothing short of the best. He is knowledgeable. He is trustworthy. He is accessible. Most importantly, he listens and respects his clients. Legal issues bring anxiety; there is no way around that. He actually wants to work with opposing attorneys to ease situations rather than further fuel the fire. Yet, if needed he will protect you as his client and act as an umbrella shielding you from unnecessary stress. Without a doubt, I will always turn to Gary for anything first. If you are looking for a true "team" member, then you have found him in Gary.

Mr. Cornwall is an attorney that I contacted by accident. Although my case does not involve family law issues, it is important to me. Mr. Cornwall took the time from his schedule to inform me of the areas in which he practices. While my case is outside of Mr. Cornwall's general area of practice, Mr. Cornwall researched my issue, answered my questions and provided me with referrals to attorneys who could help me in my particular case. I would recommend Mr. Cornwall to anyone who has a Family Law, Civil or Guardianship issue.

I have known Gary for about 12 years. . He is knowledgeable, supportive, has good communication skills, and is very prompt in answering e-mails and phone calls. Gary has a professional yet personal touch and I highly recommend him without any hesitations.

I hired Gary to represent me in my divorce almost three years ago. He was given a case with many obstacles and I came out victorious. Due to Gary’s tenacity and perseverance my children and I were able to keep our home and come out ahead financially. When I first came to Gary there were serious issues with my case. If there was an aspect of my case Gary was not familiar with, he went out and obtained the necessary knowledge to fight for me. We won our case, which should have been a slam-dunk for the opposing counsel because Gary and his staff would not give up on me. If I were having a melt-down and believe me there were a few, Gary and/or his paralegal, Vicky took the time to listen and make sure I was taken care of and understood everything that was happening with my case. Financially Gary is very affordable and worth every bit!The phone was always answered, emails responded to, even on weekends and evenings. Many people become bitter and angry during this process but, Gary and Vicky managed to keep me grounded and focused and I am VERY happy with the out come. And that is something money can’t buy.

I hired him to finish my divorce and mainly child support and custody. Gave him a $5,000.00 retainer of which he depleted and was still in the same place 1 1/2 years later. He is not trustworthy as he told the court I was reconciling with my ex-husband and told the court that I requested him to do no more work. NOT TRUE, this man is a clown and not worthy of practicing law at all. I took him to arbitration and won, got almost every bit of my retainer back and enjoyed that the arbitrator repremanded him! This man is a Joke, no lie. I represented myself and did a 100% better.
