I will admit that I am a difficult client. I am hard headed, quick tempered, fast to act, and I think I know better. Gary worked with me through my two plus year divorce even though I am that difficult client. He talked me through different issues, gave me options and sage advice. We got the result we were looking for. Gary is a smart, seasoned lawyer that will give you good advice in a timely manner. He put up with all my BS, but got me through my divorce. For that, I will be ever thankful.

Mr. Gottfried handled my case for three years now. My son’s mom filed to reduce my time, which we had 50/50 for the last seven years before she filed. Meeting with Mr. Gottfried for the first time I knew he was my guy. He is very prompt in returning calls and e-mails and I can say this promptness has not dropped the slightest over the last three years (even on his days off). He made sure when the trial date finally came that we had everything lined up to negate everything she filed plus things that could come up in trial so we were ready to present them to fight. He makes sure you are prepared for any questions and have evidence to back you up. We have gone through a magistrate appeal and now seven more months later it is looking like she will appeal the judge’s decision. Not only did Mr Gottfried have a rebuttal for all of her bogus claims, we actually asked for an additional over night to which it was granted. When this is dragged out over three years so far, there are times to which you question yourself. Mr Gottfried would reassure me and talk me down from those times. He is honest with you, some attorneys are there to collect a check, but not him. He gave me his opinion when I asked, based off his career in these cases, but also said it’s up to you Brad. I cannot say enough about him or give him the praise he deserves. I have referred friends to him because he is the best…period! If you are in need of an attorney for custody cases, call him. You will not be disappointed, trust me.

Gary represented me phenomenally as an expert witness, he was highly astute and Incredibly cognizant and professional. Although my case ended before it went to trial I felt that his contributions made a huge impact and I was so thankful to have received his services, he would be the first person I go to if I find myself in that situation again.

I had a consultation with Gary based on the recommendation of a friend. I was using another attorney and was making no progress with my divorce. The advice I had been receiving was not clear or direct. Gary boiled everything down to basic facts and set realistic expectations. His strategic advice led to me being able to negotiate a dissolution agreement with my ex in a very short period of time. As an attorney myself, I was impressed with Gary's approach and would recommend him to anyone who asks.

Gary was with me for every step of my journey. He helped me with all my dumb question’s and with all my concerns. Not at one time did he ever put me on the back burner. He always made me feel like I was the only client he had. Even though I know I wasn’t. Sometimes he would just talk to me just to see how I was doing. To assure me that things would get better and that he had my back. You don’t find that much now a day in people, let alone in an attorney.

Gary is an outstanding Attorney! He fought hard for me during my divorce and I ended up getting a successful outcome when it was done. He's detailed, friendly and knows the law. His staff is excellent! If you need an Attorney that will fight for you, please contact him. Highly recommended!!

My ex-wife is Japanese and living in Japan. Gary was able to bring my case to a successful conclusion, in spite of the fact that we were in the middle of a global pandemic and my wife was uncooperative.

I came to Gary on referral from another trusted attorney. Gary is a straight shooting, no bs and highly skilled family law attorney. Gary and his team brought my matter to completion on terms that were materially better than expected.

I really appreciated Gary’s honesty with me during my divorce process. My case was messy and long and he was patient and never failed to do his best to make sure the outcome was as fair as possible for me. Moments when I wanted to give up, he pushed me to fight for myself. In the end, I always listened to him and it was always worth it. He’s very smart, to the point, organized and just plain good at what he does.

Mr. Gottfried is most likely the best lawyers I have ever dealt with. He is trusting, compassionate, and cares about his clients and will help them in any way that he can. I highly recommend him as a lawyer for any need. Thank you Mr. Gottfried for all that you've done to help me, when I did not know where else to turn.

Gary is not only your attorney but a friend when these hard situations arise. He will advise you of what is in your best interests and also listen to the path you want to take through your dissolution or divorce. I am so glad I hired him!

I had a situation where my marriage was considered void due to having a previous existing undissolved marriage. At the time I got married to wife number 2 I thought I was already divorced from wife number 1 who lives overseas. I had received faulty information and realized shortly after getting remarried that I was a bigamist. I was scared and hastily arranged a divorce on my own without legal help from wife number 1. I did not realize that marriage to wife number 2 was considered void even after obtaining a divorce from wife number 1. This was in 1992. Fast forward 28 years and before submitting Social Security retirement application I checked around and realized that my second marriage was technically invalid. I was scared and depressed once again. A couple other law firms said that, indeed, my second marriage was void. I called Gary Gottfreid after another firms receptionist said he may be able to help my situation due to his experience with international law. I am glad I did. He was able to get my second marriage validated as of the date of my divorce from wife number 1. He succeeded where others said it couldn't be done! Gary is a fine attorney with many years of experience which he will put to good use to resolve your legal issues. I cant say enough good about him!
