We secured Gary's service to protect our rights and our family from CPS, an agency who I found shows no respect for the law or our rights as citizens. Normally you would think you wouldn't have to get a lawyer if you were not in the wrong. Unfortunately that is not the case and this agency threatened us and tried to manipulate us several times throughout their "investigation". We were told they wanted access to our home to search for weapons and that we would need to answer all of their questions or risked having our four children taken from the home. This all was over my 15 year old son getting in a fight with another kid from school resulting in a black eye. Long story short Gary shut them down with his knowledge of the law and experience dealing with their corrupt tactics. I truly feel sorry for the low income families that this CPS agency clearly takes advantage of.

Mr. Preble listened to my case and seemed to know instinctively that the allegations against me were ridiculous and unfounded. There can be nothing worse than a CPS allegation. Mr. Preble seemed to intuitively understand the failures of such a system (CPS) and demonstrated consistent and an unwavering support of our rights as parents and as a nuclear family. Mr. Preble was accessible and explained each step of the process in terms that we could understand, avoiding too much legalese. He was respectful of cost. He demonstrated professionalism. He infused humor to ease the anxiety. He provided reassurance to help us navigate one of the most torturous experiences we have ever had to endure. Mr. Preble's staff were knowledgeable. They always provided answers to our questions and always made us feel welcome. We prevailed against CPS. We are so grateful to Mr. Preble for taking our case and seeing us through the process with grace, faith and dignity.

Mr. preble, is the lawyer I hired to defend my case against the state in a CPS allegation and subsequent appeal,he was kind courteous and understanding with all of the various details and strings of evidence related to the matter. He was willing to work with my unusual work schedule being in the military. He was clear concise and upfront in all of our dealings. I would with out hesitation recommend him for any legal matter that you may be facing. Without his work I would be struggling too have time with my children. He has been a great asset to me and my family and is willing to work and fight for my rights as a father he has my strongest possible recommendation.

Gary Preble represented my company and Ministry and a family matter with CPS that I doubt anyone else would’ve touched. This case had huge implications for us and Gary succeeded beyond our expectations and is absolutely fearless even in a David and Goliath situation. He was totally sympathetic to our faith and our feelings and our finances. He’s definitely the man you want in the trenches with you when you’re back is up against the wall.

I called to obtain his services and an appointment was set, which they cancelled on me 1 day prior to going to court and left me holding the bag. Obviously, with no time to seek out another attorney I ended up going to court without council. That tells me he doesn't give a damn about people,...all they said is they were sorry. Well his sorry didn't do much if anything for me in court.

I have used Gary in the past he worked out well for me I have recommended him to tons of people before . Never ever again !! I retained Gary recently for a parenting plan and have a child support order filed he charged over $6,000 dollars accomplished nothing never got child support filed in his Attorney fee agreement his hourly rate is $250 and his paralegal is $125 an hour I was told his paralegal Would be handling most all the documents , perfect I thought . Every time I talked to his paralegal trish she would always say she didn’t know what was going on and hadn’t been updated on the case and I always got the same old , same old line from them that Gary was working on far more important cases but they sure enjoyed my $6,000 plus checks. Most all the billing from the office was his full hourly rate not paralegal rate rip off ,his office staff is not on point when they send out billing statements they sent me another one of there clients statements with there address and all makes me wonder if they sent mine to another client . In the temporary parenting plan before it went into court the opposing party agreed to have something removed that was important to me , he went into court not 10 minutes later never lined it out and submitted it to the court . I noticed it later Gary said it was his fault and would take care of it. He never took care of it and trying to deal with it he charged me for his mistake around $600 dollars very unreliable and it cost me more with my future lawyer to have it removed . If you value your dollar you will choose another attorney .I was told by 3 other lawyers I talked to about his performance that day in the court room was that he caused me a lot of extra work and grief and a lot more money and he’s not respected in the county and the judge was not impressed .I retained another lawyer paid 4,000 she got my child support filed in 2 weeks and parenting plan done with $800 dollars coming back to me and everything’s finalized and good now .I wasn’t going to write a review however was encouraged to so people can be aware of the possible extra grief there gonna deal with if they become clients of his.

Mr. Preble represented me in a family law matter and the appeal of same. We won our appeal and the outcome of the Superior Court Case was in my favor. He is very busy with Court and sometimes cannot be reached right away, but he always returned my phone calls. His associate attorneys and staff is very helpful and knowledgeable also. I would use Gary Preble for any further legal needs and recommend him to my friends and family.

In 2006 Mr. Preble agreed to file a lawsuit on behalf of my husband and myself. We spent hours in his office, actually typing and labeling some of the court docs myself. A few weeks later he stopped responding to our calls and emails. We simply never heard from him or his associate Kristin again. Since we had moved from Washington by that time we were unable to go to his office directly. I would never recommend an attorney that would just quit responding after agreeing to file a lawsuit on your behalf.
