Client Testimonials:
“Gideon has the rare distinction of being the only lawyer I’ve worked with who is actually worth the hours he bills. Intellectually he’s dexterous and can process a lot of complex information quickly – he won’t waste your time. Additionally, his experience is an asset he can leverage to secure the most favorable outcome for his clients. He also has a good sense of humor, which is oddly comforting if you’re in a position which requires legal services. So, don’t shy away from his price tag – you’ll easily spend more money on a lawyer who is less capable and far more irritating than someone like Gideon.” – Sara
“Gideon helped us with a personal injury claim. He always made us feel informed, explained all aspects of the case and helped us recover damages within a reasonable time. We would absolutely recommend him to others and use him again.” – Leanne, a Personal Injury client
“I would call on Gideon again to help in my legal matters. His knowledge of local case law was helpful. He was very responsive and took the time necessary to explain things as we moved forward with my case. He was fair with his fees and did what he could to make the final outcome a Win-Win for everyone involved.” – Rick, a Car Accident client
