Gail’s experience, steadiness, and professionalism were very much appreciated. As I looked for an attorney, I wanted and needed someone to not back down while taking the fight back to an unrelenting, but undeserving, (ex-) wife. Gail was head and shoulders above the other attorneys that we encountered. She was helpful throughout the ordeal and everything I needed.
I have had very little interaction with any lawyer before my divorce. Gail was personable and pleasant, knowledgeable and careful with how much I was needing to spend. She explained everything well and made a difficult time in my life, less painful. I highly recommend Gail.
Gail Towne is great at what she does. She is consistently professional, assertive and extremely helpful. Gail always took the time to explain every step of the process thoroughly and was extremely patient. I will continue to recommend Gail to others who need a great lawyer on their side.
Gail and her assistant, Nadia , were helpful and responsive to all my questions and concerns. Not sure where I would be without Gail's valuable advice and counsel during my divorce. She was thorough, professional, fearless, smart, candid, strong in the law, easy to talk to and compassionate. Gail is a straight-shooter who tells it like it is ; she kept me in line when I needed reminding , an almost imposable task. My case was complicated - with a non experienced attorney on the other side, which made matters even more difficult , but Gail responded with grace and integrity. She was recommended to me by another attorney , who is highly respected in the profession and does not generally recommend anyone. So , happy I listened – Attorney Towne , is simply amazing , and worth every penny in gold. My girls and I are eternally grateful for her service and I hereby recommend Ms. Towne without reservation.
Gail made a difficult process much less painful by taking care of the legal paperwork and proactively communicating upcoming dates as we worked thru the legal aspects of the case. Responses to all my questions were quick and professional. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, experienced attorney
After being surprised by a divorce request, as devastated as I was, I contacted an attorney recommended to me, and then Gail after online research. At our first meeting, I hired her and am glad I did. She in no nonsense, tells you what to expect, sometimes even when the truth hurts. She kept me in line when I needed reminding, she kept in contact, and worked diligently to get me the very best offer for support as possible. I trusted her judgement, and I m confident that I got more than I might otherwise have. I wanted someone who did not paint the picture unrealistically, someone with experience, someone with knowledge of the system. She has it all, and gave it her all.
With all the chaos that esues during a divorce, Gail offered pragmatic, empathetic and solid advice. I respected her calm demeanor and guidance during times when I personally felt the complete opposite. Her follow up was diligent and her strategy always kept my personal interests in the top priority. I would not have been as successful as I was had it not been for Gail.
Hands down the best family law attorney! I am so glad to have put my trust in her in a very difficult time in my life. She is focused, methodical, professional, warm and very bright. She called everything right. I am so glad I took her advice and had her in my corner during my divorce, even when there were things I did not want to hear, I knew she still had my interests at heart all along the way. Will not refer to anyone else, but Gail!
I am very happy I had Gail Towne represent me. She is thorough, candid, strong in the law, and easy to talk to. Quick of mind. A true advocate. I am even happier I was not opposite her in court.
I asked several attorneys that I know for recommendations for a divorce attorney. Gail's name was included by all. I almost did not go see her because she charges a fee for her consultations, so I visited another that gave a free consultation. I left pretty confused, so I went to see Gail and was so glad that I did. It was well worth it. She really knows what she is doing. She answered all of my questions, but most importantly, asked me what my interests and priorities were to help determine next steps. She gave me some recommendations and "homework" and we worked on ideas for a plan. She also helped me to feel less confused and afraid of the whole process. Selecting a divorce attorney is not an easy decision, especially during such a difficult time. Divorce is not easy, of course. I am very pleased that I was referred to her and ultimately made this right choice in selecting an attorney.
