Reviews
Did everything he said and was very professional. Very very knowledgeable as well as everyone in the office. Definitely a positive experience
Gary and his team helped me to manage and successfully resolve a multi year civil matter. His patience and professionalism - along with what I considered to be spot on guidance and counsel - were deeply appreciated. I highly recommend Gary and his firm to anyone needing top notch counsel in the Palm Beach County area.
I have worked with Gary Brookmyer for 15 plus years. He has done extensive corporate legal work for our firm and I have always been impressed with his knowledge and results. The scope of the projects have been quite diversified. Real estate, deal making, lawsuits, Gary has always stepped up and done a terrific job.
On a $500,000 breach of contract he failed to enforce the contract concerning the money due me on the death of my cousin. Next, he filed a Motion for Summary Judgment and never even bothered to get a court date! When pressed to do that he simply quit! This took about six months of my wasted time. "Steer Clear" - he's just going to waste your time!
