I’ve never dealt with someone more honest than Gary, especially in a New York City environment. Not only was he honest but was also extremely knowledgeable about the contents of my case and even the minor caveats. I would definitely recommend his firm to counsel you. They are very aggressive to get the outcome that you deserve and that you are entitled to.

Mr. Certain represented me on a case. His knowledge of the law and professionalism was beyond my expectations. He was helpful and there for me from the inception of the case to the end. I could not be happier with the results he achieved for me. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Certain is a wonderful attorney. He is dedicated, hard working, honest, and professional. Mr. Certain had been the family's attorney since 1997. Mr. Certain made sure we were aware of the legal aspects of the case at all times. He would keep us abreast of what was happening and what was to come in court. Mr. Certain would make it his priority to take our phone calls during the day and would promptly return phone calls if he was not available. Mr. Certain goes beyond the call of duty for all his clients.
