While our transaction was real estate which is not typically of his practice...my experience with Gary was impressive to say the least and I would absolutely hire him again. He is decisive, follows thru on his word and is a real go getter... hiring him and his firm will get you the results that you are looking for...

I am very pleased with Jodat Law Firm. I had a custody suite and they helped me. I felt confident my issue would be resolved fairly. The staff was very kind and helpful. I would use this law firm again. I like having a team of lawyers behind me.

I was involved in a premise liability matter shortly after having my son. Jodat Law Group went above and beyond to make sure I was not inconvenienced, was able to make all doctors appointments and worked around my first-time mommy schedule. They were there whenever I had a question, needed reassurance or just wanted more information. Both the attorney and the support staff were always pleasant to deal with and put me at ease.

Gary helped me when I was in a very serious bind. They eased my mind and walked me through the legal steps. Confidence, professionalism, and fair rates. I recommend this firm to anyone that's needs an attorney.
