I was dealing with an horrible ex wife, Parental Alienation, multiple and ongoing false accusations of abuse by my daughters, complete lies aimed at slandering me to the judge, harassment at work, etc... At the point Gary got involved, my relationship with my daughters was gone forever. But Gary restored peace back in my life. And he did some other pretty fantastic things. We have peace and joy back in our life and owe it to Gary. Thank you Gary. Hire this man. He is good.

6 months ago I was in a divorce with only 8 hrs a month offered to see my sons a month. A disabled adult struggling to even keep all court paperwork finished. Gary came into my life and changed my life. The Schlesinger & Strauss firm and all its associates are dedicated to protecting each clients parental rights as if they were protecting their own children. I had gone 528 days without seeing my sons over unproven claims and a horrible divorce. Two weeks in I got to see my sons again at that time its was 1 hour each Saturday, Now 6 months down the road I'm divorced I see my sons half the week and have all my parental rights safe. Righteously they repaired my broken divorce case all while I was on fixed income and the dedication and manpower they did was incredible. Esteemed law ethics and morality which were vigorously utilized along with TRUE EXPERIENCE to help me persevere through my divorce and finally get it settled. I RECOMMEND THEM TO EVERYONE! If you need your rights protected and a titan in the court room then they are who you need they will get the job done and make sure you and your family are reunited. BLESS YOU GARY, MIKE, DEANNA, AND STAFF OF SCHLESINGER & STRAUSS YOU TRULY ARE MIRACLE WORKERS AND I PERSONALLY THANK EACH ONE OF YOU FOR BEING DEDICATED TO LAW AND PRACTICE. IF THERE WERE MORE LAWYERS LIKE YOUR FIRM FAMILIES EVERYWHERE WOULD SUFFER LESS. Your Grateful Client, Gene

Gary was nothing short of amazing. He was very understanding of my situation and provided helpful guidance. Gary was prompt in his responses and always took the time to meet with me and talk through any concerns or questions I had. If you need someone you can trust and wont treat you as a number, then Gary is the Attorney for you!! Thank you, Gary.

Gary was quick, thorough in my curiosity and prompt regarding my inquiry about Petitions for Adjudication for Indirect Criminal Contempt. Seeing a lot of info online, but it's always delightful to see members of the community here chiming in and helping us smaller folks. Burton was another great help. Thanks, guys.

Gary's very knowledgeable, prompt & gave all the info I needed. He's detailed in his responses and I sincerely appreciate the help!

Gary, Michael, & DeAnna, Due to the unexpected death of my beloved mother and running two Covid-19 units I wanted to express a belated Thank you that’s long overdue. Each of you deserve a “shout out” and much gratitude in your roles and participation while working on my case over the years. Your team effort approach is vigilant, knowledgeable and offers no-nonsense representation. Not only is this concept refreshing but your practice offers a full menu of legal services that craft a legal strategy response to maximize personal attention to each client’s unique needs and circumstances. The quality of your services is reflective in your quality outcomes. You set the bar high and become the benchmark of Lake County as evidenced by your community driven service, reputation, and return clientele. To each of you……thank you for protecting my biggest assets…my children. Words can’t express how truly grateful I am. I appreciate each of you and time spent while working on my case.

I had more than one question, initially about child support, but involving DNA and VAP, leading up to medical expenses in retro, visitation and custody. The only attorney that provided me an answer for all and the resources available. Thanks, Gary.

I first hired for my divorce proceedings in September 2016 when my now ex-wife served me papers, which was a bit of a surprise. I hired Gary who jumped in. I followed his instructions and ended with a good and fair settlement in June 2017. After my ex-wife recently reneged on the agreement, Gary’s staff worked to resolve my case at minimal costs. Along the way Gary shared his experiences which was very helpful in a difficult situation. Highly recommended.

Gary and Staff, Over the past 4 years I have used Gary for my divorce that was vacated >30 days (2014-2015), obtained a plenary restraining order (2016) and renewed my plenary restraining order (2018). Gary and his staff handled all of my cases in a very efficient and professional manner. Gary came to court more than prepared for my hearing and bench trial. He was so organized that it made my hearing go smoothly for all parties and the judge to follow along with ease. You and your staff a truly top notch professionals and uphold the true meaning of code of conduct in the courtroom and outside of the courtroom. It’s nice to see integrity, morals and professionalism. You are a true leader in the area of law that many attorneys could learn from and lead by example. I’m proud to call you my attorney and recommend you with highest marks. I’m grateful that my Plenary Order of Protection was renewed another two years based on facts and case law. I can now continue to heal from breast cancer without additional stress from my Ex. Thank you again for all your help and professionalism.

Gary is a very straight forward lawyer and it’s exactly what I needed. He told me what was possible and what was not. At the end of my divorce my ex and I agreed on money and a few days later she wanted more which was above and beyond my legal obligations. He sent a very straight forward email about how things should be. A day later she signed the divorce paper work and we were done. He fought like hell during my nasty divorce. He answered every email quickly and I could always set up an in person meeting if I needed to. I highly recommend Gary and his law firm Schlesinger and Strauss.
