Gary Kendell, Esq.
“I engaged Gary as counsel for a legal matter. There were several firms that advertised a flat fee, but Gary did not. In the end, I trusted Gary. His counsel and insight were invaluable and helped me bring the matter to a successful close. While I did spend a little more to work with Gary, I felt it was well spent.”
