Testimonials:

 

I solicited Gary Desper's assistance with a criminal matter. Gary and his team are the penultimate professionals. Concerned, caring, personable, and professionally highly ethical, responsible, and reliable. Gary was very specific about what I faced and asked me to depend on him to navigate my case through court. And he did..expertly!!! I was so satisfied with Gary and his team, my wife and I asked Gary to prepare our wills and medical directives. Again, he quickly and professionally prepared and executed our documents, even filing them with the County Register of Wills. I will definitely use Gary's services in the future and highly recommend The Law Offices of Gary Desper for your legal needs!!!

A close family member found themselves facing a number of serious criminal charges. We engaged Mr. Desper and he was very thorough in his review of the circumstances and the mitigating factors that contributed to the situation. He was able to put us in contact with a number of outside parties that were able to assist in assessing the root cause of the situation and help develop a path moving forward. He also made several recommendations of proactive measures that were looked favorably upon by the Court. With Mr. Desper’s guidance, we were able to procure the most favorable outcome possible, in light of the situation. Mr. Desper took the time to connect on a personal level and to get to know us, thereby, aiding us in this time of high stress and uncertainty. I would highly recommend Mr. Desper to anyone in need of solid legal counsel in the future.

I had an amazing experience working with Mr. Desper with my felony theft case. He answered all questions and concerns I had at all times and made this process very smooth for me. He was professional, respectful to me and my family, organized, and compassionate. I would 100% call Mr. Desper again if I needed anymore legal work done. I would highly recommend using Mr. Desper to anyone looking for a 5 star lawyer at an affordable rate. Thank you Gary!

Gary Despar is efficient and professional. Of course that's what every attorney had to be to pass the Bar. Gary is a genuinely friendly man with a warm and considerate heart. He doesn't put on an act about how he's going to solve your problem, he actually does care. In my particular case, the maximum sentence included up to 25 years in jail for the charges! I had no previous record and have always respected the law, so these charges were almost too much for me to even comprehend where this might go....having never been arrested for anything before, the entire process was frightening. Gary took the case, and all charges are now dismissed. Needless to say, I highly recommend him. But more than just that, he really is a nice man and I walked away from the whole mess feeling as though I just made a new friend.

Gary and Dawn are a wonderful team! I am so thankful for the amazing service and peace of mind I had in working with them. My son was falsely accused of a criminal act of which he did not commit and was arrested and charged with serious crimes. After meeting with Mr. Desper and giving him the facts in this case he quickly realized that the charges should be dropped and they were even before the Pre-trial hearing!

I recived my first DUI in Feb., I was ashamed, embarrassed, scared and had no idea what to do. It was a huge mistake that went against everything I stand for and I was more than grateful no one was hurt. After tons of research on lawyers I chose Mr. Desper to meet with. I had no idea what to expect.

From the first moment, I felt comfortable with him. He listened to the incident, gave me a full overview of what was to expect and how to begin correcting my error in judgement. He spent so much time with easing my worries yet still being fully honest of the law and different scenarios of the outcome. He made sure he knew how important it was I follow the guidelines of recovery in order for a judge to see my committment to bettering myself.

I left his office feeling relief and confident he would represent me in the best manner possible along with my dedication to following instruction of rehab, recovery, etc.
Throughout this time, he communicated with me reguarly and was incredibly prompt at any and all updates I needed.

I trust Gary 100%. I even had questions about a seperate family issue and he advised me on it immediately.

When court came I was nervous but I felt a million times better knowing I had such a pillar of the community beside me. He truly worked hard to make sure the judge KNEW of my regret and shame about the DUI combined with the months of work I had done to come back from this.

All in all, the judge was kind to me. This was my first (and last) DUI, so that it important to the judge. He listened to Mr. Desper, the counselor from a recovery center (Gary requested he come and it for sure was a wonderful testament of my work) and read every letter written about me from past employers, etc.
I know this would not have been the outcome with a lawyer that did not know the law so well and really knew how to show the true character of his clients.

Mr. Desper made a scary and painful process so seamless and smooth that I did not stress about court, I was able to use that time to positively change my behaviors and commit to self reflection and recovery. That was a priceless gift I am so thankful for.

If you need a lawyer, he is so caring and focused on his clients that you really trust his intention, expertise and overall process of communication.

Also, his right hand secretary, Dawn, is amazing. She truly is committed to each client with the same vigor and genuine care as Gary is. They make such an effective team and both have an incredible attention to detail. It really makes you know you are in the most capable hands!
