    - Jul 31 2023 I didn't even end up needing Garys services, yet he took the time to pick up the phone himself and give me advice on a tenant landlord dispute. If I ever do need representation, it will most definitely be with Gary. Thank you Gary

  • Fern Hammond

    - Nov 15 2018 I have had many of my clients represented by Gary in Real Estate transactions as well as litigation regarding real estate issues of many types. Gary is a champion. He is an extremely talented attorney - smart , creative and "on the case". When he is representing my clients I know he can handle any problem that arises and that is extremely important to me since even a seemingly simple transaction can develop serious problems that Gary is able to handle from start to finish since he is an experienced litigator who I have personally watched litigate in court. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

    - Aug 17 2018 Ethical, responsible, careful.

  • Michael Corley

    - Aug 17 2018 Gary represented our firm when few would make time. Small businesses are not on most law firms radar but our real estate brokerage got Fortune 500 treatment from Gary Wachtel. He provided important guidance and outlined a litigation strategy that best represented our claim in court. We were definitely in unfamiliar territory as a boutique firm that found itself in the unenviable position of suing for unpaid compensation during the economic recession in 2007. And just when we thought we should stop pursuing our claim in court, Gary assured us of its validity. In a former life I imagined myself becoming an attorney. Gary is the tireless, capable advocate I would have hoped to become. Having a respected, accomplished counselor at law is important for businesses of all size, especially if you're running a real estate brokerage. Gary Wachtel meets and exceed those expectations. And you couldn't ask for a better advocate on your behalf.

    • Gary Wachtel

    - Jun 22 2018 Gary did an outstanding job for us in successfully litigating, winning, relentlessly pursuing, and collecting from a home improvement contractor who defrauded us performed shoddy work which required significant remediation. Over a five year period of time, Gary never gave up on our claim. He filed motions in court and pursued the defendant with vigor. We would always go to Gary for our litigation needs and recommend him to our family and friends.

I've worked with him on matters ranging from landlord & tenant cases, suing for possession and arrears to commission disputes, where Mr. Wachtel was successful in litigating the matter. Mr. Wachtel also has a special skill in reducing or vacating fines that various city agencies levy on my properties. He's currently my exclusive L&T attorney for over 2 million square feet of commercial property.

  • Rick Wilfong

    - Jun 19 2018 Gary was willing to help me with a relatively small case. He always communicated quickly and got the outcome I needed. I suspect he ended up having to spend a little more time than he planned, but he never sent me an invoice for more than he quoted. Really happy I found Gary. I highly recommend him.

  • M. T.

He has successfully represented our mutual clients regarding their commercial office leases, along with building ownerships that my firm provides the leasing and management for. He always gives you 100{cbbf165febdb5c9e7382d0ea2260dd38549f33437b67133716bb132863876b24} and takes pride in his work!!!
