The Law Office of Gary S. Austin, Esq.

I want to sincerely thank Attorney Gary Austin for standing by me through one of the most difficult periods of my life—a complicated Riverside County divorce. My case involved many difficult issues, including custody, support, domestic violence concerns, and property division. There were times when everything felt overwhelming. Gary never treated me like I was just another case or another client. **He treated me like family. He took the time to listen to me, explain what was happening, calm my concerns, and help me make decisions one step at a time. What I especially appreciated was his honesty and fairness. I never felt overcharged or that unnecessary legal work was being done just to increase my bill. Gary was straightforward with me about what needed to be done, what was worth fighting for, and where my time and money were better spent. That meant a great deal to me during an already stressful time. Gary fought for me when it mattered, but he also kept me focused on the bigger picture—especially my relationship with my son and being able to move forward with my life. His assistant, Cheryl, was wonderful as well. She was responsive, helpful with scheduling and communication, and always made sure my concerns reached Gary. In the end, Gary helped me achieve equal custody time with my son, reduce my support obligation to a fair amount, and finally move forward with a fresh start. I will always be grateful for the way Attorney Gary Austin and his team handled my case—not only professionally, but personally. When I needed an attorney, Gary was there for me like family. I would highly recommend him to anyone facing a difficult divorce or custody matter in Riverside County.

WHAT A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Paid him thousands and thousands of dollars and got little to nothing to show for it. Only spoke to him once in six months and he seemed more interested in keeping my divorce going than settling it. His assistant could not even answer the most basic questions like what is discovery. The only time I really heard from his office was when they would call to ask for more money. I also used his wife's law firm Albright Family Law Group before him and that was a waste of time as well. Now, what should have been a relatively simple process with no minor children or combined assets, has been complicated my incompetence and negligence. Also, check those 5 star reviews, most of them are not actual clients but just one time consultations.

I did a consultation with Gary S. Austin and he was direct, thorough and honest. He gave no promises but he had a strategy that sounded realistic to implement. I would definitely recommend doing a consultation with him.

Gary was very thorough, attentive, and easy to talk to from the beginning. During our first meeting, he took the time to listen carefully, understand the full history of our situation, and review the evidence rather than rushing to conclusions. He explained the legal process, the possible risks, and the strategy for defending the case in a way that was clear and easy to understand. We left the meeting feeling more confident, prepared, and reassured that we had someone who genuinely cared about the case. As the case moved forward, Gary remained focused and prepared. He helped us understand what evidence was important, what to expect in court, and how to present our side of the story effectively. The matter required several court appearances and multiple days of testimony, but Gary stayed committed throughout the process. His preparation, courtroom advocacy, and attention to the details ultimately helped us obtain the result we were seeking. We are grateful for his guidance and would recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney who will listen, prepare carefully, and fight for the best possible outcome.
