From public service to private practice.
Gary’s work as an attorney follows two decades spent investigating facts, examining evidence and working within the justice system. His law-enforcement career included investigations involving homicide, robbery, domestic violence, sexual battery and property crimes.
He coordinated complex forensic investigations in the United States and internationally, worked with multidisciplinary local and federal teams, and testified in court about forensic investigation techniques. His training also includes human behavior and deception detection.
At GFC LAW, Gary brings that background to his work in marital and family law, domestic violence and criminal defense. He also works with first responders and public-service professionals, drawing on his familiarity with the demands that shift schedules, difficult assignments and family pressures can place on their lives.
