Gary Desper and his associates are top notch! They helped my parents get organized with their estate and wills. They also did power of attorneys for their finances and healthcare. Best part is that they will come to you! I would highly recommend the Desper Law group for all of your Elder Law needs.

My husband and I were looking for an attorneys office who would draft a will for us in a timely and cost-effective manner. We decided to give Gary Despers office a try because the testimonials on their website were positive and glowing. I cant say enough how grateful we are for their services! From the beginning, the conversation with their executive assistant, Michelle, was easy and comfortable. Sitting down with Gary for our will interview was informative and helpful! We really appreciated his thought process in guiding us to make the best decisions for ourselves and our family. The price for everything was exactly what we were looking for and is less expensive than most other firms in the area. (Believe me, I called around and checked!) After the will interview, he drafted up the documents quickly and we were given time to review them and change anything that we wanted to. We had clarifying questions that were answered right away. The will signing day was a happy one, with the comfort and peace of mind in knowing that were doing what Gary would say is the best gift you can give to yourselves, and it truly is! Gary Desper and his team felt like family to us, and thats how a business should be run. Look no further than this office!

Gary has been an excellent choice for a lawyer. I used him for a court case in Carroll County where his office is also located. He helped me navigate the court system and had me beyond prepared for my court date. Both his knowledge of the law and his familiarity with the judges is outstanding.Gary does not waste either your or his time. He is very up front and will provide a reasonable expectation of the outcome. I am pleased with how my trial concluded.I will continue to enlist Garys services as needed in the future.

Writing a will and putting ones affairs in order is never really a pleasant activity. Mr. Desper and his staff made this process smooth and comfortable. Mr. Desper was incredibly patient with us throughout the process. He was compassionate and took his time to explain everything. He was attentive to our needs and listened carefully to what we wanted. He guided us through the process beautifully. We highly recommend Mr. Desper and his staff for any legal work you require when putting your affairs in order. Thank you Mr. Desper and staff.

I recently hired Mr. Desper to represent me in a criminal matter, it was a serious offence and by no means my first. He initially gave me instruction on what I needed to do to prepare for court and I followed his instructionexactly and then some. I asked plenty of questions in the months prior to court and they were always followed up with honest answers and good advice. the day before Court we met and discussed my case in detail.Mr. Desper and his staff fought hard for me, highlighting my accomplishments and delivering in such a way that the Court in my viewwere compelled to be fair with the sentenceThat being said, the outcome of my case was much better than I expected. I went home on my court day and back to my job the next day.I have probation to answer to for awhile but the alternative was much worse.

When an otherwise private family matter was vaulted into the legal system by the ill-conceived plans of a close relative, I needed a lawyer fast! I assumed the process meant things would drag out for months and destroy my reputation, but Gary and his team immediately invested their knowledge and resources to resolve a complex legal situation in a matter of days. I am fortunate to have found the most respected legal professional in the state of MD and I highly doubt the average attorney could achieve what the Desper team just did on my behalf. While this situation began as a nightmare, the end result was an absolute blessing. Thank you!

I was very pleased with the prompt and professional service I received from the Desper Law Group. Mr. Desper and Mr. Peterson took the time to listen to the details of my situation and to understand my goals. They ran with the ball from there and took care of everything. I was more than happy with the results they obtained. I wouldnt hesitate to retain their services in the future. Thank you for a job well done !

Desper Law Group is an absolutely incredible firm! I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal advice or representation. Mr. Desper handled my divorce five years ago and I have come to him with every legal-related question since then. With tact, incredible communication, and understanding of my goals, Mr. Desper was beyond successful in representing my best interests, as well as achieving more than I could have hoped. Mr. Desper is a man of integrity, and I cannot convey the sense of peace that brings during a tumultuous time. Mr. Despers associates are wonderful as well! I highly recommend Gary and I will absolutely be using Desper Law Group in the future for any more legal questions!

We were working with Gary Desper from across the country, a seemingly difficult situation to start with. But Gary handled it all with good humor and professionalism, not to mention efficiency. It was a nuanced situation, not a typical procedure, and it involved three different parties. Gary was able to make everyone feel comfortable and he got the job done quickly and painlessly. Though I havent met him, he seems to have a lot of personal integrity and a strong moral compass. I would certainly go to him first in any future legal matters that take me to Maryland.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mr Desper and his team on a couple cases. They were always very responsiveness to all of my needs. No matter how busy Mr Desper may have been he never pushed my cases to the side regardless of how big or small they were. Gary, Brandon, and his front desk associates were very professional from start to finish and always looked out for my best interests. I really appreciate everything they’ve done for me and I will recommend Mr Desper to family and friends if they are in need of an attentive, fair, and hardworking attorney.

Gary Desper, Esquire and I worked together on a step-parent adoption. Mr. Desper represented the minor child, while I represented the step-parent.Throughout all communication and discussion regarding the case, Mr. Desper was professional, thorough and responsive. I know from my contact with the family, that he made the minor child feel at ease. While a hearing can be nerve racking, even when it is a happy occasion, he gave clarity and support to the minor child so that the child felt comfortable and understood the process.He and his office assisted in the drafting of the appropriate wordng for the Adoption Order to be submitted to Carroll County Circuit Court. He also allowed all parties to participate in the remote hearing from his office. Mr. Desper is an ally when working together on a case. I would HIGHLY recommend him as an attorney and advocate.

This review is a little late, but it afforded me time to provide a truly accurate review with results!!Gary helped me with an employer issue in 2014 (I wrote a review for that as well, 5 stars if you are having issues with your employer) and that had a phenomenal outcome. Because of that experience I decided to start my own company.In April of 2018 Gary helped me form my company (by help, I mean he did everything and all I had to do was sign). From articles of incorporation to operating agreement and even referring me to a highly rated and trusted accountant.Because of the quality of the operating agreement, legally the company is air tight. Along with that and other legal advice, the company has grown exponentially. We landed our first job in January of 2019 (after spending the first 8 months organizing everything) and in 12 months we have generated $1.2 Million in revenue, and legally thanks to Gary.I have to say without a doubt Gary is the best from starting a company, to protecting the company and even protecting the companys employees. He knows Marylands system very well from working in it and his navigation of the system truly shows.

I am extremely grateful to the Gary Desper Law Office and would recommend them to everyone needing an attorney. Mr. Desper has the knowledge, experience, and perseverance you need to be on your side. He takes the time to explain, helps you to decide on solutions, and be proactive with your legal needs. He provides you with a plan of action to follow and genuinely cares about all of his clients. There is no other that I would trust with such important matters! Gary Desper’s office assistants are very helpful as well. Questions and concerns that you may have are answered promptly. He will definitely find the best result for you!

After being hit by a vehicle, yes pedestrian accident, I was truly at a lose as to what to do. My family repeatedly told me to get a lawyer, by I had no clue as to who to go to, or trust.I found Mr. Desper and from the moment we sat down to talk about my case all my worries went away. He listened intently, explained the law repeatedly, was caring, insightful, and made sure that I got what was fair.If you need a lawyer Gary Desper is heads above the rest, and is a man of conviction that will fight to ensure you are cared for from beginning to end.Thank you so very much Gary and team!

Worth every last dollar. Gary and Dawn are a dynamic, collaborative team who work tirelessly to ensure their clients receive the best possible outcome. I made my initial contact on a Monday holiday, and, even though the office was closed, Dawn returned my call within the hour, sensing the urgency of my request. Gary is organized, proactive, and highly experienced in his craft. He is compassionate and has a sense of humor that provides welcome respite in times of acute stress. It is clear that he is well-respected among his colleagues, as well as by the community authorities. I endorse his services without hesitation and am grateful, beyond words, for his counsel.

Gary and his staff are an amazing Law Firm to work with. My husband was adopting my son and unfortunately court was scheduled during the time of shut downs during a pandemic. Gary’s office continued to work to get us a date, constantly kept us appraised of what was going on and would not only email us but also call to ensure we got the email. They were always quick to answer if we had called with a question and were always helpful, they never made us feel like we were bothering them. Gary made things happen and followed through with the utmost professionalism while at the same time not making us feel like just another case. When our adoption turned virtual since the courts were still not open, Gary even opened his office to us to do the adoption hearing there. We couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to represent our son in our adoption hearing.

I give Gary Desper a 5 +++++. I was completely at ease the moment I walked in his office door. The staff was so friendly, helpful and professional. I went to Mr Desper to update my wills and had some concerns about how to deal with some family issues. He was kind, compassionate and explained what would be in my best interest. When the Will was ready to be sign, he went over every detail of the Will to be sure I was satisfied. His knowledge and guidance are impressive. I did not at any time feel rushed and felt all the questions were answered. I left feeling he really cares about his clients. I would highly recommend Mr Desper to my family, friends and anyone who is seeking legal council.

Mr. Desper provided excellent legal support throughout the settlement of my divorce. In most legal situations when you need an attorney you can trust, it is a very stressful time and difficult to make sound decisions under those kinds circumstances. But my experience through it all turned out quite favorably and that was due to none other than Mr. Despers superb legal work and advice.Mr. Desper was patient, explained everything, and always made me feel as though I was his most important client. He was always responsive and prompt. He has integrity, common sense, and is practical in handling whatever your legal needs may be.In difficult legal situations its hard to know who to turn to and/or whom to trust. I was fortunate to have Mr. Desper represent me and I have come to trust him explicitly. I am very grateful for everything he did to help me. You truly cannot fine a better attorney to turn to when in need.

I solicited Gary Despers 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 Garys services in the future and highly recommend The Law Offices of Gary Desper for your legal needs!!!

I had a legal issue arise out of the blue, which in my opinion happened to be very unique. I reached out to Mr. Desper seeking counsel and he agreed to take on my case. He proceeded to do so with professionalism, dedication, honesty and always willing to to explain things openly to me as I am not as in tune with legal terms and concepts. He treated my case as a priority in my eyes. He never let anything slip. I always felt he was one step ahead of me, which is nice as he was representing me. There were some struggles during my 9 month case and Mr. Desper was never afraid to grab the bull by the horns. ALWAYS felt confident having him in my corner and I cannot express that enough! His receptionist Dawn, was a key component in my case in communicating phone conversations, appointments, and organizing documents. I cannot thank Mr. Desper enough for assisting me the way he did! None of us want to go in blind when it comes to legal matters that come up, but if they do, I highly recommend Mr. Desper for anyone seeking legal counsel.

My experience with Gary has inspired me to write my first online review.Throughout the entirety of my ordeal, Gary and his Executive Assistant, Dawn, kept my mind at ease. Despite their busy workload, they were always available to assist me and keep me up to date on every little detail. Everything was explained to me in a way that was perfectly understandable. Gary and Dawn are both very personable people and genuinely pleasant to be around.Should I find myself in conflict again, I will, without doubt, reach out to Gary! I cannot recommend him enough!

If I could leave 10 stars I would! Gary is amazing, more like a magician. He is able to pull rabbits from his hat, yet quite a bit more professional. His demeanor is extremely pleasant, he is very intelligent, and he genuinely cares for his clients, and their case. Gary was able to get me no jail time for a 3rd DUI. This is unheard of! Im so appreciative my Mother chose him to represent me. He is very communicative, prompt, and eager to please. I would recommend him to anyone I know needing ANY legal services. I cant say enough how wonderful of an experience I have had working with him, and how grateful to the time and efforts he put in my case. His legal secretary/paralegal Dawn was so sweet, and accommodating. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mr. Gary Desper!

Mr. Desper is a beyond amazing lawyer. You never want to find yourself in a situation that needs a lawyer, but if you do, look no further. Mr. Desper assisted my husband and I with a Step-parent adoption of my daughter. I was always hesitant about lawyers but Mr. Desper put all of my worries and fears aside. What proved to be a difficult case he handled with expert knowledge. He always kept us appraised of any changes to our case, and his prices were very reasonable and allowed us to do some of the work on our own to keep the price within our budget. Mr. Desper or his office assistant Dawn were always available to answer any question and were quick to return a call or email. During trial he always had honesty and integrity and above all followed the rule of law. I would recommend Mr. Desper to anyone I know and definitely use him in the future should I ever need legal services. I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Desper, and I am forever thankful for him uniting my family!

I found Mr. Desper to be very warm and personable, and he was very patient and willing to answer any questions that my wife and I had.

During my DUI case, I was represented by attorney Gary Desper. From our initial consultation, he was extremely knowledgeable in preparing me for the steps necessary during this process.

I was extremely happy with his services and the verdict that was reached which happened to be six months shorter than any other DUI case in court that day.

My family and I have been so grateful to find an attorney like Gary Desper. We Googled attorneys in Carroll County and then read reviews of their service. Gary won, hands-down. He has earned all the five star ratings we read. It was a pleasure to find Gary like an old friend, as opposed to a clients whom he never met. Gary was genial and sensitive to our particular needs. We never felt rushed or like a dollar sign in our discussions. It is easy to feel intimidated by attorneys who feel self-important and in great demand, but not with Gary. Not only is Gary personable, but his professional skill and knowledge is laudable. He made sure that each of us had a clear understanding of the process and our decisions. We are happy that, with Gary, we were able to resolve several different legal issues that could have potentially resulted in our seeking a few different lawyers. While our first legal resource in Carroll County was a blind choice, we wont make that kind of decision again. Considering all the costly errors we could have made, Gary Desper was NOT a mistake...he is our best, first choice!

I just wanted to take a few moments to share my experiences in reference to Gary Desper and his office as a whole. I had a personal situation occur back in August and while reviewing lawyers and law offices in the Westminster area, I came across the page of Gary Desper. After reading his reviews, I made the decision to call his office to seek help. His assistant was very prompt and helpful and received my information, as Mr. Desper was with another client. I was scheduled to see him the following day. I was extremely emotional due to the circumstances, but Mr. Desper was able to explain all of my options and possible outcomes and even handed me a box of Kleenex and stated, Youre going to be ok and I will be with you through your this process every step of the way. Just hearing those words placed my nerves at ease and I knew I was in good hands. I was able to call Mr. Desper at any time with questions or concerns and he was always extremely prompt and informative. There was never a moment of concern. In addition, Mr. Desper is well known throughout the court systems in Carroll County. His efforts, hard work and focus on me as an individual and not just a client or case was something I truly needed. I would highly recommend and refer anyone needing legal help or advice to the law office of Gary Desper. With his help, I was able to get the best possible outcome and owe him several thanks for everything he did for me.

We had Gary Desper prepare our Wills and other associated documents a few years back. Recently we needed to update those documents. Gary is professional, thorough and helpful. He also advised us regarding a property question and we were grateful for his advice because he presented us with a viable and simple solution. We always recommend Gary when friends are seeking legal help, because we know he can be trusted.

A few months back I was looking for a lawyer, I needed someone with a good reputation, someone who not only did his or her job but CARED for their clients. I came across Mr.Desper and I was not disappointed. He was not only gentle but forthcoming of my options. I cried in his office numerous occasions and to my surprise he was sympathetic and relatable. As a sensitive single mom he understood what a hard situation I was in. I never felt rushed out of the office and he took his time explaining all of my questions and concerns. He truly went out of his way to make sure I have had the best outcome in every situation and I couldnt thank him enough. Gary is hardworking, on top of his game and a great man. If youre looking for someone to represent you I HIGHLY recommend him. His secretary has also been polite and kind with each and every phone call/visit. Five stars Gary, thank you!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Desper Law Offices on a Will & POA package for my ailing Mother In Law. Mr Desper and his team were kind, knowledgeable and incredibly patient as we navigated the process. With just one consultation, Mr Desper captured my MIL’s wishes and presented us with a draft in a matter of days. Review and approval was equally efficient and we completed the process within 3 weeks of reaching out to seek help.When Mom passed away, Gary handled settling her estate for us, including the sale of a house with help from an excellent realtor he works with. Again, his team was professional, knowledgeable and kind and helped make a difficult process easy for the family.I would highly recommend Desper Law Offices. Mr Desper and his team are simply the best!

Im writing this review because Gary not only took my temp custody case at such a short notice, he explained to me what my options were and what I could do in the future. To help me later on, on the long term custody case. Unfortunately under my circumstances I had to give in a little but Gary helped me focus and did plenty in our negotiations.Which at the end I thought was reasonable from what my ex was wanting. Thanks again Gary!

We had an excellent experience with Mr. Desper. He worked very hard to get us a decision that everyone would be happy with especially his client. He didnt give up when something didnt go as planned. He kept going forward. Another excellent aspect was he treated us like friends and truly wanted to help. Every message that I left received an answer very quickly. I would highly recommend Mr. Desper for any attorney needs that you may have and will definitely hire him if we need anything else in the future.

I highly recommend Gary Desper to anyone who is in need of legal services. He is honest, trustworthy, and full of knowledge. I was completely overwhelmed before I met with him, but when I walked out of his office I felt a huge weight off my shoulders because I knew he was able to handle my situation. He is upfront about what to expect and keeps it frank, which shows he is not the type of lawyer who is just trying to make money off of you. He truly cares for his clients and I felt secure and understood the whole time. He was professional and efficient in his work, and prepared. I will continue to use Gary for the rest of my legal needs. Im very thankful I was able to find him.

Mr. Desper is a wonderful attorney and person. I hired Mr. Desper to assist me with a highly contested divorce and custody case and hiring him was the best decision I have ever made. His communication, knowledge and professionalism could not be any better. During the long process I felt like I was his only client and never had any doubt that he was the one for the job. If I ever need an attorney in the future I will not hesitate one bit to hire him again. There really is not enough good I can type here about Mr. Desper, if you need an attorney hire him and you will know how I feel. Dawn is awesome too!

Gary helped guide me through through the separation process and really did an excellent job of looking out for my best interests and the interests of my children. He was very thorough and the marriage settlement agreement that I have is something I am very happy with. Through his counsel I was able to avoid a court battle and save tens of thousands of dollars.

We had the great pleasure of working with Gary Desper on our wills, health care agents, and POA. Gary was very warm and engaging, and answered all of our questions. He made the legalities easy to understand, and we were very comfortable with him. We feel like we made a friend, along with finding a very capable attorney. His assistant Dawn was a pleasure to deal with, as well. I will be recommending Gary to our local friends here in Westminster. He is certainly an asset to our community.

I needed an attorney to offer legal advice on a rent issue. I contacted Gary Desper and set up an appointment to go over all of the information regarding the matter. I found Gary to be an excellent listener who has given me good advice on how this particular matter should be handled. There was not a lot of “Here, let me handle this and I can bill you” but rather a common sense approach often lacking in many professionals. I felt comfortable dealing with Gary and did not feel he was out to “nickel and dime” me on every issue. Because both my husband and I felt so at ease with Gary, we retained him to do our estate work which was handled quickly and efficiently. I now feel that I have found an attorney that I can be comfortable with. Thanks Gary for your help!

Gary is an excellent estate attorney! My first thought was that I didnt need an attorney to help close out an estate, but when some difficult issues arose, we enlisted Garys services. He really knows the intricacies of estate law. There is no way we could have done it without him. He was on top of everything and really helped us through the process. Communication is open and easy. Gary went out of his way to come up with some unique solutions to some tricky problems with our situation. At a difficult time, when many are trying to take advantage of a loved ones death, Gary was truthful and extremely reasonable with his fees. Garys assistant, Dawn, is also awesome and really just helped everything flow smoothly. With the professional, intelligent, and friendly manner in which Gary and Dawn managed our estate closure, I would strongly recommend his office to anyone.

I had a consultation with Gary yesterday. He made sure to read the details of my case and truly listen to me. Gary was professional and personable. He was realistic in his recommendations. You can tell Gary is a good person who is not just doing this job for a paycheck. Gary is a rare bread and it is refreshing.

My wife and I recently updated our estate planning and asked Gary to help. His office staff responded immediately with a convenient appointment. We found Gary to be extremely competent, personable and genuinely interested in our needs. He took the time to explain all of our options and answer questions about the issues surrounding estate planning. Although we had no prior experience with his firm, we selected him primarily because of the breadth of his practice and experience. We also wanted someone who was ethical and professional. Gary exceeded our expectations. His fee schedule is fair and competetive, so we feel we received a good value for our expense. There are many things you can figure out without much help, but do it yourself legal advice is not one of them. Gary Desper has become our choice in professional legal services.

Gary was highly recommended to me by a relative that went to the same law school. I am very happy I chose Gary to represent me in my divorce case. I was treated with alot of respect, was explained things so I could easily understand, and informed of things well ahead of time, along with reminders, to make sure everything I needed for my divorce was taken care of. His assistant, Dawn, was always super nice and greeted me with a big smile when I was in his office. But most importantly, I ended up walking away in great shape for both me and my son. I would highly recommend Gary W. Despar to represent anyone in need, and Ill most definitely contact him if I need representation again. Thanks Gary!

Mr. Desper is one of the greatest attorneys I could’ve possibly hired! I was about to have my provisional drivers license revoked(because I’m under 18) for speeding. But with Mr. Desper’s help, advice, and assistance I was able to walk away with no charges. I was facing 5 points on my license and a 6 month suspension.He’s a really friendly and outgoing individual, who truly looked out for my well-being. I highly recommend his services!

I sought out the services of Desper Law for small business matters. Gary is very knowledgeable with business law and contract terminology. In cases where others may have pushed towards costly litigation, which could last months, he instead worked to quickly seek resolution. He truely cares about the situation and puts his clients best interest first. The cost for his services are extremely reasonable. Thank you, Gary!

I have used Mr. Despers services on a few occasions. He has helped me in consultations many times, along with a legal matter I needed his help with. The first thing I want to point out is the genuine care he had for me. He explained everything in full detail and made me feel very comfortable through the whole process. He really put my mind at ease through the matter with clear communication and understanding of the situation. I truly felt like Mr. Desper had my back and was in my corner and would fight for me. I have never gotten that from any other legal service before. I know personally that he has a personal interest in each client he helps and that he cares and will most definitely go to battle for you. From time to time I bump into Mr. Desper while out and about and he takes the time to stop and talk, ask how you are, how are the kids, and whats new? He is very active in the community and strives to do well by all. He is a family man himself, and you will see that character in him if you ever need to use his services. He wont let you down by any means.

Gary assisted me with finalizing a divorce that should have ended two years ago. Throughout the process, he was very professional as well as approachable. Any questions I had, he was prompt in responding even though he had a number of other clients. His assistance and knowledge of the law made this process largely unstressful and straightforward. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in the area seeking a lawyer.
