“We could not have asked for better representation in our case. [Michael] Eisenbaum and his team were so prepared and ready to tackle this challenge. His ability to communicate and articulate his thoughts to the jury through asking poignant questions was no accident. Mr. Eisenbaum had done his research and I felt like he genuinely cared about us personally and our company. I’m obviously relieved with the outcome, but truly believe it was greatly associated with Mr. Eisenbaum’s hard work.”

“Our attorney Nathan Lee and Gray•Duffy, LLP were extremely professional and prompt with their correspondences. We appreciate​d their direct and honest approach with providing all the necessary facts and recommendations, ​while still allowing us to make the final decision. We never felt pressure to “just settle.” Our best interest was always at the forefront. We definitely could not have asked for better legal representation and will not hesitate for a second to recommend this law firm and Nathan Lee to close friends and family. Thank you Nathan and Gray•Duffy, LLP for the outstanding experience!”

“When my house flooded twice in one year due to the defendant’s negligence, I sought out legal counsel. After contacting a few law firms, I met with Gray•Duffy and they were very informative from the outset, providing clear guidance on next steps and referring me to a company that specialized in foundations to assess the damage. Attorney Nathan Lee explained the firm’s strategy and regularly communicated with me throughout the case. Our weekly calls and emails put me at ease, knowing Gray•Duffy was actively handling my matter. Ultimately, we settled without going to trial, which I was happy about. I highly recommend Gray•Duffy and Nathan Lee for legal representation.”

“Gray•Duffy was recommended as outside counsel when our General Liability insurance carrier denied coverage on our claim. They were the only firm we met with and right from the start, attorney Nathan Lee instilled confidence in us and we looked no further. Nate immediately understood our situation, realized our financial position and did everything possible to work within our limitations. He set realistic expectations and his communication was excellent; there was never an instance where we were not notified of developments. Nate’s skilled guidance and direction was invaluable, and he created a personal atmosphere throughout our case. Overall, the firm is honest, trustworthy and reliable.”

“I was referred to Erin Tenner by another car dealer in the Los Angeles area and have been working with her since 1999. She has helped me with multiple buys/sells, and her advice has saved me a lot of money over the years. You never know how much you have saved until you don’t take the advice — then the cost is obvious. Erin provides solid counsel and I recommend her to anyone buying/selling a dealership, or leasing/buying automotive property.”

Michelle was very thorough and most importantly, took a personal interest in me and my case throughout the entire process. I greatly appreciate her help in resolving my matter.”

“Please permit me to express my appreciation for the fine legal representation provided by Steve Wood in a recently concluded property dispute. Without reviewing all of the many details of the case, may it suffice to say that his legal sleuthing revealed unanticipated environmental aspects to the dispute. Steve identified the key laws and regulations necessary to compel the plaintiffs not only to reverse their long-standing encroachment on our property entirely, but to also dismiss their lawsuit with prejudice. What at first promised to be a long and costly defense turned into a rout of the plaintiffs.”

“I have referred several matters to Gary Gray and work with him ongoing in numerous cases. I appreciate Gary’s excellent managerial abilities and that he conscientiously selects the appropriate attorney for the matter, whom I can then consult. Even though another attorney is handling the case, Gary stays on top of everything and is in regular communication. He has the unique ability to calmly listen to legal issues presented and works closely with you to determine the best next steps. Gary has zero arrogance, and his integrity and honesty are beyond reproach.”

“Steve Wood’s understanding of commercial leases, and purchases and sales, is pretty much unmatched. He is very good at what he does and extremely competent in his knowledge of the law. Steve always has my best interest at heart, will go the extra mile to ensure a successful outcome, and when necessary, isn’t afraid to ‘play tough.’ It’s nice to have an attorney on your side that knows what he’s doing.”

“Erin Tenner initially represented me when I bought my Buick GMC dealership. I was so pleased with the result, I again turned to her for the negotiation of a real property purchase and to handle most of my ongoing corporate matters. Erin’s knowledge and experience has literally saved me tens of thousands of dollars. She is incredibly thorough and takes the time to explain complex concepts so that I can make informed decisions about how I wanted to proceed. I trust Erin’s process and know she’s always putting my interests first. I highly recommend Erin to anyone buying a dealership or with business transaction needs.”

I have a lot of trust in Gary and would recommend his firm if you’re seeking high-level legal representation at a reasonable rate.”

“I met Gary Gray and John Duffy as a tenant in the same office building 15 years ago, and as I got to know the firm over time, I liked what I saw. Gray•Duffy has an exceptional reputation, and offers integrity and open communication to its clients. I’ve had the opportunity to refer numerous personal injury and breach of contract matters to the firm, as well as serve as co-counsel on a very successful personal injury case. I can say that Gray•Duffy truly puts clients first and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the firm.”

“I was referred to Steve Wood when my family became involved in a lawsuit at a commercial property we own. From day one, it was clear Steve had a thorough understanding of commercial real estate and the legal issues we faced. He approached the situation from a business standpoint, not just a legal one, and guided us every step of the way. While lawsuits are never enjoyable, Steve made the process palatable and we were happy with the outcome.”

“We were involved with a contractor dispute and hired Gray•Duffy through our insurance company to represent us in litigation. The matter required numerous depositions and attorney Mike Eisenbaum was organized and relentless throughout the entire process. I appreciated the level of communication and open dialogue Mike provided, and was happy with the outcome. I have continued to utilize Mike and the Gray•Duffy team on additional work since the case.”

“I have used Erin Tenner for years in multiple transactions, most recently with the sale of four franchises in Northern California. In every case she covered territory others would not. She treats each deal as if it were her own, not just a task to mark time on. In one sale prior to 2008, she was able to get the manufacturer to release us on a lease that ended up being trouble later and would have been catastrophic for me if I had not gotten that release. I would have never asked, assuming the answer would have been a no, but Erin not only thought of it, she got it done. I never leave her without her!”

“As a business owner, I’ve learned that if an employment issue arises, discretion is vital. John Duffy of Gray•Duffy exercised the discretion we needed, while being extremely professional, very thorough and easy to talk to. Most importantly, I was exceptionally pleased with the results he obtained for me. I would highly recommend Gray•Duffy to other businesses.”

“Gray•Duffy, LLP and Nathan Lee are extremely professional and prompt, and always get right to the heart of the matter. No stone was left unturned. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking quality counsel. I would definitely retain them again in the future.”

He was always very informative, timely, and expedient in returning emails. Michael really showed diligence in preparing the case and reaching out to the prosecuting attorney in an attempt to resolve it. It was a pleasure working with him.”

“Erin represented me when I bought my Mercedes, BMW, GM, Volvo and Subaru dealership. It was great having someone on our team who has handled hundreds auto dealership transfers. She was able to help us coordinate all the manufacturers, landlords and lenders and deal with several road bumps we encountered along the way. I highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a dealership!”

“Michelle MacDonald of Gray•Duffy worked relentlessly throughout my racial discrimination case. Her diligence and integrity during the proceedings brought the case to a positive closure.

The case was completed successfully and Michael kept us well informed throughout, not to mention he was extremely easy to work with. All in all, Gray•Duffy was dependable and we were more than satisfied with the results. I am happy to recommend the firm and am confident the attorneys at Gray•Duffy will do their best to succeed in any endeavor you present to them.”

“Erin has been my General Counsel … for over 20 years. …Erin is extremely thorough, detail oriented and creative. Erin is unusual in that she is a Deal Maker not a Deal Breaker. I would highly recommend Erin to anyone in need of an experienced general contract or business attorney.”

“Gray•Duffy has a strong working knowledge of our industry and how the various participants in insurance relate to each other, both in a business and in a legal sense.

Then, she worked with me to get the best deal I could when I sold. She has always done a great job for me with my dealership and with other businesses as well. I highly recommend her.”

He provides a straightforward, honest evaluation of every case, and always stays involved and in touch. When I call on Gary, I can count on the fact that things will be done right the first time. He’s a great guy and a tremendous attorney.”

“John Duffy was very patient and took the time to listen to me and answer my questions regarding the lawsuit I was involved in. I never felt lost or rushed during the course of our two-year professional involvement. Despite the fact that it was my first experience navigating a lawsuit, I felt very comfortable with him. He always returned my calls promptly and took the time to explain things to me thoroughly. I’ve already referred others to him on several occasions, and I would use his services again in a heartbeat.”

“We engaged John Duffy of Gray•Duffy at the recommendation of a Superior Court Judge after being disgruntled by the attorney who was handling our matter. John was able to quickly take over and resolve all of our problems. Our experience was 100% positive; I could not ask for a better attorney. He is efficient, conscientious and ethical – three words that are not typically associated with those in the legal profession! I’ve already recommended Gray•Duffy, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.”

My experience working with the firm has been great and I would certainly recommend their services to others.”

They possess extreme competence born from years of experience, and their legal team is a well-oiled machine that gets things done – and done right. I recommend them without hesitation.”

“My relationship with the firm is far more than just an attorney-client relationship. Gray•Duffy acts as a business consultant on many levels in addition to my legal matters.”

“I engaged Rick Williams with Gray•Duffy when my company had a conflict with the bank regarding some real estate loans and a personal guaranty. Rick is a dedicated and trustworthy advisor who is interested in protecting his clients’ rights above all else. In fact, he treats his clients more like friends than business associates. I would recommend him to anyone.”

“Ed Scott and Michelle MacDonald have excellent reputations and a strong rapport with their fellow attorneys, mediators, and judges, a fact which has helped our cases reach resolution quickly and economically.
