About Gary Costales

Employment is an ever-changing area of law that demands a specialist rather than a lawyer who dabbles in the area. I am board certified in Labor and Employment law. Of the more than 100,000 lawyers licensed in the State of Florida, less than 200, (>.002%) are board certified by the Florida Bar in Labor and Employment law.

I enjoy helping people and companies achieve their goals. There are a few keys to success.

Communication and accessibility are crucial to achieving a goal. I try to be accessible at all times. I’ve answered client calls during holidays, while on vacation, and even in the wee hours if necessary.

Litigation is stressful. My office strives to avoid the stress of litigation.

Years of litigation and life experience have helped me become a more effective lawyer. I am a native New Yorker who moved to Miami Beach at the start of high school. My experience as a litigator and as one who held a variety of jobs before law school helps to better frame arguments that will resonate with a judge, jury, or an opposing party.

I graduated from the Cumberland School of Law, established in 1847, law school to two Supreme Court justices, past Presidents of the Florida Bar, and various other state and federal judges and legislators.
