Gerry is an amazing lawyer that has helped myself and some of my friends in the past. He is thorough, honorable, and makes an effort to truly resolve your issue in your best interests. He fully invests his time in your case and helps you become a better human from the bad experience. Could not recommend him and his services more if you are in a jam!

Gerry should retire. He is a terrible lawyer with a huge ego. He doesn’t fight for what is right, only preserving his relationships with the local court. He also makes options that are false and doesn’t practice client attorney privacy. We hired him for a family member and he didn’t even take the time to review past documents. He made mistakes and instead of fixing it or apologizing he tells everyone to just move on.
