Had an accident about 3 yrs ago. I wasn’t happy with the lawyer that I had back then, until a friend referred me to Mr Gelch. Best decision ever. He was actually on my back calling me and making sure everything was ok with me and that I was going to my doctor appointments. 100 % recommended!!!!

I was referred to Gary Gelch’s office through a family member whose case he handled. My accident happened close to Thanksgiving but that didn’t stop Gary or his staff from getting right to work on my case. From start to finish both Gary and the staff members I interacted with were professional and responsive. Every email and phone call was always returned promptly. Any and every question I had was answered with patience and I never was rushed off the phone. Gary and his staff did an amazing job on my case and I’m very thankful that I was referred to his office. I will have no problem recommending

When I first needed a personal injury attorney I was unsure who to turn to. At my age I have learned to distrust most attorneys. I consulted with three firms and decided to retain Gary's law firm. I consider myself a good judge of people and like Gary from the start. It has been nine long months and this last Friday I received the call from Gary that I have been waiting for. All I can say is Gary performed far better than I anticipated and really treated me right. I will forever be indebted to Gary and his firm. Harry Napleton, Naples Florida
