Highly Recommend

George has been a colleague and friend for the last several years. I have referred many of my NY clients to him for personal injury cases. He is personable, attentive to the clients and has a tremendous ability to analyze each case. Each of my clients has raved about George's representation. I h...ighly recommend him.

THE ONE

I had a brain injury accident , and I didn't know what to do, I was completely lost, George helped from the beginning to last day, i can't put in words everything that he did to help me, words can't said what we got live. Everytime that I walked to his office with problems, he already knew each way ...to go to avoid major problems. My experience with him was amazing, I learned a lot with him and he's past experiences, having him on my side fighting for my rights made my battle much easier to me, I will always remember what he said " we fighting a giant, but if you do what I'm telling you to do, we can't loose". So I did what he told me to do, and and having him as my defender I went through fire and hot water, and I didn't feel a thing, because he was there for me every time that I needed most. I walked into a places that I didn't have to said a word, because I had a DEFENDER, I had THE ONE fighting and talking for me, thanks GEORGE and all he's staffs, you guys made my life much better than it was, thanks GOD first and all of you after

George Ilchert is a Class Act and a Solid Diamond.

When I contacted George about my case he got back to me in just a few hours and was ready to work. After discussing my case not only did I feel George listened to the facts but I felt heard as human and heart . Mr. Ilchert did all of the research and quickly and thoroughly. He always got back to me f...irst. Not once did I have to call email or chase him to get answers or updates. He has the ability to make my family and myself feel safe in such sensitive and delicate situations with kindness and care. You will be in good hands. I knew when we were moving forward with litigation I had someone who would be fighting like a bulldog one hundred percent and had only my best interest at hand. I am so very pleased with our results and our WIN! Thank you George... You Are a Diamond - Solid , Reliable and Shining with Confidence and Care. I would highly recommend Esquire George Ilchert to represent anyone I loved or cared about . I would even invite George to our family Barbecue. High Regards for this Diamond of a lawyer. - NYC

George is simply the best

It is a good feeling when you're able to put your complete trust into your lawyer. George, from day one, steered the ship with deft expertise. He is thorough, down to earth, and unflappable. Of course, the reason why I needed a lawyer was not something I was excited about; but, I absolutely would not... have navigated that experience well without him. A million thanks to you George, my life is better because of you!

Caring and Compassionate

George handled my father's personal injury case with speed, efficiency and great compassion despite his difficult circumstances. Even though he was nearly indigent the firm took on his case after his injury and handled it with minimum expense but still acheived a very fair and reasonable settlement. ...In addition George was able to direct him to doctors for other unrelated health issues who worked with him to get the proper care after years of not seeing a doctor. I highly recommend George and his firm to anyone who wants honest, caring and effective legal advice from an honest man. When my wife was injured in New Jersey I contacted George and even though it was not a case he could take on he provided sound advice on our options and how to find an attorney in New Jersey.
