William T Gerace

When I found myself in a need of a criminal defense attorney, William Gerace and Rebecca Paolino were a godsend. Having spent some time in the courtroom observing other lawyers, one could immediately notice the respect Gerace's presence commands from the judge and the prosecutors. His experience, ass...ertiveness, and ever-present calmness are the best characteristics that one could seek in an attorney. I would wholeheartedly recommend William Gerace and his law firm.

I hired Attorney Gerace to represent me in a criminal matter. Gerace handed my case over to his associate, Jeremy Donnelly, who was inexperienced at best, and did a poor job of representation. He waited too long in filing my appeal and therefore the appeal was denied. Another of my claims was deni...ed by the appellate court because Attorney Donnelly failed to bring up the matter at my original hearing. Attorney Gerace also refused to provide me with transcripts of my hearings for which I had paid, until I filed a complaint with the grievance committee. Attorney Gerace greatly overcharged me for his services, lied on several occasions, and failed to keep me informed of developments.. Do yourselves a favor and hire another attorney.

Having never been in any trouble with the police before, I had no idea what to expect, and worse, terrified that I'd be imprisoned. Attorney Gerace and Associates explained to me everything that was going on step by step and did everything they could to get the resolution I was looking for. If anyone... I know ever needs an attorney, or myself again, they'll be my first and last call.

I hired William Gerace for a criminal offense. After going to court for months, he never remembered my name. I was really surprised when we stood outside of the courthouse and he said that he could get me AR (plead guilty to a felony), but I had to remind him that I had a prior; then he suggested Al...ford Docket that I didn't have to admit guilt (again, plead to a felony); and finally I had to remind him of our first conversation that I was innocent of this offense and was not going to plead to a crime in which I did not commit. He finally said,” Would you plead a misdemeanor”? This conversation lasted about 3 to 4 minutes. It was like I was negotiating with a prosecutor himself. He knew (before the conversation started) that I could plead only to the misdemeanor, then why did he start with wanting me to plead to a felony twice if he knew the prosecutor was accepting the misdemeanor??? I was very disappointed.
