Great lawyer, to the point kinda of guy

William Gerace is a to point attorney, tells you how it is and what he is going to do. Glad I used him and was referred to use him. He helped us through our tough time. If you need a great lawyer he is your man.

Total disappointment

Attorney Gerace was highly recommended so we thought we had the help we needed on our side. Boy were we wrong? First consult he told us he could do way better than the public defender and being that he was so highly recommended we TRUSTED him. He did not help us in any way. Was always in a rush and a...lmost always unavailable. We felt brushed off in every encounter. He did not advise us on any options but simply told us what we should do. we trusted he had our best interest as any one would do with their hired counsel but we shortly found out that wasn’t the case here. Attorney Gerace took our money and ended up doing nothing more than the public defender had already done. Now we are left with not only no money left to hire different counsel, having to deal with an lengthy, unfortunate outcome, that we now know for a fact could have been much brighter but also the distrust in attorneys. Tremendous disappointment!!

Excellent, representation.

Over a year ago, we needed the expert advice of a criminal defense attorney. Good people can make bad decisions. We didn't contact the attorneys that advertise on television. We contacted William Gerace. We phoned the office and received an appointment, the next day. He was professional but also a p...erson who you felt very comfortable speaking with. At our meeting, he was very truthful of the possible outcome of our situation. We appreciated his honesty. Over the year, we needed to phone his office and was grateful for his extremely competent and caring staff! Fast forward, he won the case for our son!

Straight Shooter

Attorney Gerace is a straight shooter telling it like it is. He was honest from the beginning letting me know where I stood taking the time to explain the process so the there were little if any surprises. His legal staff especially Melissa were most knowledgeable and helpful with additional help t...alking me through situations. Together they work together to give me and my family the best possible outcome.

excellent attorney

Mr. Gerace is an excellent attorney. I was charged with sexual assault and tampering with a witness. from the beginning, Mr. Gerace confided to me that he would do everything in his power and expertise o keep me from going to jail and having to register as a sex offender. I was facing a possible 20 y...ear imprisonment. Mr. Gerace is very well respected by all the court personnel and knows and has worked with many prosecuters. he always made me feel that he was on my side and very empathetic. this could have ruined me and my families life. well after 9 months, He was able to get the sexual assault charge completely dropped and the tampering with a witness (another felony charge), down to a misdemeanor resisting arrest charge. I received a 2 year probation and no jail time. I was ecstatic to say the least. Mr. Gerace literally saved my life and my family also. thank you Mr. Gerace for all your dedication and hard work to keep me and my family together.
