Very Strong Professional outdoing attorney

Attorney Gerrace is a well professional attorney. He helps avoid jail an he takes the time to investigate the case. He cares for his clients an shows tremendous respect. I hired attorney gerrace immediately after my lawyer had a Illness an had to drop the case. He helped me avoid jail time when the ...courts said that was the only step I had left he fights hard for his clients. I would recommend Gerrace to anyone that's going to court or is not happy with their current attorney.

Great lawyer and law firm

I'm very satisfied with the representation that I received from Atty. Gerace and Atty. Paolino. I genuinely felt comfortable with both of the attorneys and always knew that they had my best interests at heart. I was facing significant jail time and Attorney Gerace and Paolino both argued strongly ...on my behalf. I received a suspended sentence and now thankfully i'm moving forward with my life. I am grateful to them.

Can't go wrong with this attorney

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.

Gerace is the best lawyer !!!

I am so grateful to the work of William Gerace and Rebecca. My boyfriend and I were facing many class a felonies. The entire process Gerace did an excellent job at making me feel comfortable and confident. Gerace got all of my charges off of my record and my boyfriend with a previous record got only ...probation no jail time! We cant thank them enough! Definitely recommend and will use them if ever needed in the future.

Ineffective Attorney

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.
