William T Gerace

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!!

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.

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.
