Highly Recommend This Attorney Willam Gerace

My son was facing 2 criminal charges for guns and drugs, I couldn’t be sincerely more pleased and happy with the outcome, my son could’ve faced a long time in jail but thanks to Mr. Gerace he will only be facing a year sentence. Mr. Gerace knows what he’s doing, he’s a very knowledgeable person in la...w and well experienced. He kept me updated with my son’s case until it was over. I would highly recommend attorney Mr. Willam Gerace.

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!
