Excellent Representation

Atty Gerace knows the laws and the courts better than any lawyer that I have ever worked with. His experience coupled with his refreshing honesty make his services invaluable whether in criminal or civil matters, I highly recommend him and his excellent firm.

Criminal and Civil

Atty Gerace represented my family several times with excellence, dignity and refreshing honesty. He delivered results well beyond expectations. I’d highly recommend him for criminal or civil representation.

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!

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.

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.
