Negotiated My Settlement Like a True Pro
Mr. Gersowitz negotiated settlement of my lawsuit like a true professional. He and his staff were always honest, informative and a step ahead of the game. Ed got the job done for me and I really appreciate it. I'd highly recommend Ed for any personal injury matters!

Compassionate and attentive, I can't recommend enough
After 5 yearsong years, my lawsuit finally came to an end recently with a settlement. I knew it would be a tough case but Ed Gersowitz and his team were phenomenal and the case ended more favorably than I ever could have hoped for. In addition, Ed and his team were fatastic about keeping me up to date and always checking in with me to see how I was doing and how I was recovering after my accident. I can't recommend the GLK enough for their level of personal care, compassion, and attentiveness.
