My Favorite Legal Experience

After a bad fall in a parking lot, I wasn’t sure I even had a case. Gelbstein & Associates reviewed everything, explained my options clearly, and then made the property owner’s insurance settle without dragging it out. These guys are top notch.

Highly Recommended Law Firm

Mr. Gelbstein is a force. The insurance company played games for months, but once he got involved, everything changed. We ended up with a $750,000 payout. If you want someone who doesn’t back down, this is your guy.

top service !

I had a pretty complicated case with overlapping insurance policies and medical liens. Berel was on top of every document, and Ezra made sure I got proper treatment. Mr. Gelbstein navigated the whole thing like a pro. Highly recommend.

Compassionate and Quick Response Service

I was hit while riding my bike near Sheepshead Bay. I called their office the same day, and Ezra had a physical therapist lined up by that evening. Mr. Gelbstein negotiated full compensation without delay. They work fast and care deeply.

Knowledgeable and Reliable Lawyers

I was hit by a car crossing Ocean Parkway. I needed surgery and was out of work. Ezra and Berel coordinated all the doctor visits and insurance forms. Mr. Gelbstein pushed hard and got a life-changing settlement. I highly recommend them to anyone injured in Brooklyn.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
