Medical Malpractice 50%

I spent the first 11 years of my career defending medical malpractice cases, before switching to representing plaintiffs. During my time on the defense side, I developed close relationships with risk managers, insurance adjusters, defense attorneys and judges. I also learned how to destroy a Plaintiff's case. Now I represent Plaintiffs, and ensure my clients do not fall into these traps. Our firm does not get paid until you get paid, so I do everything in my power to get my clients paid ASAP.

Thank you Gerry!

Gerry was able to regain ownership of our trademark the advice that was given was spot on and helped close the issue faster and without breaking the bank!

Perfect attorney, A to Z

We have used Gerry several times over the past year. From trademark issues, to litigation issues for us and against us. He has handled our account in the most professional manner expected. His responses via email and by phone are not only timely, but informative and to the point. He is thorough and n...ot only handled each of our situations for us, he guided us with experienced advice on how we should proceed. For us this was amazing as a lot of the situations that came across were new for us and we not only needed representation but someone who could advise our best options. An attorney is someone you hope you never need like a dr but when you do, Gerry is definitely worth speaking with.

Gerry Rocks

Gerry was great. Very patient and informative about the trademark we were registering. He trawled through many potential company names and gave solid advice throughout the whole process. His rate was fair and he was a pleasure to deal with. Would gladly use him again and would highly recommend him to... those in need of a courteous yet ferocious lawyer.

Excellent and highly responsive to meet your individual needs

I had a case that involved a banking subpoena that could have been a very big headache. Gerry and his staff were able to walk me through the entire process and quash it in its entirety. The thing about Gerry that was I am most pleased is the time and manner he was able to respond to me when I had a q...uestion. It was lightning speed. I was very comforted to know that I had felt that a small case to him was handled very professionally and swiftly which in turn ended up saving me money and extra possible litigation costs. I rarely give out reviews on different services or people, but when I do, it must be for someone who has done exceptional work. Gerry and his staff have definitely proven that and I vouch for them when it comes to their work and the way the handle it with their clients.
