Posted by Robert | April 25, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Highly recommended

Mr.Gelb is the utmost professional lawyer ive ever had to deal with . He untangled a sloppy job by my former divorce lawyer who dilly dallied for 3 years . Within 5 months with his superb intellect , competence and compassion he completed the task at hand and divorce was finalized . Can’t say enough... about him .

Posted by markus.vink | February 22, 2013 | Child Custody

Strongly recommended

He is a highly professional lawyer, proceeding cautiously and deliberately rather than overly aggressive. Trustworthy and very knowledgeable in the subject matter, both with regards to child custody/visitation issues and financial (child support) matters. Highly recommended.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
