Gerard DeVita is a seasoned lawyer in the field of personal injury litigation, and a partner in the negligence department of the firm.  His undergraduate degree is from SUNY College at Oneonta.  He earned his Juris Doctor here in Suffolk County at Touro College School of Law in 1987.

 

Gerard -- “Jerry” to friends and clients -- has been with the Sarisohn firm more than three decades, starting as a clerk while still in law school.  In that time, he has helped guide many clients through the often complicated and daunting process of their injury claims.  Our clients have come to rely on him to assure fair compensation is recovered for their losses.  Jerry has successfully fought for and recovered millions for those injured by car accidents, faulty machinery, falls, work site accidents and medical malpractice.

 

In addition to his duties here at the firm, Jerry is a member of the Suffolk Bar Association, American Trial Lawyers Association, American Association for Justice, New York State Trial Lawyers Association and also participated in the Trial Lawyers Care program that assisted victims of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center.

 

After 30 years, he says with enthusiasm: “I still feel that sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when going up against the insurance carriers to assure a better future for a client who has placed their trust in us.”

Always a great experience
Jerry has helped me with 2 cases now and he is always available to chat, even if it's about another matter that he isn't even handling. His office is top notch and always on point... I'll never consult anyone else!

Mr. Devita Gets Results!
Attorney Devita goes the extra mile. He took the time to explain my case in detail and what to expect, and answered all of my calls and texts. I found him to be knowledgeable and truthful and importantly, he cared about my case and was persistent with the other side.

When a lawyer is needed, Gerard Devita is the one needed in your corner !
Gerard represented myself and my son in court and I couldn't be happier with all the results , he worked out a settlement that was far more than I ever could have imagined. The entire situation could not have been handled in a better manner, I will recommend Gerard to all my friends and contacts who need the best representation in court.

Very Professional Lawyer
Mr. DeVita is very professional, experienced and knowledgeable lawyer. I consider myself a very detail oriented person, sometimes pushing the boundaries on the patience of the person providing the details. I was very relieved and pleased when I found that Mr. DeVita was not only very knowledgeable in his field but also welcomed any and all questions I had, having an open-communication regarding every step of my case is very important to me. He is also very personable and caring. Mr. DeVita listens and will calm any nervousness you might be experiencing. If anyone is in need of an exceptional attorney I highly recommend him.
