About Gerard
Biography
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.”
