Disgruntled Family member

HORRIBLE! Mr, Gelbman was unprofessional at every turn or our experience. Did NOTHING in a timely fashion after a family members passing. If you are considering getting an attorney, get ANYONE ELSE! Ethics or ethical behavior we found was not his strong suit!

Unprofessional and unreliable

This attorney took on my traffic ticket case and I found out two months later he did not respond to traffic court. Now I am facing a suspension on my license and he is not responding to any of my queries.

Unprofessional and Unresponsive.

Attorny Gelbman was hired to take care of a traffic violation in upstate new york for me. He told me the matter was resolved and provided me with a document and a fine which I paid. Turns out that he gave me the wrong documents and the fine was sent to a different court altogether. After I had inform...ed him of his mistake he acknowledged it and said he'd "take care of it" but then he stopped responding to my/off the record's phone calls. Highly unprofessional.

Great lawyer

Mr Gelbman was very professional and helped me with a false customer complaint. He was very clear and helpful. He also reviewed my business contract and rewrote it for me.

Dedicated and Professional

Andrew is an excellent lawyer! He is smart, communicative, honest, and handled my case with care. He explained everything about the process, the expectations, and timeline so I knew what to expect and helped obtain a favorable outcome. I highly recommend him.

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.
