Gerard Michael Karam

I contacted Attorney Karam on the advice of a friend, a person who has himself practiced law in Scranton for decades, after I was informed that my nephew had been arrested on an assault charge. When I called my friend, he did not suggest I call 2 or 3 attorneys to consult with; he simply said "Call ...Gerard Karam". My family and I are very fortunate to have received that advice. The case was complicated from the start so we needed a lawyer who was intelligent; who knew the legal landscape in Lackawanna County; and who was held in high esteem within the local legal community. Gerry fit the bill on all counts. Gerry has spent decades practicing law in Lackawanna County, and has developed solid working relationships with his peers...fellow Attorneys, District Attorneys, and Judges. My nephew was initially charged with felony assault, a frightening prospect to say the least. At our initial meeting with Gerry, he explained very clearly to us the charge, the facts of the case, the plan of action, and the possible outcomes. Throughout the the months-long process from preliminary hearing to sentencing hearing, Gerry knew when evolving circumstances dictated that we should move slowly and when to move full steam ahead. As questions and concerns arose, Gerry made himself readily available for in-person meetings and phone calls. I never felt rushed when meeting with or talking to Gerry and he always gave full-bodied answers to questions. Gerry treated my family and me with the utmost respect...there was never a hint of arrogance or dismissiveness. Gerry never sugar-coated things...he told the unvarnished truth....a quality I respect. My nephew was well prepped prior to both the preliminary and sentencing hearings. At the preliminary hearing, due to Gerry's excellent negotiating skills and ability to remain calm and focused under stressful, fluid circumstances, the felony assault charge was reduced to a misdemeanor assault charge. The outcome of the sentencing hearing was as was hoped for. Seeing a loved one through a period of incarceration and the twists and turns of a legal process is scary, stressful, and painful. If you retain Gerard Karam for you or your loved one, you will have the peace of mind of knowing you made the best possible choice. I admire Gerry for his skill and evident competence as a lawyer, and I admire him as a person.

I came across Gerard karam during the worst part of my life. He was referred by a good friend of mine and went into his office with some confidence. Initially he was very patient and listened carefully. He give me the right advice and helped me to choose the most appropriate way. He was able to do ...a great negotiation and got me a plea bargain. Even during the final judgment, he was very supportive and kind. He help me to get back to my family and today I’m happy to stay with my wife and children. Gerard is a very honest man. He’s a reasonable person and not greedy at all. His terms and conditions are fair and his legal charges are reasonable too. If somebody wakes me up in the midnight and ask for the lawyer, my only choice would be Gerard karam. I sincerely pray the Almighty to bless him and his family with health, happiness and peace. I also thank all his staff members, specially his secretary Marie who is not only efficient but also kind. She was patient and compassionate, kind and intelligent, prompt and professional, ....I feel that Gerry is lucky to have her as his secretary. On the whole, I’m extremely pleased to have him as my attorney.

Mr. Karam represented me in a very complex and serious legal matter. My situation involved multiple parties and required a high level of legal and business knowledge. Mr. Karam's professionalism, determination and commitment to provide the best outcome for my case never wavered. Mr. Karam clearly e...xplained every aspect of the legal process as well as the potential outcome. Not only is Mr. Karam a consummate legal professional he is a GOOD man. The kindness he showed me and my family through what was the most difficult time of our lives was beyond measure. He guided me through a very lengthy and life altering matter and as terrifying as it was I always knew he was doing absolutely everything possible to produce the best possible outcome and give me a chance to survive. I have no words to express how grateful I am to this man and all that he did for me. There is no question he saved my life.
