Gerard Michael Karam

I was extremely happy with the services provided by the law firm. The staff is professional in all aspects of dealing with my case. When I went to the office for the first time I was extremely nervous as the I had many counts against me. I sat with attorneys Karam and Mazzoni and they put my mind at ...ease that they could help me but could promise me anything. They were the utmost professionals answering my questions and concerns that arises as they came up for me. When I went to court Jerry would put my mind At ease and explain the details of what was going to transpire in the precedings. The advice that I received was sound and accurate to the case that I had, in the end Jerry was able to come true with the results that he expected and I can state that I am extremely happy with my results. I was able to get probation and avoid prison which was important to me. I have no reservations in recommending Jerry and his fellow attorneys at this law firm as the are true professionals. I owe Jerry a debt of gratitude that I could never repay for giving me back my life. If you were in need of a defense attorney, Jerry and the attorneys here are the right and only choice in my opinion. I thank you one professional to another.

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.

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.

From the moment we entered his office we felt Mr. Karam REALLY wanted to help us and listened to ALL of our concerns. Gerry made us feel as if we were his only clients. He demonstrated complete knowledge of the problem we were having and personally was at ALL the meetings and court appearances that... we had to attend. He supported us when we had doubts and were upset about the whole legal affair. Gerry had the answers we needed and always was there to advise and lift us up when we were down. Wth his help and guidance we finally got through the grueling court appearances and couldn't believe the outcome which turned out in our favor. We would definitely recommend Gerry to anyone as a concerned and caring lawyer with a knowledge of all the legal matters we came across.
