Client involved in a major car accident Dec. 12th 2012 resulting in my left hip and pelvis being shattered.

My wife and I was involved in a major car accident on Dec 12th 2012, just before Christmas getting ready to go shopping. When some one just blew thru a red light at a major intersection and broad sided the driver side. Rushed to the hospital in severe condition, with a shattered lt hip and pelvis al...ong with a very long stay at the hosptial for 2wks. Being a older gentleman,the impact of the car was so traumatic, that my body was shutting down going into liver and kidney failure. Family not knowing if I was going to survive with my wife and daughter at my side. My lawyer Gary Nitsche visited me while I was in the hospital and worked very closely with my daughter with corresponding information that was crucial in my case. Gary was always there for me no matter how many questions I had. Not only do I think of Gary as my family attorney and what mesures he took to do everything for me and my family but a good friend. He takes time for your questions, considerate and so very thoughtful. Two years of pain and suffering and Gary Nitsche as my attorney and proud of him brought me thru it. With a new hip replacement and walking good. Gary seen to it I got the justice and respect that I needed. The whole staff was great I would highly recommend Gary Nitsche anytime for an attorney.

Exceptional representation from an exceptional team!

Gary and his entire staff were attentive and very conscious of my needs and concerns. His team kept me informed of every detail each step along the way in my case. They explained everything to me and my wife and advised us what to expect. They made sure that we were well prepared for everything and p...ut us at ease throughout my case. During hearings, they were exceptionally professional and thorough. Each member of the entire team was a strong advocate for me. Special kudos to MJ Santiago who was an exceptional advocate from the beginning to the end of our case. I would highly recommend Gary and his team to anyone looking for strong, professional and empathetic representation.

simply the best

Mr. nitsche is the best attorney I've ever seen. when you feel as though you need help and you have to seek a attorney its really scary not knowing what go do and who to trust . Instantly I felt at ease when I came to him for my Workman's compensation case believe it or not your job isn't your frie...nds its your attorney who has best interest at heart . If you go to him do what he's saids and relax because he is going to take care of you thank you for all that you have done

Car Accident Case

Good morning Maria-I would like to personally thank you for your assistance with my recent legal matter. This is the first time I was involved with the legal process as a result of an accident. You were very patient and attentive with all my concerns; I know I had a lot of them. Both attorneys, G...ary Nitsche and Kiadii Harmon, were wonderful and did a great job with the case. Again, thank you for helping me through the process. Have a great summer.

Avvo Rating

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.
