Injury case

Gary and his team helped me navigate the complexities of an injury case with simple and understandable language. I never felt forgotten or unsure of what was coming next in the process. Gary helped me to settle my case quickly and amicably. I would highly recommend him and his A+ team!

Very helpful

We were hit by a drunk driver and were at a loss with both our insurance company and the other driver's. It was a hopeless time for us, and we needed guidance, so we contacted this law firm. Joel was our primary point of contact and helped us immensely through this difficult situation with his insigh...t and expertise. Thank you for everything you've done for us.

Gary Nitsche

My wife and I cannot speak highly enough about Gary Nietzsche and his law firm. This man is a partner in a busy law firm and he returns my calls on Saturdays and Sundays!? Gary's staff is top notch and usually my phone calls and email questions were answered within an hour. Great great service. Wh...en I was injured at work I asked my coworkers if they could recommend an attorney and several people who Gary had represented said, "Without question, Gary Nitsche!" Gary helped write the Delaware Workmans Compensation laws. With background experience like that who would you want to represent you? Gary and his team fought for every penny due me and I am grateful that I can say, "My attorney is Gary Nitsche!"

Excellent experience

Gary S Nitsche is very knowledgeable, professional and informative. He’s very caring person and very compassionate about his work. Mr. Nitsche and staff kept me informed about my automobile accident case from start to finish. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Nitsche and his staff... for an awesome job. This was the first time I had to use an attorney and I didn’t know what to expect. When I met with Mr. Nitsche for the first time he put my mind at ease, and explained the process and what to expect. Mr. Nitsche and his staff would contacted me throughout my recovery to see how I was progressing. Thank you, and your staff for a job well done. . I will definitely recommend Mr. Nitsche and his firm

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.
