THE BEST WORKER'S COMP ATTORNEY IN DELAWARE

Gary did not make me feel like my last attorney did, like I was being lied to and deceived. Gary is a straight matter of fact kind of attorney and showed me that he had my best interest at heart from the moment he dediced to take my case. He explained everything to me as it relates to my case and h...e did not have a problem filing the necessary paperwork to get my issues resolved as it related to my medical treatment. I didn't get to speak with him or see him as often as I would like but he has a team that was always on point and responded to my calls and/or emails almost immediately. Gary did not make me feel like a CLAIM # but a person and that alone speaks volumns and I am forever grateful and appreciative.

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.

Plaintiff - Auto Accident

My experience working with this lawfirm was fabulous! My attorney was very professional and very informative. His office handled all aspects of the case for me which allowed me to have no worries and concentrate on getting better. My paralegal was very pleasant and always eager to help in any way.... I would recommend this experienced law firm and attorney.

excuses, left me hanging

Thought Gary would help me. Took all my info and pics, so I paid out of my own pocket see a doctor and get meds, $200. Got apologies from staff, excuses about pandemic, and doctors getting stiffed. Hasn't responded since may 20, 2020, what now?

Mr. Coia, my office takes all reviews very seriously. I am sorry I declined to represent you when you parked your motorcycle in a spot of oil and claimed injuries when your motorcycle fell on you. My staff tried their best to assist you and accommodate you. I wish you the best of luck in the future. Gary Nitsche

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.
