Professional lawyer at the most.

Her first met Gary in 2007 had to work accident. Gary and I talked and he made it very clear. I will do the best and only the best that I can. If you want quick money go to another lawyer that will just give you anything I will fight for you this is my job. I believe in Gary I believe in the stop par...alegals everyone there in the office is professional. I had to go back to Gary in 2020 to being run over . And again Gary and his staff did top notch work I believe them I trust him did not let me down. Thank you thank you again.

Individualized, personal attention from Gary & Team

Over the course of 4+ years, Gary and his team have provided me with honesty/transparency, patience (I ask a LOT of questions)?and easy to understand information in layperson’s terms. As this was my first involvement in a legal process, initially I was concerned as to how my work injury would impact ...my personal and professional life. Every time I felt uncertainty, as new proceedings emerged, Gary and Paralegal Kelle promptly returned my calls/emails. I was always treated with respect, honesty and professionalism. My interactions were mostly with Paralegal Kelle, who was always eager to guide me through legal jargon. Gary and his staff made sure that I was taken care of, and thus, my anxiety level would be brought back down. Gary’s team “battled” through any hiccups, and issues from the Defense. Their goal was my goal: ensuring that I received a favorable settlement (which I did, thank you all!). If you’re in need of legal help, this professional, knowledgeable legal team… look no further. It has been a long legal journey since I first met Gary in 2018, and I am extremely grateful for all of their assistance and support, as they eased my mind and I was able to sleep at night. High praise for this law firm!

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!"

A mind set at ease!!!

I was recommended to talk with Gary Nitsche shortly after having a accident at work. I'm not the sort of person to resort to talking with a lawyer, but when my employer and workman comp. weren't assisting me with my concerns and medical needs, I turned to Mr. Nitsche and his associates. They welcome...d me in their office and sat me down to discuss my situation. When I left his office from my initial visit, my mind was set at ease. Within days I was receiving the medical attention I needed and it was as if the wall that was blocking my forward progress was lifted. Mr. Nitsche and my contact in his office continued to keep me informed of my case and they were also there for any questions I had. Anytime I came into a snag with my healthcare, all I had to do was contact his office. This is the kind of help and assistance you can expect from Gary Nitsche's office. Even though my case has been resolved, his office has continued to check on me continued healing. I would recommend Gary Nitsche to anyone in need of assistance with a Workman Comp claim.

Gary Nitsche, Esquire is the best!

I suffered injury on my job and needed a great attorney. After working myself in the legal system in Delaware for 31 years, I couldn't settle for an okay attorney. I did my research and Gary Nitsche was my final choice. Mr. Nitsche and my assigned paralegal Mayra, have done everything to keep me f...ocused on my health, so I didn't have to worry about whether or not my case was being handled properly. I've referred several friends and their friends to him, and they all say they'll use him again and make sure their family members do as well. He has also represented several of my family members! If you want an attorney to be candid with you and take the pressure off of you, and allow you to take care of yourself, he's the perfect choice!

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.
