If you're looking for an, "AMAZING" team look no further

From Day 1 Gary and his team handled my case professionally and effectively. They were always there when I had any questions, and ensured they stayed in contact along the way. This was my first time dealing with any level of attorney, so I was a bit apprehensive concerning my case and the process of ...it all. Gary, Joel and Mayra ensured my nerves were at ease and gave me the best customer service (honestly more than I asked for) ever. I recommend this team and stand by my word on their service. I was honestly overwhelmed with the sheer level of support I received and cannot thank them enough for assisting me with my case. GOLD STAR, STELLAR SERVICE, AMAZING TEAM!!!

Highly Recommend

Gary and his team are amazing. He made me feel comfortable right from the start. I showed him pictures of my injuries from the accident I was in (some were still visible on me when I first sat down with Gary), and he knew which Doctor / specialist would best be able to treat me. Him and his team were... in contact with me over the year and a half recovery process and all through the settlement process. Great people !!!

Thank You!

I hired Gary because I was too busy with school and unable to handle everything on my own. He was prompt in letting me know he could help me. This office did an excellent job communicating, and answering any questions I had. The receptionist, paralegals (especially Mayra), and Gary really helped w...hen I was curious or needed a check in. They handled two of my cases simultaneously and did a great job organizing both. I felt my settlement was fair and timely. Thank you for everything because I know you all do a lot behind the scenes!

Forever grateful

I am so very grateful to have had Gary Nitsche and all of his staff by my side as I went through one of the most challenging times of my life. The first time I met Gary I was lying in a hospital bed, scared and hurting. Between Gary and Joel I felt 100% confident that my case was in the best hands. ... Not only did they provide me with exceptional professional guidance but also kept my mind at ease by understanding the emotions behind such unexpected events. Their empathy and genuine care meant the world to me. I was able to reach them whenever I needed and they contacted me regularly to keep me informed about my case (for over 2 years). I can not speak highly enough about them! Life can be so uncertain, but having their support made this difficult time easier to endure. I am forever grateful for all of the time and work they put into my case to get the best possible outcome! A thousand times, I thank you!!!!

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.
