Amazing Man, Lawyer, and Friend!
Due to an injury sustained, our family didn't know what to do or where to turn. Like others who deal with a sudden injury and life altering situations we initially hired someone out of haste. We quickly learned that it wasn't the best decision and at that point began to research and look for another attorney. This is where Gerry entered our life. He listened to us on the phone and was very straight forward, yet very caring and understanding. At a later time he came to our home for a sit down and we knew instantly we would have him represent us. From that meeting we realized that he truly understood the injuries sustained and the real impact that the injuries would have. The prior attorney seemed to just be familiar with the name of the injury and knew it would bring in money....this journey was far deeper than a dollar bill. It completely rocked and changed our entire lives. The entire process lasted about two years. It was overwhelming at times, but Gerry, Denis, and Chris are some of the most intelligent, caring, straight shooting people I have ever met. Regardless of how much time passes we will always consider them friends in our hearts. While it took my family to make the mistake of hiring someone out of fear and haste....please don't make the same mistake. Call Gerry and when you reflect back on your journey I hope this review comes to mind and helped you to avoid the pitfalls we initially made in our journey.
