Hilary P. Gerzhoy - Highly Recommended

I hired Hilary to defend me against a bar complaint. Hilary expertly handled my case from the intake interview through the successful conclusion of the matter. She was clear with me about her defense strategy, knew the complaint process and relevant case law, and was personally familiar with bar c...ounsel. Hilary is well respected in the ethics bar and is a frequent commentator on developments and current events in the law. I could go on, but suffice it to say that I will recommend only Hilary if I am ever asked by a colleague seeking ethics or professional responsibilty counsel.

Great Attorney!

I hired Mrs. Gerzhoy to represent me in an adverse matters hearing with the DC Bar, and she couldn't have done a better job. She is extremely knowledgeable in the procedural and substantive aspects of various professional responsibility matters. She was very thorough with her work, clear with her ar...guments, and executed our strategy perfectly. I am extremely pleased with her work and would gladly recommend her to anyone in need of similar services.

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.
