Powerful lawyer

From the moment I first consulted with Mr. Robert, I knew I was in capable hands. His expertise and knowledge of the law were evident, and it was clear that he had a deep understanding of the nuances of my case. His ability to analyze complex legal issues and provide clear and concise explanations ...helped me navigate through the legal process. Not only he is an incredibly skilled attorney, but his intelligence and sharpness of mind are truly impressive. He was responsive to my inquiries, promptly returning my calls and emails. His ability to communicate complex legal concepts in a way that I was able to understand I am beyond thankful

Brady violation

Gary and Robert explained it to me and I understand it now. I was charged with my 3rd dui and unfortunately it was bad. (I finished my 28 day Inpatient program Robert found for me and Gary’s old client Marc has been my AA sponsor for 4 months!) Anyway, Gary got discovery from the district attorney an...d it said there was video. Gary requested the video which never came. They sent a letter to the judge telling him to order the video. On the court date the judge rescheduled my case but told the district attorney they had to give my lawyers the video. So, yesterday we had our court date and the district attorney said there was no video. So Brady violation means that the district attorney has to turn over anything that shows my innocence. I remember that the the other driver came into my lane. And Gary told the judge that the video existed but that the district attorney saying he couldn’t find it wasn’t good enough because Gary didn’t have the opportunity to try and track the video down himself. The police report said there was video. It was just lost. Gary has had this happen before and was able to get it before. The judge said that the district attorney couldn’t use any evidence that the video would show. I had my trial and Gary kept objecting. I won when the district attorney finished her case. Anyway, I thank Gary, Robert and Brady. Less This review is from a person who hired this attorney. Hired attorney

Highly Effective

Gary and Rob took my case and gave the best defense I could ask for. Robert conducted in-depth research and prepared the best case for my defense. Gary then came to the courtroom on the day of the trial with his charisma on full display and got my charges dropped in full. A true team effort and a job... well done.

Exceptional Lawyer

I hired the Gerstenfield Law Office for defense on two cases for the same incident. Robert represented me in both. He was patient with me, explained everything fully and made me feel "he had my back" at all times. The first case went extremely well, with no jail time!!!! The second case was a bit ...out of the ordinary but Robert's professionalism and his manner of speaking and explaining the facts with all involved got all the charges dismissed!!! I am forever grateful! Thank You Robert!!!!

Thank you!

Robert showed up for me on time and well-prepared twice (got a continuance in January and had to return in March). He displayed a genuine concern and I felt heard and taken care of; the outcome of my March date was definitely ideal. I received the best possible outcome due to Robert and his connect...ions, articulation in the court room, and persistence in ensuring that I came out satisfied. Needless to say, I am very satisfied with Robert's council and would absolutely recommend him to others!

Relationship: Co-worker

"Robert is an amazingly effective and truly gifted litigator and advocate. There is no problem too great or dilemma too difficult that he cannot solve. Among journeymen lawyers, Robert is universally recognized as a master. But, what really distinguishes Robert as among the elite of trial lawyers is the warmth and compassion he brings in resolving the seemingly unsolvable legal issues that many his clients face."
