An Exceptional Personal Injury Lawyer

Attorney Gerald Schwartz is truly outstanding—especially during life’s most challenging moments. His compassion and understanding shine through as he guides you with care and expertise, even in the aftermath of deeply traumatic events like the September 11 Pentagon attack. Thanks to Attorney Schwa...rtz’s unwavering support, my family and I were able to swiftly and peacefully resolve the issues that disrupted our daily lives, allowing us to move forward with confidence and healing. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your well-being, Mr. Schwartz is the attorney you want by your side. He’s trustworthy, dependable, and fully committed to making your interests his top priority.

GREAT SERVICE!!!!

Working with the Law Offices of Gerald A. Schwartz was a smooth ride from beginning to end. I truly appreciate their professionalism, great service, and most importantly, my case outcome. Not once did I felt like I was going through the process by myself. The staff was always there answering my quest...ions and guiding me through the process. Their patience, caring attitude, and honesty made me feel comfortable to know that they had my best interest. I must say, as a client, you doing your part (having your documentation in order), being attentive, and responsive definitely will contribute to your smooth process. Attorney Schwartz and his staff did not let me down. They fought for me and stood by their policy, “It is our office policy that, at the conclusion of the case, the attorney should not receive more than the client”. So, if you are looking for an honest, caring, and helpful attorney, someone that will fight for you, then choose Gerald A. Schwartz to handle your legal matters.

Knows his stuff; gets results

I had an excellent experience working with Gerald Schwartz and his assistant, Kathy! His expertise enabled me to get a settlement beyond what I expected, and he kept me well informed and handled everything with integrity and thoroughness. He answered all of our questions along the way and updated us ...as we went along. If you want someone who's very experienced, incredibly knowledgable, a straight-shooter and very on top of things, I highly recommend him!

  • 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.
