Jerry is awesome. During the holidays, I was served with allegations from my former fiancé. I didn’t know what to do. I was looking for a new place and new employment. Being served with such allegations was overwhelming to say the least. I called Jerry. He didn’t pick up but he called me back the sam...e day already having background knowledge of the situation. He mentored to me that the situation was not as dire as it seemed, help prepare me for what was to expect in court, and negotiated effectively the best possible solution. A dismal! Thank you Jerry.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Knowledgeable, Professional & Personable.

We are extremely relieved that we hired Jerry Von Gruben to represent our daughter in a criminal case with a VOP. He was able to mitigate the case favorably and substantially minimized her penalties. As the other reviews in this site have attested, his knowledge and skills are unmatched. He came high...ly recommended by another attorney that is a friend of my family’s. From the moment we hired him, we immediately felt a sense of relief knowing that our daughter was in the best hands. That feeling never left us. He is an expert in his field who is kind, patient and 100% down to earth.

Couldn’t of had a better attorney on my side!!!!!

I don't even know where to start as I have so many wonderful things to say about Mr. Von Gruben and his ability in the courtroom. I was referred to him from another attorney that I know extremely well, and because of my close relationship with him; I know I would of only been placed in the best hands... possible for my situation. Jerry has been a life saver throughout this whole process and couldn't of been any more honest with me but at the same time he still found a way to respect my wishes. The most important thing I noticed with Jerry though was his knowledge of the law and how it plays out in my situation. I am eternally grateful for his time and would recommend him without reservation. Thank you Jerry!!!!

COULD NOT ASK FOR BETTER

Jerry was professional and friendly from day one. He was 100% up front and honest with me and maintained a positive attitude that kept my spirits up until everything was settled. Jerry took on my first case, then a second in another county shortly after and could not have settled both more seemlessly.... He knew exactly how to handle everything and executed exactly that. Everything was handled swiftly and effectively, taking far less time than anticipated. He's great with people in and outside the court room and I honestly cannot thank him enough for what he did for me. Jerry was a God sent for me and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance.
