I can tell you this is a man that loves his job, and it shows!

My name is [removed by Avvo]. I was in a terrible accident in May 2011. Mr. Lefebvre was referred to my wife and I by her best friend, Laura. He told us we have a very strong case from the start. Mr. Lefebvre worked timelessly on our case for over 2 years. He took a sincere interest in my medica...l and financial needs from day one. He went way beyond what any attorney, or friend for that matter would ever be expected to do. We are forever greatful for he and his crew's hard work and compassion. I can tell you this is a man who loves his job, and it shows!

Attorney referral

I was in a tragic auto accident over 2 years ago. My case was complicated and had alot of pieces to the puzzle. I wasn't sure just where we were headed, hearing we had a good case or just how long the case would go on. Of course, hoping it would not last, as it seemed forever.There had to be some int...ense investigation in locating some not obvious insurance policies that should be in effect for the other driver. Well, let me tell you this,at mediation I was pleasantly impressed and knew only after a few minutes I definately had the right attorney!! He really was impressive and the race was on, he came out like Mighty Mouse with guns ablazing!!Before we even began, the mediator said I was in good hands and my attorney was way above average, he was RIGHT!!! If I should ever need legal counsel,I hope I never do, but if I did, the attorney I would go to is, yes you guessed it, Gerald Lefevbre!!!

Shirley & Donald Wildes

My name is Shirley Wildes. I was referred to a lawyer named Gerald Lefebvre by a longtime friend of mine. At first I was a little skeptical because Mr. Lefebvre was so calm and quiet. I was totally taken by surprise by the way he came out with smoking guns fighting like a cocky banny rooster. I...n court Gerald was a very professional lawyer strutting his stuff. He's a very knowledgeable man and I dearly thank him and his crew for being there and believing in me standing by my husband and me through the last four years and three months. I have already and will definitely keep recommending him because he is an excellent lawyer and new found friend. God Bless and thank you Jerry from the bottom of our hearts. You are rated 100% in my book.

  • 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.
