Proudly Stands up for What is Right!!

Alex took a personal interest in my case and decided to help me when others turned me away. The Gertsburg Law Firm made me feel like part of their team and even though all of our communication was done from a long distance they never forgot about me! I hope one day to meet the team in person just to... say THANK YOU!!! The team worked long hours on my case doing whatever they could to get results. Alex even made himself available at night and on weekends to accommodate my travel for work. The knowledge, understanding and professionalism I experienced working with Alex and his team is beyond compare! I would recommend their services to anyone and will always call him when I need legal services! Alex's team worked hard to build my case and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process fostering a relationship of trust and respect. I cannot thank them enough!

Quick, efficient, effective, and reliable

Alex Gertsburg has been helping me with all of my legal matters, business and personal, for over ten years. He always responds quickly to my legal needs with answers that are clear and concise. Alex truly values his customers time and money, and always goes the extra mile to provide effective counse...ling so that we can make informed decisions. I would recommend Alex for any sort of consulting, his network is extensive and he is always able to provide great service.

Law suit for commission that was due

Alex was introduced to me by another Business Broker. My company is MBA Business Brokerage, Inc. I am the President and founder. We have specialized in Business Brokerage since 1981. Over that period of time we have had many occasion to use an attorney. Attorneys are the same as all other professio...ns. It is the 80 / 20 rule. 80 % are mediocre or bad. 20% are good to excellent. Alex Gertsburg is in the top 1% as far as professionalism, knowledge of the law, informing his client of all the details that are going on, he gives time tables, he listens to a client, he takes advice from his client, and he has the ability to negotiate a fair settlement. I will be using him any time I need good representation. There are only a few attorneys that recognize that a client requires a response to his calls. Alex, without fail, responds on a timely basis. Thank you for getting me a great settlement in a very short time frame.

Fantastic Attorney

Alex says what he means and he means what he says. He has represented my companies for a decade now on a wide range of matters, both in the courtroom and in the boardroom. We rely on him happily and repeatedly.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Alex Gertsburg is among the most intelligent and client-focused lawyers I have ever had the fortune to be associated with. He brings an unparalleled and enthusiastic approach to understanding clients' problems and developing effective solutions. I have personally recommended over ten prospective clients to Attorney Gertsburg because of my confidence in his advocacy. I further appreciate his commitment to serving the veterans' community of which he is a part, in light of his military service in the Middle East. As a fellow attorney, my trust in Alex is so great that I would seek out Alex's advice and counsel for personal matters."

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.
