Gertsburg is the most trusted name in Northeast Ohio

My dealership has been working with Gertsburg Law since 2014. We have used them for contract review, compliance, inter-company agreements and litigation. They have always been thorough and responsive. They have a strong understanding of auto industry laws and regulations. They are a valuable resource... to my company and seem to constantly exceed the high standards for which they are known.

The best Attorney your business could ask for

I have dealt with Alex for many years now, and he has always come through. I never have to double guess his advise and have grown accustomed to the fact that bringing Alex in on any matter, large or small, I can have piece of mind. I contact Alex, and rest easy. He and his team tackles the issue i...mmediately and delivers results.

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.
