EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS!

Jerry exceeded our expectations. Not only does he embody a wealth of knowledge and insight, Jerry is a strong man of character and compassion. He kept us informed of the status of the case and kept us educated on the process such that we had good decision-making tools. The staff of Garau-Germano w...ere also of Jerry's caliber: kind, patient, responsive and timely. On a personal note, Jerry, thank you for helping us navigate such unpleasant waters to an outcome that will be a great help going forward. Sincerely, Kris & Jim

Excellent Firm

I was referred to the Garau Germano law firm by a local firm outside of Indianapolis. Jerry Garau is very professional and easy to access. He responds quickly to questions and explained the process of a malpractice suit well. Jerry and his firm were able to settle our claim in the most favorable ...of conditions. The firm is very efficient and kept expenses to a minimum. I would highly recommend Jerry and his firm to represent you in a malpractice suit.

Excellent

Mr. Garau did an amazing job on our case. Our case had been ongoing for several years, and Jerry diligently worked on it. He was always communicating with us and explaining things in depth as we went along. He is a kind, compassionate and intelligent lawyer. These traits are hard to find in this day ...and age, but Jerry really went above and beyond. Thanks Mr. Garau for all of your hard work.

Stars Infinity

There are not enough stars to rate the excellence and superb professionalism of Garau Germano, P.C. Law Firm. Life can change in an instant. My husband and I were victims of an automobile accident and medical malpractice. I suffered a spine injury, which ended my career and life as I knew it. We foun...d ourselves in a position to seek trustworthy and competent legal representation. Almost immediately, we received a plethora of legal advertisements through the mail. Our hometown attorney highly recommended Garau Germano, P.C. Law Firm. Surprisingly, this firm had not sent us an advertisement. We were happily impressed and felt drawn to their tact. Jerry Garau, Attorney at Law, is top notch! He is wise, kind, compassionate, and has true grit! He thoughtfully guided us through an extremely difficult time. Through his perseverance, we have hope in our future. We have been granted an extremely positive settlement with final resolution. Thank you, Jerry Garau for exceptional counsel! We are ever grateful for you and all at Garau Germano, P.C.. Respectfully, Lonnie and Tamra.

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.
