Responsive and Knowledgeable

Kevin represented our son in a criminal matter. Our son put himself in a bad place where it could have impacted him for life. Kevin navigated the legal waters with professionalism, knowledge and extreme patience! My sons record is now clear…I truly believe the outcome would have been way diff...erent if we did not retain Kevin and his firm,

Awesome results

Hired Gaertner for a speeding ticket that was gonna affect my job. He greatly reduced the ticket for me and was well worth hiring.

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.
