Blessed to have Dana represent me!

I had a back injury at my previous employment, which was ruled out by my employer's doctor as degenerative! I was in fine health prior to this injury and was able to enjoy my life as a normal person. I found Dana and contacted her with my situation, and she walked me through everything. She was very... professional and sympathetic towards my situation, as well as transparent throughout the whole process. Communication was always handled timely, and if I missed a call there was always an email waiting for me in my inbox. I can definitely say that having Dana represent me made all the difference in the world! My wife and I are thankful, and blessed to have had you represent me Dana! Thank you and I hope you can do for others, what you have done for me!

An extra arm

I first met Dana back in August and everyday since she has without a doubt been a constant voice of reason and support in my case. Mrs. Gerber has been patient understanding and one hell cat of a lawyer. I appreciate everything she has done thus far and I am grateful and confident in our efforts to c...ome out successful in this ordeal. The only complaint I have is there are not enough lawyers out there like her. Thank you Dana for being an extra arm in helping me through my case this far.

A Renewed Piece of Mind

My patience and sanity been tested over the past 11 months as I have struggled with the unknown following several injuries and consequent recoveries suffered from a fall at work. One shining star throughout this unforgettable journey has been my attorney, Dana Gerber. I am taking this opportunity... to express my gratitude and satisfaction with the performance, support, professionalism and determination of Dana Gerber. Throughout my case, she was always been quick to respond, addressed all of my concerns, and answered all of my questions - some often not directly related to my case. Following settlement, an outcome I believe to be fair and unattainable without her service, Ms. Gerber has continued her service by doing everything within her power to ensure that the next step(s) in the process go as smooth as possible for me. Not only has she been patient, understanding, compassionate, and forthright with me, but she has taken an aggressive stance ensuring my interests and concerns were addressed. Most of all, Mr. Gerber has listened to me. She has allowed me to vent and speak my mind without interruption or judgment. Not once was I made to feel that the “procedure or practice” took precedence over my best interests. Dana, I will happily recommend your services when and where applicable, and of course, thank for what you’ve done for me. Like oil and water, pride and humility do not mix; however, in your case, they blend perfectly. Continued success, and best wishes to you and yours.

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.
