Thorough and caring
Gerry took his time with my case. He was able to refer me to someone who could help. Even though he couldn’t take my case, he took time to explain the process to me and was incredibly kind. I would absolutely recommend him. He is incredibly knowledgable.

"Gerry and I first met in 1991 as law school classmates. Later we worked together for several years at our first jobs out of law school, and have remained in close personal and professional contact with each other since. Gerry's professional trajectory has led him to become a highly accomplished and knowledgeable expert in various areas of the law. Since returning to his hometown a few years ago, he has returned to where he began his career and to a professional practice in which he has over 20 years of experience: focusing on representing folks who are injured due to the fault of others. Gerry and his family are solid and committed members of the St. Louis community, and as the son of immigrants, Gerry knows from his and his family's first hand experience that service to others is the noblest form of dedication to one's community. I endorse Gerry and wish him the best of luck and continued success in his pursuit of justice for his clients."
