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.

Prestigous
Gerry worked hard on my behalf. Kept up great communication during my claim and fought hard for me.

Professional and Trustworthy
Gerry took the time to listen and understand my story and objectives. He was thoughtful and patient in his approach without jumping to quick solutions and actions. He was clear what he could and couldn't do and was always upfront that he could not promise a specific outcome but a fair analysis and strategy to create the best outcome. Great experience.

Better than excelle nt
I have consulted Gerard on three unrelated topics for which I retained him, and he has always given correct advice in a very timely manner. A pleasure to have in my corner when I need him.

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.
