Jerome R Geraghty

Jerome was consulted and hired to fight a traffic warrant issued due to a failure to appear in civil court for a reckless driving traffic citation. Jerome is truly a top-notch attorney. Within a day of contacting and hiring Jerome, he had gone to court on my behalf to enter an appearance as my attorn...ey, taken care of fees, obtained a courtesy clearance on my outstanding warrant, and scheduled my arraignment. Prior to this, Jerome consulted with me to determine the facts and the outcome I was looking for. Based on these, he was able to give me an on-the-spot assessment of my case and thoughts on the best legal strategy to pursue. He had a hearing (arraignment) scheduled within a few days at a time he made sure would work for me, and skillfully navigated the legal process such that the eight points on my license was knocked down to four. In the courtroom, Jerome is a reassuring presence able to present and weight the pros and cons of pleas on the spot. Jerome leaves no stone unturned in his work on a case and also no loose end. He even researched any impact the points might have on my insurance and followed up with me to make sure I had been able to take the final step of replacing my license. Jerome is quick and highly analytical in assessing a case, yet imparts a calm, measured, and reassuring presence, a difficult balance to strike in a stressful and demanding profession. He combines substantive knowledge of the law with an orientation to the practice that treats clients as equals. Unlike many attorneys, Jerome does more listening than talking when it comes to interaction with a client. Hiring Jerome is not just hiring an attorney. It is instead like hiring a good friend you've known for years who genuinely cares about and respects his clients. Jerome's combination of substantive knowledge, analytical prowess and a unique orientation to the practice rare in attorneys makes hiring him all the more worthwhile.
