Highly Skilled Litigator

Gerald’s respect in the courtroom speaks volumes on his abilities as a trial lawyer. His track record of taking difficult cases to trial and earning acquittals is impeccable and was the reason I hired him. He advocates zealously, and he takes a personal position in your life not only as your attorn...ey, but as your friend. Hire him, you won’t regret it.

Fantastic Lawyer

Gerald is a highly skilled litigator and a very good attorney to hire for sensitive cases. He was a pleasure to work with, and the outcome produced was by far the absolute best that could have been hoped for. I highly recommend Gerald and his firm.

He helped me like a friend.

True professional. Believe me when I tell you this, you need him if you want the result. The moment he took my case, I worried no more. It wasn't because he sugarcoated his words.( he never once did). More you talk to him, you will understand how talented he is at his game and he doesn't accept lo...osing. He will try and try until he gets the result that I want.

Gerald got the charges against me dropped!

Gerald Bublitz and his team were incredible. They stayed ahead of my case, addressing aspects before they even happened, and worked hard on every portion. His attention to detail caught inaccuracies in the prosecutions case and got the it dropped at the preliminary. I would recommend Bublitz to any...one with legal trouble and feel fantastic knowing, if trouble arises, I have the absolute best defense with Bublitz law.

Great Experience!

Great experience. I felt confident about the situation the entire time. I was pleased to work with him, he is very confident and I felt comfortable with his ability to do what he said he would. It was just an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend Bublitz Law Office to someone who was in... trouble.

"I endorse this lawyer. Gerald is well-prepared and persuasive on a level above all other criminal defense attorneys. He commands respect from judges and opposing counsel. I represented a victim in a criminal case and, when I was speaking with the prosecutor about reaching a resolution, he said, "I'm going to try this case. The other attorney is [name omitted]. It's not like I'm up against Gerald Bublitz or anything.""

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.
