Family Attorney

Mr Gertell has been our family attorney for over 20 years. If you are looking for someone to be straight forward and not mess around he is your guy. I have referred numerous friends with always a great outcome. His number is programmed in my phone. He always picks up. Always answers my questions. He ...has helped in criminal law and family law.

Horrible

This “man” is an absolutely horrible person. He has been fined and sanctioned by the State bar many times. He files all paperwork with the Court at the last minute. That paperwork is a mess and usually consists of someone else’s previously filed Court paperwork. He will actually yell at you if he has... a chance to question you. Yes, yelling at someone in the Courtroom in front of the Judge. This is how he conducts himself as an Attorney. This is a holier than though person who expects everyone to keel to him because he is an Attorney. An absolutely unkind and inhuman person. Unless you are his client in which he will happily tell you anything you want to hear in order to get paid. He will file Continuance after Continuance for Court. He skates around the rules and laws to get what he wants. Beware and stay far away from this person. As of today he now has another case in front of the State Bar. Possibly a civil case against him as well. He is a slimy person and will stop at nothing to make money off anyone he can.
