Effective and Professional

We were happy to find Jerry Bohart who helped us with several financial issues and revised our trusts and wills. He is professional and up to date on changes in the law. In addition, Jerry and his staff are pleasant, courteous and efficient.

Highly Recommend!

I interviewed several attorneys before deciding to go with Gerry. I have absolutely no regrets! He was very responsive in answering questions and giving guidance. He was extremely knowledgeable in his field and always a true professional. He went above and beyond consistently and I truly appreciated ...his kind and calming demeanor during this challenging process. Additionally, his administrative staff was wonderful and always helpful and caring. It was a pleasure working with Gerry.

Professional, Thorough and Reliable

Jerry prepared the living trust for my husband and me. He covered topics and questions we'd never even thought of. We can recommend his services with absolutely no reservations.

Best Attorney!

Gerald hands down is the best attorney I have ever had. I highly recommend him. His administrative staff is very courteous and professional. He is extremely knowledgable and is prepared to fight for you. He made me feel like I was family. He is honest, extremely understanding and without his ...experience and knowledge, I would have never been able to get back on my feet financially. His communication style is clear, precise and he is always responsive. From the moment I came in not knowing which way to turn he guided me in the right direction. Even to this day, years after he successfully closed my case, he and his staff continue to be there for me relating to legal questions. There are not enough words to express how happy and impressed I am with Gerald Bohart and his staff. Thank you Gerald!!

Bankruptcy and debt lawyer | Feb 29

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Jerry is a highly experienced, first-rate bankruptcy and estate planning lawyer. I worked for Jerry as a law school intern and as a law clerk before I became licensed to practice. I was truly fortunate to have Jerry as a professional mentor early in my legal career. I can honestly say I would not be the lawyer I am today had it not been for the important lessons Jerry taught me. Jerry is the only lawyer in San Diego to whom I feel comfortable referring clients. Simply put, he is one of the best."

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.
