About Henry
Biography
Early in his career Henry practiced Family Law, before transitioning to a practice that fulfilled his desire to serve indigent populations. In order to bring that dream to life, Henry volunteered months of his time at the Santa Barbara Public Defenders Office, before accepting a Deputy Public Defender position at the Kern County Public Defender. Having negotiated thousands of felony and misdemeanor plea deals, and litigated nine jury trials, Henry’s experience is a testament to his work ethic and commitment to excellence. Gereis Law is the embodiment of “client centered, caring counsel”, we treat every case like it’s our closest family member’s liberty that is at stake! We are committed to you, our client, above all else, at every stage of the litigation process. From our first encounter, you will leave with no doubt that we care deeply about your freedom, and we will fight to protect it.

An attorney with authenticity, compassion, and grit!
It goes without saying that Mr. Gereis is a phenomenal human being. From my consultation with him to my emails/phone calls with him, Mr. Gereis was extremely supportive, informative, relatable, and far from being on a high horse. I was panicking about my misdemeanor case and all that could have gone ...

Great lawyer
He was very caring and straight to the point , gave me many options. Got my case reviewed and ultimately dismissed by my second court date even during this pandemic, never tried to push my court date a million times like others ! Definitely worth it.

DUI
As any person in my situation would panic on what to expect as their next step after a huge mistake. Mr.Gereis’ staff is available 24/7 for a free consultation and that really helped out my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend Mr.Gereis.
