"Gerritt is widely recognized as one of the finest criminal defense lawyers in San Mateo County. He is hardworking, experienced and fights like hell for each of his clients. He is a no-nonsense attorney who takes cases to jury trial and WINS on a regular basis.

If you are facing criminal charges and need a true advocate who will protect your rights, make your goal his own and obtain the best possible outcome, hire Gerritt. You won't get a better result with any other lawyer, period. "
