Accident Assistance

I was in a car accident in 2009 and had to have considerable therapy. I had been a loyal customer of a single insurance firm for decades and the other party in the accident was at fault. Nevertheless, I needed help understanding the process and navigating the insurance system to get the therapy I n...eeded. Jacob provided me with that help at a particularly vulnerable time and I was able to receive the treatment I needed to get back to a healthy, active life. I might very well have had a different outcome without his caring assistance. There are no words for such support!

Exceptional Personal Injury Lawyer

Jacob Gent was a very effective advocate for me in an auto injury case that took a great deal of time , effort and skill on his part. I am pleased with the final outcome and feel I was fortunate that Jacob was my lawyer during the long process back to health and to a final settlement. I found Jac...ob to be caring, patient, knowledgeable, and he kept me informed as the case progressed. I highly recommend Jacob.

Outsanding Attorney and even better person!

Although we did not meet under the best circumstances, it was was a HUGE pleasure working with Jacob. He is very knowledgeable in what he does and made me feel comfortable with my situation. If it was not for Jacob and the firm he represents, I would not have gotten the wonderful results that we did.... And for that I will always be grateful for his intelligence, integrity, and for the caring, considerate, respectful professional that he is...

I knew immediately that I had made the right choice. He exudes confidence!

It was a car accident that led me to seek Jacob Gent's assistance. I knew immediately that I had made the right choice. Jacob has many qualities that make him excellent at what he does, but the one that stands out, the one characteristic not everyone has, is empathy. He understands exactly what you a...re going through, more times than not Jacob knew and/or explained things better than the doctors that were treating me did. His confidence was very comforting "I WILL get what I am asking for" and he did! As a former claims adjuster, Jacob understands all aspects of a personal injury case. Jacob and his assistant Jenny were very proffesional and always treated me with respect. I was well informed throughout the whole process. When I was lost in a confused mess of doctor appointments and therapy, Jacob was there to steer me in the right direction with his dedication and compassion. Jacob Gent was there for me every step of the way and I will be forever grateful.

If you are ever injured in an accident, I hope you find this level of integrity and care in your legal dealings

My first introduction to Richard Adler occurred several years ago in my workplace. Richard and his family were weekly customers of mine, and it is there where I first developed an appreciation for Mr. Adler's warmth, kindness and intelligence. When I was involved in a car accident, I was extrem...ely naive of all the circumstances and responsibilities to myself and those who were to help me to recover from my injuries. At a point in my recovery, while feeling overwhelmed with mounting medical costs and the ever-present questions from the insurance companies involved, I asked the advice of my general practitioner. My doctor, a very well respected and connected member of the medical community, was always quick to give me great referrals when it came to other modalities of healing. So when he handed me a paper with Richard's name and number written across it, I knew right away that I wanted to work with Mr. Adler. I hadn't seen Richard for years, but immediately he recognized my voice and was happy to hear from me. We caught up about our families, then got down to business. Richard reviewed my case. On the pure basis of our past relationship and his desire to see that I was taken care of, he decided to have his firm take the case. I was shortly thereafter introduced to Mr. Jacob Gent. Richard explained that Jacob was the newest addition to his team of legal minds and it was explained to me that Mr. Gent's background and training involved many years work with an insurance company as an adjuster himself. His experience and presence made me feel instinctively confident that I was making the right decision. He quickly identified my core goals and needs as his client. This overarching clarity would come to inform and support my case's success. Jacob understood the duress I was struggling with of trying to get better while dealing with the legalities involved in an accident injury case. Mr. Gent promptly took the burden of worry off my shoulders. "I just want you to concentrate on getting better Rick," was the mantra that Jacob repeated throughout. Mr. Gent was in contact with me on a regular basis; checking on my welfare, updating me on the progress of the case. Jacob's thoroughness and dedication was acknowledged by the in-depth personal contacts he made with all the doctors and therapists involved in my getting better. When it came time to settle the case, Jacob succinctly laid out the strengths and weaknesses of my claim. Staying true to the core goals he had helped me to identify, he formulated a proposal that was reasonable and fair. My claim was accepted, my financial obligations were met and I was given the resources to continue to my work toward a full recovery. I want to thank all the staff of Adler/Giersch for all their hard work and the compassion that they displayed toward my situation. I want to also thank Richard for his integrity and his keen sense of what is right. Last but not least, I want to thank you, Jacob, for standing by me and seeing me through this most difficult time. I would never wish the experience of being injured in a car accident on anyone. But I would hope that everyone who finds themselves in that position and needs the support of an effective, tough, legal counsel, is able to find the level of comfort and protection I found with Jacob Gent at Adler/Giersch.
