Contract Dispute

Gerry helped us resolve a contract dispute over a payment clause in a asset purchase agreement. Having spent over 100k on several attorneys over the last ten years I have some experience with good attorneys and not so good ones, Gerry is one of the good ones. He negotiated a settlement for us that wa...s fair but on our terms. His advice was clear and concise and his judgment was sound.

Excellent experience

Our company was assigned Gerald Kobluk on a very sensitive insurance case. I sincerely appreciated Gerald's attention to detail, accessibility, wit, efficiency, accommodating staff, and ability around the mediation table. Thanks to Gerry, we were able to walk away without a trial and well under poli...cy limits. I highly recommend this attorney.

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.
