Happy Client

I'm very pleased with how quickly, thoroughly and professionally Eric Gerard handled my case against the driver who hit me. Mr. Gerard's resourcefulness overcame obstacles that a less dedicated attorney might have seen as a reason not to take the case. He has also been remarkably responsive to all ...my questions and concerns. I'm very happy to recommend him and his firm.

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.
