The Best!

Gerry did a pre-nup & will for me, and if all lawyers were like him, the profession would be held in high regard.

Very professional

Being a French citizen with a specific problem that was a little bit complicated and pretty unusual under American law, Mr. Gerry Wendrovsky handled my case in a very diligent way. From the first moment I talked to him, I had a good feeling about how Mr. Gerry Wendrovsky would solve my problem, indee...d he did solve it even though he never handled a similar case. It was done in a short time and in a very professional and detail oriented way. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr. Gerry Wendrovsky to friends or family members. Sophie P.

Reliable and Knowledgeable Estate Lawyer

I am an experienced lawyer practicing in an entirely different field. My mother and I were referred to Gerry Wendrovsky to handle drafting a Will and Power of Attorney for my mother. There were some complexities that he handled very well and competently. In particular, he anticipated possible futur...e issues that could arise. He was also highly ethical focusing solely, as he should, in my mother's best interests.

Good experience with real estate

Gerry represented us in a NYC coop purchase in July 2011. This transaction was conducted without a broker, and was more complex than is typical. Gerry was a pleasure to work with, has great office support, stayed in constant communication and was responsive throughout. He is knowledgeable in the deta...ils, and has a strong understanding of the market and the processes. His office is small, the service is big. We would not hesitate to engage his office in the future and recommend him for similar and related legal/professional services.

Excellent Willl and Probate Attorney

Gerry Wendrovsky handled a somewhat complex probate situation in a professional, responsive and timely manner. In addition, his location on the Upper West Side is extremely convenient for anyone who lives in the area. His office staff was outstandingly helpful.
