Thank you Jacquelyn

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jacquelyn Gerlach personally for her hard work. She made an extremely rough time in my life manageable, and provided me with me closure I needed on a very tough case I was presented with. She is professional, compassionate, and patient. I am forever gra...teful to Jacquelyn for her professionalism. When I work with Jacquelyn I find that she is beyond instructive and helpful when guiding me through some challenging questions and paperwork that come up for best care coordination and access. She’s also very good at answering and getting back to you much faster than other attorneys I have worked with in the past. I cannot recommend her strategic and practical insight enough. Huge success working with her and I recommend her to everyone I know. I can honestly say that Jacquelyn is one of the best attorneys in Chesterfield County.

Amazing

Jackie has helped me through so much with my case. She took out time to understand everything I was going through and helped me with legal advice through my entire situation. She made sure justice was served for my incident and helped me feel safe!

Divorce

Ms. Gerlach helped me through my divorce. She was the most supportive, knowledgeable attorney I could have asked for. She saved me during an awful time . I will forever be grateful for her because of her compassion as well as her wisdom .

She is the real deal!

Jacquelyn Gerlach is an awesome attorney. Very experienced in what she does. She spoke to us personally. Not some secretary or paralegal. She handled the matter in a very professional manner. She gave us our options and let us decide what was best. Very friendly and was always willing to fight ...for us, giving us the best chance in court. I would recommend her to represent anyone in court.

Altogether Satisfied

I would highly recommend Jacquelyn Gerlach to anyone faced with a motor vehicle violation in Virginia. After I was cited for reckless driving by speed (82 mph in a 70 mph zone), she kindly provided representation that was professional and got the results I was hoping for, namely a reduced charge of d...efective equipment. She was very responsive to my questions and at key junctures explained the nuances what was likely to happen. In addition, she helped me to recognize that I didn't necessarily need to have my speedometer checked or to take a defensive driving course, and thus she saved me time and money.
