I had several law firms contact me after my accident wanting to represent me...but after I met Jerry I knew immediately he was the lawyer for me. He explained everything clearly, explained the options and every single detail in my case played out exactly how he said it would. From the court case to the lawsuit. His knowledge is second to none with over 30 years of experience. He helped me thru the process with complete confidence and I also received the maximum amount for my lawsuit!

Let me start by saying that Gerald got my case dismissed. I went to Gerald for assistance with my DUI case. Gerald was very up front with me and managed expectations very well without sugar coating it too much. I have worked with other lawyers who I feel tell you what you want to hear in order to get your business but don't give you a realistic picuture of what can be done. This is not the case with Mr. Stahl. He was forthright and spoke candidly. He constantly kept in contact with me and did a phenomenal job keeping me in the loop and returning/answering all of my calls. He was always prompt and prepared for my court dates and his fees were more than reasonable. That being said it is hard to put a price on freedom and no matter what he charged I feel it would be fair for the service and representation I got. In the end Gerald exceeded my expectations and my case was dismissed. This turned out better than either of us thought it would. Underpromise and overdeliver. That's his motto.

Mr. Stahl was excellent in dealing with my case. Very personable, knowledgable, and always available to answer any questions. Got my charges dropped to the best possible case scenario. Highly recommended!

Mr. Stahl's knowledge of the system and his years of experience are invaluable! Justice was served, I learned my lesson and my sentence was drastically reduced.

Jerry was able to help us with a difficult case in which other peers had recommended him not to even take but he took a chance on us anyways and we are very happy with the settlement outcome!

I called Jerry after I had had surgery, three days in the hospital and a week in a rehab facility. Because I couldn't put any weight on my leg he graciously came to my house. He took the time to explain the process in a personal injury procedure. Jerry kept me informed on the progress of the case. He was thorough and and accommodating. I would recommend him to anyone in the same situation.

Mr. Stahl’s did good job plea-bargaining my traffic ticket. He is a quick study, clearly knows this area of the law. He appears to be a natural litigator.

He is so kind and humble. And he know his stuff. I had 2 counts of accident causing permanent bodily damage and after the pre trial he had them dropped and only tickets were issued. Couldn't have been happier. So thankful I found Gerry! Hopefully I won't ever need a lawyer AGAIN but if I do he's in my phone on speed dial!! Thank you Gerry for all you did and knowing how to be great at what you do!
