Thirty-seven years of practice brings us to the 300+ jury trial hallmark matched by very few lawyers. "This record evidences our determination to get a full cup of justice for our clients. We won't cave in and settle unless its fair and our client wants to settle the case. The business and insurance companies know we won’t let up until our client gets justice" said Phil Gerson.
