2021 Gerson & Schwartz Law Firm Merit Scholarship - $2500 Education Scholarship

As highly trained and experienced trial lawyers we are grateful for the education and training teachers who encouraged and supported us provided. Without education and practical training we would lack the tools to practice our profession.

Our personal injury law practice is focused on helping families who have suffered from the negligence of others. For decades we have protected and enforced the rights to crime victims against wrongdoers and their enablers. As part of this work we support the victim's rights movement in the United States and worldwide.

We recognize the burdens and challenges crime victims have to meet and overcome. Thus, we wish to create a scholarship program to benefit students who have been crime victims. A brief written account of the impact on the victim's family should be submitted by applicants.

Mr Nick Gerson has been extremely attentive (even on weekends!) and has been more than willing to take time to answer all my questions. His receptionist (Suzanne) and paralegal (Carla) are courteous, friendly and highly efficient in all matters. Mr Gerson's diligence lead to a very quick resolution of my case. I am more than pleased to recommend you seek him as your attorney. You will not regret you did!! G.I.B.

Mr. Gerson and all his team gave to my case the careful and professional attention it needed from the beginning to end. Unfortunately, a year ago I was involved in a car accident on the victim side. I have appreciation for the good service that was given to me and my situation. Thanks. Cales & Mr. Hyde (Carlos Andrés García Jiménez), Google User

I hired Gerson & Schwartz, PA for a personal injury/slip and fall case. Phil Gerson, Nick Gerson, and Ed Schwartz were awesome! They were very professional, supportive, and informative through the whole process. I was amazed at how much time and effort they put into presenting my case. They fought hard for me and I am very happy with the outcome. I love these guys and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an attorney who will look out for your best interest and fight hard for what you deserve. Deb Betts, Google User
