Attorney Gerard A. Falzone, now 51 years of age, was born in New York City,
but grew up in the Los Angeles, California area.   Gerard has been fiercely
interested in justice from an early age, and decided in the 3rd grade to
become an attorney, to fight for fairness and justice for his clients.   Wanting
to obtain the best education possible, he applied himself to his studies, and
earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from U.C.L.A. in 1978,
graduating Magna Cum Laude.   As a result of his superior academic
performance, Gerard was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa and Pi Gamma Mu
honor societies.

Immediately after college, Gerard was accepted to the U.C. Berkeley (Boalt
Hall) School of Law; however, he deferred his admission for one year to
obtain real world work experience.  Gerard obtained a teaching credential
for adult education and taught adult school at a Los Angeles high school for
one year, which he found very enjoyable and emotionally rewarding.  He
determined that there is nothing better than teaching individuals who truly
want to learn and to better themselves.

Gerard moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1980 to begin his law school
education at Boalt Hall, from which he graduated in June 1982.   Passing the
California Bar on his first attempt, Gerard began his legal practice in
December 1982.   In law school, Gerard found family law fascinating, both for
its interesting legal issues, and also because of the psychological turmoil
that most individuals face when dealing with such a life-changing event as
divorce.   Therefore, Gerard began to practice primarily family law from the
beginning of his legal career.  

While in law school, Gerard discovered Alameda, California, loved its
Victorian architecture and small town charm, and moved to Alameda in 1980,
where he has lived ever since.   In 1985 Gerard moved his legal practice to
Alameda.   In 2005, Gerard opened a second office in San Rafael, California to
better serve his Marin County and North Bay clients. His two office locations
in the central Bay Area have made it possible for Gerard to represent clients
in the Courts in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, Napa, Solano,
San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties.

In his 24 years of family law legal practice, Gerard has had the pleasure of
representing very many good people going through the difficult financial
and emotional circumstances of divorce, and has done his best to resolve
their legal problems as reasonably, amicably, quickly, and as inexpensively
as possible.   His many satisfied clients attest to how well Gerard has
attained his legal practice goals.

Gerard enjoys giving back to the community, and has been for many years a
member of Lawyers In The Library, a program which offers free legal advice
to the public at area libraries.  He is also a member of the Alameda County
Bar Association, the Marin County Bar Association, the First Presbyterian
Church of Oakland, the Kiwanis Club of Alameda, the Bay Club Marin, the
Commonwealth Club of California, the National Trust for Historic
Preservation, and the Union of Concerned Scientists.
