His down to earth, non-judgmental style made my initial meetings very reassuring and comfortable.  His responsiveness as well as guidance in my developing a plan of action that was in my and my child's best interest was such a relief.  He made both my husband and myself feel at ease through a very challenging time. L.E.L. I cannot thank Gerard enough for all that he has done.  He helped make a very challenging situation go as smooth as possible.  I will forever be grateful for his caring and professional service. R.C. We hired Gerard to mediate our divorce case, which involved issues of child custody, child support, spousal support and division of our marital property.   In meeting with us, Gerard made us both feel that our opinions and needs were valid and valued, and he opened up a positive and productive dialogue between us.  Gerard was very patient and sensitive to our concerns and was able to help us to reach an agreement on all issues in our divorce that we both are very happy with.  We are so glad we had Gerard mediate our divorce, rather than spending much more fighting in Court.  We are much happier now and have a better relationship with each other because we were able to settle our differences, rather than have the Court impose its judgment on our lives.   Because we get along well with each other, thankfully our son has adjusted well to the divorce.  We highly recommend Gerard for any couple seeking to mediate their divorce. John G. Maria G. I am a very reasonable person.  Unfortunately my now ex-husband was very controlling and very unreasonable during our marriage, and made my life and the lives of our children very difficult.   During our divorce and at post- Judgment Motion hearings thereafter, my ex-husband tried to maintain his excessive control by refusing to agree to a reasonable resolution of the issues in our case.   Gerard did all that could be done to try to work out a fair settlement of my divorce, but when that proved fruitless, Gerard expertly and aggressively fought in Court for my legal rights and for child custody and visitation Orders that protected my children.   The case turned out very well, and I am extremely satisfied with all that Gerard did for me.   I know that Gerard truly cared about me and about my children, and about making sure that my case was resolved in the best possible way for us.   Gerard was always very patient with me and supportive of me, and was always there to help me when I had a question or concern, or just needed reassurance.  Gerard made the difficult life transition I went through in my divorce much easier for me.   Elsa V. My divorce was very hard on me emotionally.   It brought up a lot of sadness and childhood hurts that I never knew existed.  Gerard was there for me every step of the way, from the beginning until the end, when we reached a very fair settlement and avoided having to go to trial.   I am so happy to have had Gerard as my attorney.  I would have been lost without him.   Gerard was very patient and understanding of my emotional issues, and made sure I understood my legal rights and choices.  His manner was very comforting, and made me feel confident that I would make it through the emotional ordeal.   Now that my divorce is over, and I have started my new life, I am so much happier and I am so thankful to have had Gerard represent me as my attorney. Candace M. My case was difficult because my wife and I split up and reconciled many times while the divorce action was pending.  Ultimately, we reconciled and are now living together happily.   Sometimes it takes a divorce action being filed to show you what you have to lose by splitting up.  Gerard was extremely patient and respectful of the need of my wife and I to try to resolve our differences, and helped me through the emotional upheavals I went through trying to make the right decision.  Gerard is not an attorney who just pushes papers through Court.  Gerard is an excellent attorney, but he is also much more than that.  I know Gerard cared about me, and cared about helping me make the right decision about whether to divorce or not.   Bill Nabhani (full name given at client's request) Gerard made the process of my divorce as smooth as possible and avoided running to the Courthouse, making it easy on everyone.  He easily made me look at the big picture which helped me make some difficult, but smart decisions in the long run.  Gerard made sure any negotiations and/or agreements made were in the best interest for my son and my future.  Gerard was extremely helpful, professional and has excellent follow through.  He is aggressive, yet compassionate and sensitive all at the same time–this is a hard combination to find!  I was very lucky to have him by my side.   Nelly F. Gerard was very understanding in his representation of me in my divorce.   At first, it took me a long time to decide if divorce was what I really wanted.   Gerard understood my dilemma and was very patient and did not try to rush me into any decisions.  He was there for me to answer all of my questions, and always was very responsive to my phone calls.  I knew that Gerard really cared about me making the decision that was right for me.   When it came time to work out a divorce settlement, Gerard did an excellent job of getting me focused on the legal issues, he clearly presented all of my choices, and he thoroughly explained them to me, and helped me reach a settlement that I felt was very fair, both to me and my ex-wife.  Since we have children together, maintaining a good rapport with my ex-wife was very important to me.  Now, after our divorce is final, my ex-wife and I are better friends than we had been for quite a while during our marriage, and our children have benefited from it. Scott H. Gerard helped me with post-Judgment child custody and child support issues.  Before hiring Gerard, I had tried to handle the matter myself.  That proved to be a serious mistake. My ex-wife and her attorney seemed to want to make as much trouble and legal expense as possible by fighting about everything.  Gerard was very good at containing their aggression and in working out a reasonable settlement of our issues, so we did not have to go to Court.  Gerard was firm in the legal positions he advocated on my behalf, and showed my ex-wife and her attorney that they could not push him and me around.   Gary Hembree (full name given at client's request) When my husband told me he was leaving me after more than 30 years of marriage, I was devastated.  I had not even seen it coming.   Thankfully, Gerard represented me as my attorney and guided me through the very difficult financial issues of the case.  Gerard thoroughly explained all of the property and spousal support settlement possibilities, and helped me to decide on which one was best for me.   Gerard then conducted settlement meetings with my husband and myself, and crafted a settlement that secured my financial future while allowing my husband to still survive.   I am very happy to have had Gerard on my side. Susan S. After my divorce, we still had outstanding issues.  I did not receive child support for two years!  And, frankly I was very frustrated!  I was lucky to find Gerard and receive his wise and creative counseling.  With his guidance, I was able to resolve the child support problems and not create additional problems with my ex (in fact, we are better friends now and that is due in part to Gerard)!  If you are looking for someone who is kind, fair, creative and considerate, look no further.  He can help!
