Clients often complain that they can’t reach their attorney, and when they do get through, they are often referred to a paralegal or secretary. I am committed to remaining accessible to my clients and ensuring that they are well-informed about every step of the process.
I spoil my clients by remaining available, alert and in touch with their legal needs. Additionally, I work closely with my clients so that they understand and appreciate the joint effort needed to successfully achieve their goals and objectives.
I am friendly, caring, and I act in a professional and courteous manner. In pursuing justice for my clients, I always strive to achieve results that exceed expectations.
In 2010, after managing my own law firm (18 lawyers,14 support staff), and after serving as a partner in Big Law, I opened my own (solo) practice to provide a different kind of client experience. My practice includes general civil matters, real estate/construction, probate and estate litigation, insurance litigation, and high-dollar collections. I have had an active trial practice for over 37 years.

"Bret Gerard represented us in a private legal matter involving a loss of property. He was quick to respond, provided effective and practical advice, and expertly guided us to a successful resolution when we had nearly lost all hope. From the beginning, he carefully explained our options and he was very clear in his communications. His expert counsel ultimately saved us countless valuable time and money and we won't hesitate to call upon him again if we need great legal advice."

"Bret Gerard represented me in two different legal matters where I was wrongfully sued. He was able to get both matters dismissed. He was effective, always responsive when I called or emailed him, and he expertly guided me to a successful result. He carefully explained the legal process and was always clear with me in his communications. His expert counsel was truly appreciated and I won't hesitate to call upon him again if the need for great legal advice ever presents itself."

"Mr. Gerard has provided legal advice and business guidance to me during the last 10+ years. His expertise assured me I was making correct decisions in several business transactions. He also handled estate issues and partnership formations for me. Mr. Gerard has directly contributed to my success during the last decade by providing in depth legal knowledge and practical business representation. I was able to be in multiple ventures at the same time and know my interests were protected!"
