Praise For The Gertz Kelley Law Firm

“Ryan was my lawyer in my DWI case. Due to the information provided by myself and the State, Ryan and I chose to take the case to trial. This was my first time going through a trial and I lacked the knowledge of how they went. Ryan took me through it step by step explaining everything as it took place. He answered every question I had and if I still didn’t understand, he explained it differently! He was very knowledgeable and very professional! He knew the law and my rights better than the state and was very prepared the entire time. I would most definitely recommend Ryan Gertz to any citizen in need of counsel!” – Heidi P.

“Tom Kelley is a great attorney, he took his time with me and explained every little detail so that understood him completely. I truly believe that he cared about me and my case. I will definitely recommend Tom to anyone. He’s just that good!!!” – Chelsie

“I give Ryan Gertz my highest recommendation. He is a silky smooth criminal trial attorney, who knows how to handle prosecutors. After my trial, 4 of the 6 jurors waited for him at the bottom of the stairway to congratulate him on his closing arguments, and to acquire his BUSINESS CARDS! Hire Ryan Gertz.” – Harlan

“Exceptional. My case was a hard case for anyone, but Ryan was so skilled and had such a strong presence in the courtroom, that he was able to get me a verdict that was needed. I did not give him an easy case. Respectful, knowledgeable and sincere. I will be using him for sure next time I need an excellent attorney.” – Danny
