Pros
1
Experienced and knowledgeable attorney with a good understanding of how judges tend to rule
“He is not the one deliberately delaying our divorce, far from it. He has been practicing law in our area for decades, makes it a point to familiarize himself with how judges tend to rule (as any good lawyer should), and has provided me with sound legal advice throughout this divorce.”
2
Ethical, fair, and reasonable in his approach
“He is not one of those lawyers who will simply take your money and allow you to pursue a personal vendetta, so if you are looking for that kind of lawyer, keep looking. As other reviewers have already said, he is fair, reasonable, ethical, responsive, cares about his clients, and tough when warranted.”
3
Effective at achieving timely resolutions and avoiding unnecessary legal fees
“Mr Gerber used his outstanding negotiation skills and experience to bring about fast resolutions and avoid running up unnecessary fees that would have resulted from drawn out litigation.”
4
Provides personalized attention and support to clients
“Unlike the "nothing personal its just business" lawyers that we all know , Don takes a personal interest in your case as he did mine.”
Cons
1
Lack of responsiveness and delays in handling cases
“Each time I would call to inquire about the update of my case, I was told by his staff that he was on a "High profile case" and couldn't get to my case yet.”
2
Unprofessional conduct in court
“Came to court disheveled & unshaven. His secretary is a crazy nightmare of a woman. Refused to let me speak to him and lied about almost everything.”
3
Failure to file documents and prepare properly for court
“Gerber did not file court papers timely. Always late or omitted. Didn't make good arguments. Used the excuse that he was caring for his wife -who had a head injury - as a reason he wasn't prepared for court.”
