I have the highest regard for Gary Gerstenfield. In late December, 2012, I had a problem with the state courts in Maryland. As time went by, Gary Gerstenfield told me that it has been a year since the event and the Maryland constitution stated very clearly that a trial would be expedited, within 6 to 12 months I had a 4th court trial scheduled on February 6th (all previous court appearances were delayed except for the 6th of February, and he raised the issue of the tardiness in resolving my case. He then brought up that he had lost a crucial witness and that I no longer remembered much of what happened during that evening. So what happened? All aspects of the case were dismissed and the event was expunged from my record. Gary Gerstenfield is very well liked in Montgomery County. I can clearly see why. He is brilliant, and obviously thinks a great deal about each client, giving each one the best in legal care

Gary is a great lawyer and really cares about his clients. He takes the time to let you know whats going on with your trail and explores all options in your defense. Don't go to trial without Gary by your side! Gary has a masterful knowledge of the Law, Gary in the courtroom is like a fish in water, it's his element, it's where he belongs, and it's what he's good at! I had a couple scratches on my arm and the cops showed up at our house because of loud noise, they took my wife to jail and charged her with assault! Every other lawyer told me the only option you have is to Use your Marital Privilege and not testify against your wife, problem is you can only use that once in your life, Gary said no, I don't want to use that because you can only use it once, and this doesn't warrant it. So we went to Trial, I testified, and My wife was found Not Guilty, we had a brutal prosecutor, but Gary's Defense was rock solid. Anyhow my wife was found not guilty, and we did it without using the Marital Privilege.That's something only real expertise can get you..Some one who really knows all the intricacies of the Law. Gary is a Great affordable Lawyer, Go with him, you won't regret it! Now all me and my wife's problems and worries related to this trial will never be in our life again! Thank you Gary!

I got myself into quite a jam at the end of 2011 with a DUI in Montgomery County. At first I chose an attorney from the Baltimore County area (where I’m from) to represent me. I later found out that this was a bad choice as he didn’t really defend me as tactfully as he could have. I was put on probation (with a DUI monitor) for 6 months, which would have been great had I not screwed up the terms of my probation—not showing up to appointments, failing the interlock device, etc. So once again I was up against Montgomery County. This time I decided to go with Gary Gerstenfield, as I was at the end of my rope and he was recommended as the best MoCo had to offer. Well, he was better than that. As easy as it was to dig myself into such a hole, he more than skillfully helped me out of it. I don’t say this to celebrate avoiding jail time, which was DEFINITELY where I was headed. I say it because I desperately wanted to deal with my alcohol issues outside of jail. I needed help, and help is what I got. He doesn’t sugar coat anything, he doesn’t paint all things rainbows and freedom. What he does is know the law, how to best defend you, and how to give you what you pay for. I don’t care what it is you find yourself into, give this man a call. That said, I still can’t find enough words to express my gratitude.

Gary is a true professional and one of the best defense lawyers in Maryland. I have seen him in action on many occasions and highly recommend him to anyone who is going through a tough legal situation.

My family and I are extremely pleased with the outcome of my case and cannot thank Gary enough for all that he did to ensure that I was found not guilty! I was facing charges of 1st and 2nd degree assault and 25 years or more in prison. Gary worked hard and spent time with me to make sure that I understood my charges and all the available options. If you're looking for a criminal defense attorney, look no further! Trust me, you want Gary. He will go above and beyond your expectations and will produce the outcome he promised he would.

Matthew Bennett is the best lawyer I know, is very professional, He was always available when I had any additional questions,, and at the end won my case. I recommend Matthew Bennett without reservation.

Words cannot express my sincere thanks to Gary for protecting my freedom. I worked for an organization owned by Johns Hopkins. For six years, I served my employer with so much loyalty. Despite being 100% devoted, I experienced the misfortune of being part of a series of rudimentary layoffs. I wasn't just laid off; I was accused and charged with theft and theft scheme, each carrying a prison sentence of up to fifteen years. My family was placed under hardship as I was placed on an endless administrative leave without pay for closed to a year, pending investigation of the alleged theft from my employer. Confident that the investigation wouldn't lead to any results that would implicate me as I had done nothing wrong but wholeheartedly served my employer, I was mistaken. Police raided my house and found nothing. They still decided to charge me. Confused about the whole thing and saddened by the inability to take care of my two sons and wife, my family joined me in prayers for God to send us a lawyer that will represent me properly and take me out of this mess. God responded and sent Gary Hale Gerstenfield. Gary took the case personally and seriously. Feeling my pain, he made it a duty to always distract me from thinking of and being worried about the whole situation. Each time we met either over the phone or in his office, he was very humorous, making me to laugh away my troubles. Gary consoled me and answered my calls even while he was at the courthouse representing his other clients. Though confident after reading so many reviews by his past clients, I almost gave up hope as my court date drew nearer and all Gary did was call me up to tell me not to worry and that he will be in court with me. I was expecting him to schedule appointments with me and discuss and prep me. No, he had his strategy in place. On the court date, Gary still had not met with me. He didn't even tell me what he was to do. When my case was called up, I was worried about the team of witnesses the employer had sent with the State's attorney. On my side, it was just Gary and me. I was intimidated. Guess what...Gary turned things around and made the State's Attorney and his fleet of witnesses a laughingstock as he turned their conflicting and uncoordinated stories against them, making them appear foolish, desperate nervous and dumbfounded. I never took the stand; I never said a single word in court. Gary was strategic with his objections as he vigorously punctured each and every point they made. Gary was vigorous and super aggressive at the State’s Attorney, his lame story and the witnesses. He stood his grounds as he relentlessly went after the police officers who charged me. Thanks to Gary’s vigorous defense, I was found not guilty and the Judge made it clear that the state had no case against me. Folks, if you need a lawyer who will stand for you, please call Gary. If you want the best defense, do not think twice - call Gary. Thank you Gary and God bless you as you continue to represent and help out many people like myself.

He has really helped me in the past, hope for the same loyal treatment this time..

I was charged with a high BAC, first-time DUI in Baltimore City. I decided to meet with Gary after reading some positive reviews here on Google+ and a few other sites. He's a very friendly guy. He and Rebecca pointed me toward a couple of treatment programs to complete before trial. Due to a state postponement and some unfavorable judge situations, we made four different courtroom appearances, but Gary and Rebecca remained very professional and results-oriented through all of it. They never pressured me in to accepting an unfavorable plea. They wanted to get me the best possible ruling. In the end, I received probation before judgement. This is the result we discussed when I first visited the office, and this is the result they delivered.

Mr. Gerstenfield is an excellent attorney. I strongly recommend him.

I cannot say enough about Gary's services.. I picked up an embarrassing solicitation charge last year and opted to use a cheap lawyer service with the understanding it was my first time offense that I would have no problem getting past the charge. Unfortunately this was not the case.. I pleaded guilty and received no probation or community service all of a sudden I had a criminal charge misdemeanor charge and therefore would have a permanent criminal record!! I simply did not understand the ramifications until after my case was over.. the fact that I hold security clearance means that having this charge could permanently damage my career!! Thank God I did some more investigating to see what my legal options were after the case. After reviewing lawyers and ratings I came across Gary's office.. reviewed the track record and I was impressed with the reviews and case outcomes. I decided to give him a call to discuss my case.. thank goodness I gave him a call because I was just inside my window to file an appeal.. He took on the case and kept me updated on the progress.. after the first hearing, the county decided to change legal processes for solicitation cases that made it much more difficult to have even first time offender charges dropped.. He informed me of the development and possible outcomes but at the same time put together a strategy by requesting additional information from me about being a cleared professional to argue the severity of this charge on my career!! Gary used all the resources at his disposal to include the other law firm lawyer, Rebecca Cosca to fight to get my charges dropped. She was very instrumental in working to get my case resolved. When all was said and done.. I will receive community service and the charges will be dropped and eventually expunged. I cannot say enough about what Gary and Rebecca have done for me. This has been a tremendously stressful experience for me but in the end he used every available resource at his disposal to get me taken care of. The money I spent with him was very well spent.. I almost forgot to say he even adjusted what he would normally charge me based on the money I wasted with the first lawyer I had on the case..Most lawyers will take your money and run with a case..he didnt have to do that but it shows the character of Gary!! The bottomline is I received top notch expert representation from a person that was empathetic about my situation but yet aggressive in seeing things thru for me from start to finish. Lesson learned.. you get what you pay for!! Im so glad I have selected Gary and his team to include Rebecca Cosca.. either one of them are investments well worth it to see your case through.. I highly recommend Gary or Rebecca to see anyone through legal situations!!
