Sometimes legal matters arise out of nowhere, and it can be daunting to find the "best" lawyer for your particular case. In Nassau County, the best criminal defense lawyer is Mr. Gerard McCloskey. When I went to his office to consult him about my case, from the moment he walked in, he had a very commanding presence yet was very amicable and approachable. I explained my case to him and told him my profession, and he immediately recognized that I would settle for nothing less than a case dismissal. So, he went over his legal strategy to get that result going from the best to worst case scenarios, and I immediately retained him. Court dates, while I was waiting outside in the hallway watching the other people, I noted that Mr. McCloskey seemed much more sharply dressed and groomed than most of the other attorneys because appearances do matter. I would expect my attorney to understand this because I too wore a suit and tie every time and tried to look well groomed. Prior to every court date, I would call his office to check for updates, and he would promptly return my phone calls. Then after each appearance, he would explain what was discussed when he and the DA's office conferenced and his predictions for the next court date. Due to his firsthand experience with the DA's office, Mr. McCloskey always seemed to be accurate with his predictions, and I would regularly know what to expect well in advance of each court appearance. Fortunately for my particular case, I was able to get the best [maybe even better than best??] case scenario Mr. McCloskey had already predicted without him even needing to file any motions. As a result, my case was dismissed, and I'm so thankful for being represented by Mr. McCloskey. He is definitely an 11 out of 10 star lawyer.

From the first meeting I could tell everyone at the firm were great people with strong legal expertise. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Mr. McCloskey who delivered better than the best results imaginable for my case. In addition, everyone at the firm provided the individual attention these sensitive matters require while answering all my questions.

If I could give Gerard McCloskey a higher rating than 5 stars, then I would. During my initial consultation with Gerard, he took the time to listen to all I had to say. I had been arrested by an incompetent and abusive police officer who did not care about the truth or the facts and only cared about his own biased agenda. Gerard assured me from the beginning that the process will take some time, but justice will prevail and he will win this case for me. Gerard acted swiftly and took the appropriate legal action to protect my rights and ensure a fair and equitable outcome. In a relatively short period of time, Gerard successfully obtained a dismissal of my case. I would strongly recommend Gerard to anyone who is falsely accused of a crime they did not commit.

Gerard is simply, an amazing attorney, with the knowledge and expertise to guide and advocate fiercely for his clients. He is formidable in his actions, and most importantly gets the job done. If you are seeking an attorney, who will listen, outline, and execute he is the guy.

Gerard was a great help as a lawyer and also a person in a difficult situation for me. Whenever I had any questions both personal or legal about what was going on he was always there to help me and guide me through the process. We were in constant contact before and after any court dates. Following his advice, the situation ended up working itself out and I am very thankful for his help. I would recommend Gerard for anyone looking for help in a legal situation.

I was referred to Gerard McCloskey specifically by a friend/attorney in a different field of law. From our initial consultation to the ultimately favorable outcome of my case, Mr. McCloskey was always available to answer questions either in person or over the phone. I never felt as though Gerard was rushing me or impatient with my concerns. Mr. McCloskey diligently worked for a judicious and fair outcome for me, even though it took over 2 years to reach that resolution. From day one onwards, I felt as though I could trust Gerard and that he truly cared about my case. I have already referred him once for a consultation and would do so again if anyone I know has a need for his services. Mr. McCloskey is an excellent, knowledgeable, and compassionate attorney. I recommend him without any reservations.

I was directed to Mr. Mccloskey for his expertise in the field concerning Motor Vehicle Law. After our initial consultation and my reviewing my documents he gave me how my situation could go. On the day of court I was very grateful for all his hard work. Mr. McCloskey and his partner Mr. Gann did an amazing job. They both succeeded in clearing my name and proving my innocence. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs help with their Motor Vehicle issues.

Gerard is an exceptional attorney and all around gentleman. Whenever I had a question, he responded immediately. When I was feeling unsure about something, he knew exactly how to explain it in terms I could understand, which put me at ease. Most importantly, he was accurate and completely correct with all of his advice. Gerard is an OUTSTANDING attorney. I highly recommend him.

I never thought that I would be in a position to need a DWI lawyer... devastated is an understatement... A friend of mine recommended Gerard... Gerard has the utmost professionalism...(along with the other firm lawyers and the staff.) He is ready, willing, able and responsive to all questions that I had. His communication skills along with his compassion and genuine desire for the best outcome possible made this experience of mine more bearable. I felt like someone was at my side throughout the process. He walked me through every step of the way...It was evident that he is very knowledgeable about all sides of the law. I highly recommend Gerard based on my experience with him and the reputation that he has.

Made an awful time in my life easier to move on from. Competent, confident,brilliant. Best deal I could ever get in court for my crime.

Gerard is calm cool and well educated. After a family member lied to the police he helped me overturn some rulings that were lies. He kept me calm and confident through out the entire ordeal. I would highly recommend him!!

I was arrested for a felony and maintained my innocence. Gerard McCloskey believed in me and urged me to go to trial. I put all my trust in this man and he delivered with a unanimous not guilty verdict by jury. From beginning to end he stuck by my side advised me on every aspect of the law and the long process, his knowledge of the law is second to none. He is compassionate about his job and it shows. I would advise anyone who is in legal trouble to hire this lawyer especially if you're innocent. You will not be disappointed.
