Here's an incredible note from a man who asked me for legal help, but since he was located outside of New York, I could not help him since I only practice law in New York. I was then able to refer him to an attorney near where he lived.

"Dear Mr. Oginski,

I just want to thank you so much for your website. The content is exceptional and has been a true blessing to me during this difficult time by informing me and helping me to gain some sense of clarity. Your site is just so exceptionally done it is obvious that you have the gift of teaching and a real passion for your field."

Vickie Clayborn from New Castle, Indiana says
"I have a attorney for a medical malpractice case but I just wanted to write to you and tell you that I really have enjoyed listening to and watching your videos on failure to diagnose heart attack. Its been very helpful. Keep up the good work."

Gerry says:
Thanks for taking the time to let me know Vickie!

"I hired Gerry because of his reputation, experience and recommendation by many friends. I originally heard about him from coworkers and friends of mine. He is friendly, very approachable, sharp and witty, and most important, consistently reliable.

I found Gerry to be very courteous, professional and experienced. On our very first meeting he explained the process of how my lawsuit would work. I always appreciated that he returned my phone calls and e-mails promptly. His free reports, books, and newsletters were extremely informative and educational.

Gerry's Secretary, Frances, was always friendly, courteous, very patient and treated me with respect.

If another legal matter came up (hopefully that will not happen) I would hire Gerry again in a second."

Bay Sayegh, California. (formerly of Westbury, New York)

"Let me begin by saying that I am writing this letter on behalf of my mother with much of her input. She would like to extend her warmest thanks and let you know that she is very grateful for your hard work and persistence. It has been an extremely long battle from surgery to litigation, and finally to settlement. Along the way, much has happened with my mother that could have potentially posed a problem. You were very understanding in having to correspond with me during my mother's fragile state. You did an exceptional job in keeping me abreast of your every move on this case. You treated us with the most respect and made my mother feel that her case and her best interest was priority to you.

Your level of expertise was apparent from the beginning of the case right down to the settlement attained. Again, it's been a long haul and as a daughter, I am grateful that my mother had you to defend her. The final outcome of this case has given my mother more than just monetary relief. It has given her a silver lining for the toughest three years of her life. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. "

Sincerely,
Victoria Soto and J.P. (Daughter)

From the very beginning, Gerry displayed very good professionalism. He was able to be professional as well as showing concern and care at the same time. His documentation and follow ups was very reliable, and we would definablely recommend him to a friend or family member in need of his services. As far as the settlement is concerned, we are extremely happy with the outcome.

Gerry and Frances were very helpful and knowledgeable when they advised me throughout the process. Their help made the process run very smooth. I am very grateful for all they have done for me and am very happy with the outcome of my settlement. Susan Choinski, New Hyde Park, NY

I have never been involved in a lawsuit until recently, and I am thankful you accepted my case and represented me. You always returned my calls. In fact, you answered your phone yourself at times. Your Legal Assistant, Frances, was also excellent. Any time that I spoke with her, she always knew everything about my case and always answered my questions with a knowledgable and detailed answer. It did not take me long to realize that I was in excellent hands, and that was comforting in itself. I was satisfied with the settlement outcome considering the nature of my injury. Very much so, you and your office are as professional as it gets because you care. Thankfully and sincerely yours, Mitchell Bartnicki

"Hi Gerry, I want you to know I think of you often,and can never thank you enough for all you have done for me and my sisters. You are the best. I hope you and your family are doing great. I miss your smile and your beautiful personality, and your great suits. May god bless you and your family. Love you, Arlene D.

Jeanette Mason

It was frustrating at times; however, this was my first experience in the legal system, so it could be expected. Mr. Oginski kept us abreast of all issues and matters. He was a true professional and extremely knowledgeable. The settlement, given our circumstances, was very acceptable.

Anthony Gonzalez
Queens, NY

My first visit with Gerry Oginski was a little overwhelming since I did not know him or he us, and it was only about 2 months after my surgery. He gathered information needed and was very accurate in giving us the time frame for the settlement, if there was to be one. His fee statement was accurate and helpful when we reviewed it at home. At any time during the case, I was able to call Mr. Oginski and ask questions that were on my mind. I also noted that a phone call after business hours was no problem. Frances, his assistant, was also very helpful and courteous on the phone. She was prompt and always made sure my requests were satisfied. Mr. Oginski always made me feel that I was very important to him and seemed very concerned about my future.

We were very happy about the settlement, since we were not sure we had a case, although I felt we did. He lead us through the time and kept me posted on all information pertaining to the time and place of the trial. I was very confident with Mr. Oginski and his office. I would recommend him with great confidence knowing he would do his best for all his clients. Thanks again.
