I am grateful for the professionalism from Kris, Liesl and the front desk. I highly recommend this firm. They were always available to answer any questions and eased my concerns throughout the process. Thank you for all your help and support.
Owner response
Peter- We really appreciate your confidence in our law firm, as we always strive to provide our clients with the best possible service and results. Thank you for your very supportive comments.
Herschel and Stephanie Gelber are the dynamic duo. They did a wonderful job for us and kept us all on the same page through a very challenging experience. They were always easy to get a hold of and available to answer questions, guiding us through the process. Their incredible knowledge, expertise and personal attention is without equal. Thank you so much! Mike & Kathy Randall
Owner response
Kathy & Mike - It was an absolute honor and joy to represent you both with respect to Kathy's injury claim. We wish you only the best in the future! Stephanie & Hersch Gelber
Mr Gelber represented my husband after being struck head in by a drunk driver in the City of Rochester. We received excellent treatment and prompt responses to any and all questions, and questions were answered with explanation so as anyone could understand car insurance phrasing and coding. I would highly recommend Gelber & O’Connell to anyone.
Owner response
Thank you Heather! We really appreciate your confidence in our law firm, as we always strive to treat our clients like family and provide them with the best possible service and results.
They always treated me with professionalism and eased any concerns about my issues from the front desk to Liesl, who was outstanding and always helpful, as well as Herschel with helping me understand my issues.
Owner response
Dave- It was a true pleasure to assist you with your injury claim.
I called this office to discuss a potential medical malpractice case and the male attorney I spoke with told me the firm would not be taking on my case and then just hung up on me. The receptionist was kind but I would proceed with caution when calling for consults....
Owner response
We are in receipt of your review for Gelber & O'Connell, LLC and wanted to take a moment to address your rating and comments. First, we are sorry that you were so displeased with the discussion regarding your potential medical malpractice claim, however, the statement in your review that the attorney "just hung up" on you is not accurate. As you are aware, the attorney attempted to explain that he did not believe he could be of assistance to you with your claim or your dissatisfaction with having to pay for those medical services that you found to be unacceptable. We pride ourselves on being honest with potential clients when we do not think we can help them and we believe that is simply what occurred during this telephone conversation.
This law firm is the best in the business! When I was injured in an auto accident they treated me like family and helped me every step of the way to get the treatment and settlement I deserved! Very attentive and caring for every client. I would definitely recommend to anyone with a personal injury and need a trustworthy lawyer to help get you throughout your case🙂
Owner response
Deonna- You were a wonderful client and it was our privilege to help you!
After I was rear-ended in a car accident, I contacted Gelber & O'Connell. One of the attorneys promptly called and helped me navigate through the legal maze in a kind and professional way. I had suffered neck, back, and hip injuries, but the attorneys and their competent staff were patient and compassionate as we worked through the lengthy process. I had been T-boned in yet another accident several years before and had retained a different firm. The difference between that firm and Gelber is enormous. While I was greatly disappointed by the other firm, Stephanie and Herschel Gelber were extremely attentive, knowledgable and offered superior legal counsel. I did not feel "like a number" and was treated with respect throughout the case. Without qualification, I recommend Gelber & O'Connell.
Owner response
Brenda - Thank you for your kind words. We truly appreciate the opportunity to have represented you!
If you are looking for an attorney that provides personal attention, one who listens and takes action on your injury case, than Stephanie Gelber needs to be your attorney. Working in a medical office that treats personal injury patients I have referred a number of our those who need immediate representation or those who are not happy with whom they currently have, knowing that they will provide the same level of service that we strive for in our office. Trust me you will not be disappointed just make the call and see for yourself.
Owner response
Michelle- We really appreciate your confidence in our law firm, as we always strive to treat our clients like family and provide them with the best possible service and results. Thank you for your very supportive comments.
In the wake of a disabling auto accident, my wife and I met with Stephanie and Herschel Gelber. Stephanie had been highly recommended to us by a professional colleague who described her as "skillful and persistent." We wanted an attorney who was aggressive where appropriate and available when needed. Stephanie made the legal process clear to us, and kept us up-to-date as the case advanced. Her preparation was so detailed, nothing got by her! It showed in the recovery she obtained, and far sooner than we had anticipated. Able, Available, Personable, Tough, Top-Shelf.
Owner response
David - We humbly thank you and truly appreciate your kind words!
I live in pain, everyday. Pain is a personality changer and it makes everyday exhausting and complicated. I asked questions, got no answers. I was asked many questions, not allowed to answer without being interrupted, disrespected AND threatened to have my case dropped based as problematic. No support. No communication and Stephanie Gelber scolded me, my occasions because I was upset and emotional. My life is upside down but please yell at me. Im going to contact the bar assoc and whoever else I can. No one deserves to be treated like nothing

We are in receipt of your review for Gelber & O'Connell, LLC and wanted to take a moment to address your rating and comments. First, we are sorry that you were so displeased with our discussion regarding your claim, however, the statements in your review are both untrue and unwarranted. We worked very hard on your claim, spending a lot of time on the telephone and via email discussing with and answering all questions and issues raised over the last eleven months, to the extent it was in our purview to do so. You, however, refused to or simply did not want to listen to what we had to say. We pride ourselves on being honest with clients, even when to do so includes providing information which we understand can be difficult for them to hear. Your negative review also came as a surprise to us in view of your March 6, 2020 email praising our law firm and thanking everyone at Gelber & O’Connell, “from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done, so far and continue to do”. In that same email, you then apologized to the team at Gelber & O’Connell for your past behavior toward our staff. The only conceivable thing that has occurred since that time which could have changed your very positive opinion of our law firm was the frank discussion we had with you on the date you wrote your negative review. Despite all of this, we still wish you much success.
