Israel & Gerity, PLLC

I had the privilege of working with Michael Gerity, an Arizona trusts and estate lawyer at Israel and Gerity, PLLC, who was a true expert in his legal field. Michael helped me with estate planning for my father, who is over 75, single, and has been experiencing increasing health issues. As someone (me personally) who graduated from law school and has over 10 years of combined experience in healthcare, public health, and Medicaid managed care, I was extremely impressed by Michael's depth of knowledge in estate planning, combined with a remarkable understanding of the Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS). His knowledge gave me complete confidence in the guidance he provided. Some highlights include: * Expertise: He brought years of experience to the table, explaining complex legal and financial concepts in a way that was clear and reassuring. * ALTCS Guidance: Navigating the Arizona Long Term Care System can be overwhelming, but his insight into eligibility requirements, benefits, and planning strategies was invaluable. He helped me understand how I can protect my family's assets while ensuring long-term care needs for my father would be met. * Professionalism: Our interaction was handled with patience, respect, and genuine care. He took the time to listen to my concerns and tailored solutions to my family's unique situation. * Peace of Mind: Thanks to his guidance, I now feel secure moving forward with an estate plan that is comprehensive, compliant, and aligned with future care needs. I highly recommend Michael to anyone seeking a trusted partner in estate planning, especially if you want someone who understands the intricacies of Arizona's Long Term Care System. His expertise and compassion make a difficult process much easier to navigate. Andrew Kunka, JD, MPAP

This is a review for Mr. Michael Gerity and his law firm. My brother and I are incredibly fortunate to have found Mr. Gerity and his law firm as our appellate counsel. He took on our appeal case without hesitation after we lost a lawsuit that had been handled by an another counsel. The case is highly complex and the opposing party has a "reputation" in town yet Mr. Gerity never flinched. From the very beginning, we felt that our case was finally in the hands of someone who truly knew what he was doing. We first found Mr. Gerity on Martindale.com, where he had a perfect 5.0 peer review rating (which is a big deal coming from peers) and outstanding client reviews. Now that we've worked with him, we can see exactly why. He is an EXCEPTIONAL attorney: highly competent, very thorough, and truly strategic in his approach. His expertise in business, real estate and commercial litigation is evident in every conversation and every filing. At the same time, he is deeply caring and attentive to his clients, taking the time to explain options, answer questions, and make sure we felt heard and supported throughout a very stressful process. (Having to reconstruct the facts, evidence and all the details related to the case and court trial from ground zero is a gargantuan task!) It is indeed a rarity to share the same wavelength with your counsel. And this is exactly how we feel in all of our interactions with Mr. Gerity. His team, led by Lisa Hudson, is also outstanding, no less. Lisa stays on top of every detail and deadline, communicates clearly, and makes the whole process feel organized and under control. The culture of this firm is something special--professional, smart, and tenacious, but also kind and client-centered. We've lived in New York City for more than 30 years and relocated to Phoenix just a few years ago. We have worked with a number of attorneys over that time. By far, Mr. Gerity is the best lawyer we've known. We strongly recommend him and his firm without reservation. Mr. Gerity, Lisa and team are a real GEM! Judy Onghai, PhD Mike Onghai, CFA

Found Israel & Gerity online and within an hour we were contacted by their star colleague Lisa. She was amazing & vibrant and stated that for over a decade she has worked with Kyle & Michael and they are great people- genuine and skilled to the max. The next day we visited with Kyle. He was "as advertised" !!! Has very REAL bandwidth in the 'construction defect' space and it showed. This property is in Yavapai County and he has worked with clients there. Yet it was his extremely high level of 'emotional intelligence' that wowed us. He is so genuine and uberly bright. Sounds like his partner Michael is as well. Yet, if you do not believe my review, just look at all the other reviews. Outstanding.

I highly recommend Israel & Gerity. They were prompt in replying to my inquiry and in setting up an introduction call. Michael Gerity was insightful, helpful, and strategic in educating me on my rights and what to expect while dealing with a trademark Cease & Desist letter I received. If you need to file a trademark or need help navigating a legal issue: this is a great firm to work with. They are committed to their clients and to excellence and it shows.

We retained Michael for our appeal case. He took over a complicated case from our previous lawyer. I really appreciated his effort, his brain wavelength and strategy in taking over the case. Within days, I knew we have the right lawyer. Not only is he very capable, brainy and measured in his thoughts, but he also does not carry the type of ego that can kill a good process. I really appreciate that he was not opposed to us using ai agents to help our strategy and chart expected value of different outcomes to avoid human missteps, as I was concerned many capable lawyers' (as well as doctors) ego can get hurt if one uses ai agents. His acceptance of using new tools and technology makes me feel confident that we have tried our very best efforts to win our appeal. Lisa is also quick to follow-up and very communicative. I highly recommend Michael , Lisa and the whole team to anyone! Mike Onghai, CFA
