“Gery is hands-down one of the best attorneys I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with, and that’s coming from someone with a family of attorneys and law-enforcement officers. It’s an understatement to say that he truly cares about his clients. I’ve gathered that the law field is littered with attorneys that are solely interested in the most financially beneficial cases. Gery has proven to be an outstanding anomaly, who is truly passionate about his work, and looks out for what’s in the best interest of his clients, putting himself second—a true defender of justice. Because of his commendable level of professionalism, wealth of knowledge, and selflessness, I can proudly recommend him to anyone who is seeking the best law services South Florida has to offer.”

“I recently purchased an existing business. I needed a business lawyer, and I was referred to Rodriguez-Albizu Law by a friend. I have never had any dealings with any type of lawyer, so I was a little bit nervous about the process. After meeting with Mr. Rodriguez, I was put at ease. He explained everything so that I could understand the process. He turned my acquisition purchase over to his associate attorney, Margaret Lai. There were a few issues along the way, but I was kept informed via phone calls and emails. Very appreciative of this law firm right up until the day I signed closing documents. I would not hesitate to use them again.”

“We had an issue with certain equipment at our company and were strongly considering suing the manufacturer. We were referred to Gery by a mutual colleague and after consulting with him, Gery and his team devised a pre-suit litigation strategy which ultimately resolved the matter to our complete satisfaction and without even having to file a lawsuit. We’re confident that Gery’s pre-suit litigation strategy saved us tens of thousands of dollars had we instead proceeded with litigation from inception. We highly recommend Gery and his team!”
