Hired Attorney Gary S. Nitsche P.A.

Gary Nitsche is the BEST attorney you will ever find and have the pleasure of working with. He and his team will do everything in their power to make sure you are treated right. Our first attorney lost the case!! We contacted Gary and he said he would take out case but he only had 1 week to get the paperwork to the judge before there would be nothing we could do. He got everything done and we won. Thank you guys so much you are awesome!

I honestly don't know where to begin because I have had an all around great experience with this firm. Gary, Joel, & Kristine have always addressed questions /concerns me or my husband had. My family went through a lot dealing with my accident & they have always made me feel as though we will be cared for. They have always responded in a timely manner. They have always met with us in a timely manner. Their waiting & meeting areas were always clean. They were always organized & up to date with my case. They always provided their advice but still permitted me to make my own decisions. My family & I are extremely pleased. Thank you all so very much. We will never forget the kindness & compassion you showed our family.

Experience matters seems like a cliché or a great marketing slogan. However, experience matters became a reality for my husband and me when we were involved in a serious motor vehicle accident and needed a law firm with experience and commitment to its clients. Gary S. Nitsche, managing partner of Weik, Nitsche and Dougherty, P.A and his competent team of attorneys, paralegals and support staff skillfully helped us navigate through the difficult maze of hospital stays, medical treatments, insurances, benefits, and so much more. It would have been impossible for us to know our rights and the laws protecting us without his guidance. Gary’s advice was always solid; we felt he always had our best interest in the forefront of his actions. His experience proved invaluable during negotiations to recoup our losses. It’s no wonder why Gary and his team are rated very highly in the tri-state legal community. We recommend him without reservation!

I was injured at work, completed three major surgeries over two years with Gary Nitsche taking my case. Then after the third surgery I was rear ended in an auto accident. The crash required another surgery. The blame game began between WC and MVA. Gary Nitsche was highly recommended and with his staff Rachel Allen and Kristine Winner, Mr. Nitsche added my auto case (handling both WC and MVA). Mr. Nitsche and his staff kept me posted on progress. Bottom line, Gary Nitsche and his staff were exceptional. I have and will continue to recommend them. Thank you, Jon Townley

Hired Attorney Joseph W. Weik Esq.

Man of high integrity. Listened. Took time to understand my situation and was fully informed. He kept in constant contact with me. I knew what was going on at every stage. He answered all my questions, was respectful, and the utmost professional. I would recommend him to others. And if I ever needed a lawyer again, I would definitely use him.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
