The Gertz Kelley Law Firm - Beaumont (TX)

5 /5 David Persaud: Attorney Thomas Kelley is an absolute lifesaver, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! In 2019, I was arrested for a second-degree felony possession of a controlled substance after being caught with two pot brownies while heading back to Florida for college. A couple of months ago, I was extradited from Florida to Texas to face the charge, and I was incredibly anxious about the situation. Thankfully, Attorney Kelley and his phenomenal paralegal, Erin, made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From the moment I arrived in Texas, Attorney Kelli’s overwhelming presence was evident. He had already been in contact with the jail, ensuring a bond was set and ready for me. When I got to the facility, the captain was waiting, and I was bonded out while still in the holding cell—what a relief! His paralegal, Erin, was equally incredible, working tirelessly to keep my family reassured that everything was under control. She went above and beyond, maintaining constant communication with both my family and the jail to ensure every detail was handled. Thanks to Attorney Kelleys expertise and Erin’s dedicated support, my charges were dismissed in less than two months. Their professionalism, compassion, and relentless commitment to my case were unmatched. If you need a legal team that will fight for you and keep you informed every step of the way, Thomas Kelli and Erin are the ones to trust

5 /5 Jennifer LaBorde: From the first moment I spoke with Ryan about our situation, I felt significant relief as he assured me that he would handle everything. Ryan and his staff handled our case with compassion and unmatched expertise. His paralegal, Randi, was fantastic with keeping us updated and answering any questions we had in a timely manner. Ryan does exactly what he says he will do "defending people" and we could not be more appreciative.

5 /5 Mario: Highly recommended is Ryan Gertz. Ryan was hired to assist with a felony case involving a family member. Throughout the process, Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. Ryan clearly explained everything, patiently answered all questions, and provided updates throughout the lengthy process. He expertly handled the cases complexities and was dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome. Ultimately, Ryan helped achieve a favorable outcome. For a serious case, my family and I will consider Ryan in the future.

5 /5 Nicholas Rosenblad: Tom is a wonderful attorney, hes the man you want standing beside you if youre ever in trouble. He truly cares about his clients and he also has a great support system in his paralegal Erin. Erin has been one of the brightest parts of the last few months of our lives. When i was a terrified mess and didnt know what to do, she was the voice of reason. She ALWAYS knows the details of our life, i never have to remind her of the current situation. She is professional yet personable enough to never doubt she truly cares. Tom and his coworkers are a team, and they are well worth the money.

5 /5 Jessica Hope: Ryan Gertz provided outstanding criminal defense representation for my loved one. We had heard he was one of the top criminal defense attorneys in Southeast Texas, and after working with him, we completely understand why. My loved one was facing multiple serious felony charges with a jaw-dropping sentencing range for a nonviolent crime. We were hoping for a fair plea deal from the DA but not expecting much in the way of mercy. On top of that, my loved one has a medical condition that would make even a shorter prison sentence potentially fatal. It took about three months from arraignment for Ryan to negotiate an incredible deal—one that can allow my loved one to move forward and rebuild their life (potentially without a conviction) and with only a brief prison cognitive program and then deferred adjudicated probation. Ryan negotiated for all but one of the charges to be dropped entirely. Throughout the process, Ryan and his team were responsive, compassionate, and professional. Both he and Randi went above and beyond to ensure the jail was aware of and handling my loved one’s medical needs multiple times, even after the plea deal was done. I am beyond grateful for this, especially, because they probably saved my loved ones life through their efforts. We are deeply grateful for the outcomes Ryan achieved and highly recommend him to anyone in need of criminal defense. The peace of mind we had knowing he was on the case made a difference. He and his team are some of the heroes helping my loved one have a chance to rebuild and recover their life.
