We’re open for business.

We plan to use this space to tell you about important cases and issues. But for now, we just want to say hi. And tell you about what we’d like to do with this new law firm you are reading about.

Both of us started this law firm because we want to do, for lack of a better term, real people law. That is, we want to take the kind of cases where we represent real people and make their lives better through our work. We will be creative about what that means. Our clients will be workers, incarcerated people, entrepreneurs, activists, artists, tenants, or anyone else who could use our help. And our goal will sometimes be money damages, or sometimes something else, like a promise to stop doing something harmful or a change of a government policy.

You’d think, given how many lawyers there are in America, that there’d be too many lawyers who want to do high-quality legal work, with the utmost integrity, for real people, at a reasonable cost. But it turns out there are too few that tick all of those boxes. Some lawyers who do high-quality legal work charge too much for most people to afford. Other lawyers are reasonably priced but can’t do innovative or high-quality work. Still others are skilled but might not always practice with integrity.

Those lawyers might have a place in the system. But that place is not Gerstein Harrow LLP.

So now it’s up to you. If you are reading this and want a law firm like us, email us at hi@gerstein-harrow. Or if you are a lawyer like us, out to do cases that matter and that could use some help, please contact us too at the same address, hi@gerstein-harrow.com.

If you build it, they will come, or so folks say. Step 1 is done, since we’ve built the law firm we think should exist. Help us out with step 2.
