Gerard J. Cipriani has spent decades understanding, evaluating, and communicating the strengths and weaknesses of high-stakes personal injury and business conflicts, helping to resolve thousands of complex matters through skillful negotiation.
Why? Because he understands the true cost of litigation.
After four decades as a leading trial lawyer, business founder and real estate developer, Gerry understands how to resolve civil matters ranging from catastrophic personal injuries to complex commercial transactions, serious construction project failures and more.
He has the tools to facilitate predictable closure rather than let parties continue on a path of acrimony and uncertainty tethered to litigation.
