Our Results

Gelb & Gelb, P.C. has established itself as a preeminent law firm in Washington, D.C., and Maryland. Founded in 1954, we have handled over 10,000 cases for clients across the region. During this time, we have recovered over $150,000,000 for our clients. Our success in handling these cases has won us numerous accolades, recognizing our work. Our founder, Joseph D. Gelb, created our firm with an unwavering mission: to serve the community. Over the past 70 years, we have done that inside the courtroom and out.

Inside The Legal Arena

Esteemed publications for our work in the legal arena have acknowledged our commitment to excellence. These recognitions underscore our dedication to providing top-notch legal services to our clients. Our recognitions include being named:

• As a Super Lawyer: Our recognition as a Super Lawyer underscores our commitment to excellence, placing us in the top 5% of lawyers in the region.
• As a Top Lawyer by the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post Magazine
• As a Top Three Personal Injury Law Firm by The National Law Journal: Being named a Top Three Personal Injury Law Firm by The National Law Journal highlights our track record of winning significant client settlements.
• In the Legal Times
• As “one of Washington’s best – most honest and effective – lawyers who sue” by the Washington Magazine.

This work has resulted in multiple-million-dollar case resolutions, multiple-hundred-thousand-dollar case resolutions, and a 4.9 Google star rating from past clients. One of our landmark cases involved a $2 million settlement for a client injured in a car accident, where our legal strategy forced the insurer to crack, settling at the end of mediation. Among our most proud achievements, we have served generations of clients of the same family, with grandparents referring their children who refer the grandchildren to our legal services. For us, a referral is the ultimate compliment, and we look forward to continuing to serve our community for many decades to come.

While our work in the legal arena has helped thousands of clients recover compensation, our commitment to the community extends beyond the courtroom.

A Legacy of Legal Excellence and Community Service

Much of our work as personal injury lawyers is reactive. When a client calls us, we win you compensation for your injuries. But we have chosen to take our services one step further. We offer the Behind the Wheel Scholarship, which allows young adults to afford college. Moreover, this scholarship encourages safe driving to enjoy a safer community. We are also proud to participate in the Toys for Tots 5k run. The holidays are meant to be a time to enjoy time with family and not worry about the bills while providing a meaningful Christmas for your children. Thirdly, we offer Uber gift cards to Washington, D.C., and Maryland residents for a safe option to get home, providing a reliable and safe transportation alternative to prevent drunk driving incidents.

Through these efforts, we hope to continue to make an impact, not only for our clients in their time of need but also by playing an active role in the safety of our community.
