“Gerry was my mentor when I started my legal practice. I could not have hoped for a more ethical and knowledgeable lawyer to introduce me to the law. Gerry showed me how he uses his extensive (and impressive) legal knowledge to resolve cases efficiently, economically and with dignity for the litigating parties.”
- Marie Fahnert, Attorney
“With a record of service and commitment, time and responsibility (matched only by Chuck Hogren), this modest “giant” of Christian legal aid has devoted nearly all of his professional life to the service of clients and the teaching of lawyers and law students. He has served for many years as the Director of the Austin legal aid clinic in Chicago, and also as a law professor at a leading law school. His efforts, along with those of key assistants like Jim Godlewski, Barry Boykin and others created a most effective program in a major city. He recruited the then largest panel of volunteers at an early stage of CLA; and Gerry also has been a consistent leader and teacher in national CLA training sessions conducted annually by the Christian Legal Society.”
- John D. Robb, Author of Defending the Poor with the Love of God
