Ken Gerber tried cases as a Florida prosecutor, moved to the plaintiffs’ side, built and sold a six-office injury practice, then rebuilt it from scratch in Arizona’s West Valley. What survived every move was a rule the firm still advertises: no defense work, ever.

Prosecutor, Plaintiffs’ Associate, Founder — Twice
Ken Gerber’s path to Arizona personal injury law runs through two states and two prior careers. A cum laude graduate of Tulane University who earned his law degree at Stetson University College of Law in St. Petersburg, Florida, Gerber began as a prosecuting attorney, where the firm’s own materials state he handled more jury trials than most of his peers over the same period. That trial-heavy prosecutorial background led a plaintiffs’ personal injury firm to hire him, and in 2001 he founded his own plaintiffs’-side practice in Florida — a firm that, per the firm’s current site, grew to six offices across the state before Gerber sold it and relocated to Arizona in 2009 to start over.
Gerber Injury Law’s current form dates to that 2009 move, with the Arizona practice formally established shortly after. The firm now operates from Surprise, serving the broader West Valley — Phoenix, Avondale, Scottsdale, Peoria, El Mirage, Litchfield Park, Goodyear, Glendale, Sun City, and Buckeye, per its own service-area listing.
“We Never Represent Insurance Companies”
Gerber Injury Law’s Yelp profile states its positioning about as directly as any firm in this series: “All we do is handle injury cases… At Gerber Injury Law, we are dedicated to only helping those who have been hurt by the negligence of others. We never represent insurance companies, or those that cause injury.” That plaintiffs-only exclusivity — not merely a stated preference, but a firm that Gerber built and sold once already on the same model in Florida — is the core of the firm’s differentiation from general-practice competitors.
Client reviews name additional team members handling cases directly, including an attorney or senior staff member identified as Liam in several reviews, alongside Gerber himself, suggesting a small, hands-on team rather than a high-volume intake operation.
What the Firm Handles
The firm’s caseload spans the standard West Valley injury docket: car, motorcycle, truck, and bicycle accidents; premises liability and slip-and-fall; dog bites; drunk-driving and boating accidents; medical malpractice; construction accidents; and wrongful death. Gerber’s own biography emphasizes trial willingness specifically — the firm’s marketing repeatedly returns to his prosecutorial jury-trial background as evidence that a case will be tried, not just settled, if the insurance company will not offer fair value.
The Results Board
Gerber Injury Law’s current published figures state more than $55 million recovered for clients across the firm’s history, with a 99% win-or-settlement rate reported on the firm’s own site. Readers should note that earlier, differently-worded figures on older cached pages and third-party directories have cited both a lower ($40–45 million, in materials several years old) and, in some earlier internal research notes for this series, an unverified higher figure; this profile uses the $55 million total currently published on the firm’s own site as the most recent, primary-sourced figure.
No itemized, case-by-case public results table was located for this firm; the $55 million figure is an aggregate the firm reports across its full history in both Florida and Arizona practice.
As with every aggregate figure in this series, this reflects the firm’s own reporting rather than an independently audited total, and past results do not guarantee or predict the outcome of any future matter.
What Clients Report
Reviews collected on Avvo and Yelp describe a recurring pattern of clients returning to Gerber for multiple, separate matters over the years — one reviewer described using the firm for both her own case and, separately, her daughter and grandson’s case following a head injury, crediting Gerber with directing the family to appropriate medical providers and staying personally responsive by phone and email. Reviewers repeatedly describe Gerber as approachable but not “a push over” in negotiations with insurers.
Reviews on Yelp also credit staff by name, including a team member identified as Liam, for consistent case updates alongside Gerber himself — a theme of direct, ongoing personal contact rather than a rotating case-manager system.
“He’s very responsive to my emails and calls. He listens and I like that. He’s not a push over. He got us all of our bills paid and much more.”

A Scholarship for Teen Drivers, and a Local Media Presence
Gerber Injury Law’s most concrete community initiative is the JT Safe Roads Scholarship, which the firm describes as awarding twelve defensive-driving scholarships valued at $2,000 each to teen drivers between roughly 15½ and 18 years old, aimed at building safer habits before young Arizonans start driving independently. The firm also describes itself as a regular guest on Arizona Daily Mix, a local CW7 lifestyle program, where it discusses personal injury law and driver safety with a general audience.
Ken Gerber and his wife Megan, the firm’s VP and marketing director, also host a personal media project discussing business, family, and faith, which the firm’s materials describe as a side project distinct from its legal advertising — noted here as part of how the firm presents itself publicly, rather than as a legal credential.
Peer Standing
Gerber Injury Law’s public recognition centers on client-review platforms — consistently high ratings on Avvo, Yelp, and Google — rather than Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, or comparable statewide peer-nomination lists, which were not located for Gerber or the firm as of this research pass. This profile does not use the word “specialist” for Ken Gerber, as no State Bar Board of Legal Specialization certification was located in the sources reviewed.
One item belongs here in the interest of completeness rather than recognition: Avvo’s public licensing record for Kenneth Gerber shows an admonishment — the mildest form of attorney discipline, one step below a formal reprimand, that does not affect a lawyer’s ability to practice — issued by Florida’s bar authorities in 2018, tied to his Florida license rather than his Arizona one. Avvo’s own disclosure cautions that disciplinary records may not be comprehensive or current, and recommends confirming directly with the relevant state bar; Awesome Attorneys did not locate the underlying facts of the matter and presents this only as a documented item in the public record, consistent with this series’ practice of not omitting adverse findings.
The Arizona Backdrop, in Plain English
Readers weighing a car accident or other injury claim in the West Valley should understand the rules that shape a case like the ones Gerber Injury Law handles daily. What follows is general information, not legal advice.
The two-year clock. Arizona’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident (A.R.S. § 12-542).
Fault is shared, not all-or-nothing. Arizona follows pure comparative negligence (A.R.S. § 12-2505): a claimant’s recovery is reduced by their percentage of fault but not eliminated.
Drunk-driving cases can carry extra weight. While the civil claim proceeds under ordinary negligence principles, a criminal DUI finding arising from the same crash can be significant evidence in the civil case — relevant to the firm’s stated drunk-driving-accident caseload.
Suing the government is faster and stricter. Claims against a public entity require a formal notice of claim within 180 days (A.R.S. § 12-821.01) and suit within one year (A.R.S. § 12-821).
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Gerber Injury Law’s strongest asset is the consistency of its founder’s story: a trial-tested former prosecutor who built one plaintiffs’-only practice in Florida, sold it, and built a second one in Arizona on the identical no-defense-work model — a track record that is harder to fake than a one-time marketing claim. Client reviews consistently describe the kind of direct, responsive access that smaller West Valley practices can offer relative to statewide advertising-driven firms.
The honest disclosures here are proportionate to the firm’s size: a documented Florida bar admonishment from 2018 — the mildest form of discipline, tied to the Florida license rather than Arizona standing — and a recovery-total figure that has shifted across differently-dated sources. Neither is disqualifying, but both are worth a direct conversation with the firm before hiring. For a West Valley car-accident or injury claim where a client wants a small, trial-experienced, plaintiffs-only firm, Gerber Injury Law is a reasonable one to call.
