Bowie, Maryland – In 1954, Joseph Gelb founded Gelb & Gelb, P.C. with a vision of a safer Maryland. Joe Gelb was a World War II veteran and a pioneer in personal injury law in the region. He led a respected legal team that served thousands of Maryland car accident victims at a time when safety technology and road infrastructure were lacking. Joe played a pivotal role in many cases, setting a precedent that benefits accident victims today. He had a presence in the courtroom that could only be described as commanding and persuasive. His articulate arguments and relatable insight into personal injury and truck accident law often swayed juries and judges alike, earning him a reputation as a formidable advocate for his clients.

When Joe’s son, Roger Gelb, was admitted to the Maryland Bar in the early 1990s, he took the reins and led Gelb & Gelb to what it is today, a top car accident law firm in Maryland. Beyond the thousands of car accident victims that Roger Gelb has represented in his career spanning more than three decades, he has carved a niche for the firm in representing wrongful death victims and handling slip and fall cases. During Roger’s tenure, Gelb & Gelb has eclipsed over 10,000 cases resolved for clients and over $150,000,000 recovered for injuries sustained in Maryland. Roger has been recognized numerous times during a career synonymous with a high ethical standard and impressive client results.

Now, a third-generation attorney, Brian Gelb practices personal injury law in Gelb & Gelb’s Maryland office in Prince George’s County. Brian brings a fresh perspective and a deep respect for the firm’s historical values and achievements. Brian has enjoyed early success in several legal contexts, including car accident and nightclub injury cases. He has already found creative resolutions to complex cases for his clients. “I get what has made Gelb & Gelb successful over the last 70 years,” says Brian. “My goal is to introduce innovative legal strategies while maintaining the traditions that have made our firm a valuable asset to its clients for seven decades. We have put our clients first for 70 years and will continue to do that for decades to come.”
