For more than four decades, Gerald has focused on representing individuals seriously injured through the negligence of others, and families of individuals who have died as a result of that negligence. His practice covers personal injury, motor vehicle accidents, commercial trucking accidents, and wrongful death. He recovered more than $15 million for clients in 2016 alone. In 2016, Gerald and Gus McDonald set recovery records in multiple Georgia courts.

Gerald has litigated cases in state and federal courts across Georgia. He has handled criminal and civil jury trials, bench trials, and appeals in the Georgia Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of Georgia. He has appeared in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit.

He is a deacon at the largest church in Habersham County and has deep roots in this community that stretch back generations.
