Gelb & Gelb, P.C. Celebrates 70 Years of Pioneering Personal Injury Law

Washington, DC – This year, Gelb & Gelb, P.C., a leading personal injury law firm serving Washington, D.C., and Maryland, celebrates its 70th anniversary. Pioneering attorney and World War II veteran Joseph D. Gelb founded the firm in 1954. Since its founding, the firm has represented over 10,000 clients in the Washington, D.C., area and recovered over $150 million for its clients.

Over seven decades, the firm has gone from a small, ambitious operation to a perennial regional powerhouse. Over its history, the firm points to countless cases that affect DC residents daily. As transit attorneys, their team has reshaped how Metro buses are designed to protect future riders. As nightclub injury lawyers, their legal team has had success against the most popular bars in the region for violence against their customers. As car and truck accident lawyers, Gelb & Gelb’s attorneys have held thousands of negligent drivers responsible for injuries they caused. As wrongful death lawyers, Managing Partner Roger K. Gelb continues to win millions of dollars for his clients.

While Gelb & Gelb, P.C. has consistently been recognized for its legal prowess, its mission is to remain a small, community-oriented firm. The firm’s core belief is in serving its community, a value deeply ingrained in the three generations of Gelb attorneys. Each attorney has spent their entire life in the DC area, and they are constantly seeking new ways to give back.

For the fourth consecutive year, Gelb & Gelb has awarded their Behind The Wheel scholarship. “Our goal is not only to continue providing exceptional legal services but also to engage and give back to the community that has supported us for nearly a century,” said Roger K. Gelb, Managing Partner. “Last week, we received a letter from our 2021 recipient, a college graduate three years later, reiterating how much it meant to her that she received our scholarship. That meant everything.”
