About Jerry Gerritsen

Jerry Gerritsen, a seasoned United States Immigration Lawyer, is recognized for his expertise and dedication. He was born in Whittier, California, and began his career by managing his family's construction business. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to relocate to the Gulf Coast, where he expanded his skill set by selling real estate in the Los Angeles market while attending law school at night. Jerry graduated with a Juris Doctor degree, earning Moot Court honors.

In 2013, he furthered his education with a Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Alabama. Leveraging his business acumen, he founded a boutique luxury real estate company on the Gulf Coast, demonstrating his commitment to community service and business excellence.

Jerry's legal journey culminated on January 8, 2021, when he passed the California bar exam, a significant milestone in his 20-year educational pursuit that began at the University of Phoenix. Following this achievement, he opened his own practice with a focus on immigration law.

Currently, Jerry is preparing for the California State immigration specialist exam to become a board-certified immigration law specialist. Outside of his professional life, he enjoys travel, attending the symphony, playing tennis and soccer, participating in Church-related activities, and spending time with family.
