Atty Catherine Geary is the BEST

Catherine handled my husband's personal injury case top notch! We found her on AVVO with the top rating possible, that being a 10. We interviewed with her and when she said she would take us on as clients, we felt a burden had been lifted from our shoulders. She handled our case in a professional ...manner. She answered all emails, even on the weekend, and called us when we least expected it. We were kept up to date on all aspects of this case. She could tell when we were stressed and a simple unexpected phone call from Catherine eased us. She is professional, easy to work with and she truly puts the client before herself. She always has a smile on her face. She deserves more than 5 stars. If the need arises for us to use an Attorney, we will call Catherine Geary without hesitation. No need to check around with other Attorneys. Not only was she our Attorney, but our confidante, and someone we can call a friend. We hope our paths cross again on a different avenue. Thank you Catherine for representing my husband and myself. We are truly blessed we found you. You deserve only the best.

An excelent, hard working person who will always have your best intrest in mind.

Catherine worked hard to make sure I was represented in the best way possible. She always got right back to me when I called with a question. She kept me informed and spoke to me with great respect. She was able to close the case in a timely manner. In a time of emotional turmoil, Catherine was alway...s there to help. Hands down most professional attorney around.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
