BEWARE HE WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND STOP ANSWERING!

This man has screwed over countless families over the years, don’t make the same mistake as I did by giving him your money.

Posted by anonymous | July 17, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

RUN FAST!

Mr. Jared Geist has taken an oath and not followed that oath as his reviews clearly express. He has cost victims an enormous amount of time and money and food off of their table. He takes your money and then does not complete what he was hired for. Jared Geist will promise to call and that does no...t happen. He will apologize consistently and promise to address your matters and never does, and then it is to late to address your case. This attorney should no longer be able to impact/hurt innocent people. Shame, shame, shame on him.

Bad lawyer

If you want an attorney who knows nothing but is willing to do as he is told by those higher up despite the fact that what he is being told to do could subject him to malpractice and extensive ethical violations than this is your guy! He is either that dumb or that crooked. Pick your poison when it c...omes to Geist. Or you can disregard him all together and select a good guy. I recommend the latter.

Posted by Josh | May 19, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Time lost, money wasted, & key facts for my case now unusable due to lack of basic diligence

Everything started off well and we were told everything is going to go well as we had a cut and dry easy case. Once the initial motion was filed my case was put on the back burner. Ignored emails, phone calls, missed meetings, and incorrectly formatted court docs were just the tip of the iceberg. It’...s still hard for me to comprehend how badly Jared butchered my simple case. If you are going up against even a slightly competent attorney I urge you to look elsewhere. Jared single handily caused my family harm that will take years and tens of thousands of dollars to repair.

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.
