Experience, Professionalism and Kindness

Geri Landau Squire has been my Divorce attorney since 2004. She came highly recommended by another attorney, and I interviewed a few lawyers before deciding to work with Geri. Every single meeting we had during the divorce proceedings, and continue to have every once in a while to clarify questions... I have, is enormously helpful. Geri is very knowledgeable and experienced in her area of the law, and guided me through a very stressful process with care and concern. I am so very grateful to have her expertise and guidance. Add to all that her beautiful compassion and kindness to her clients, and truly, there is no one better. I’ve personally recommended her to many, and am happy to leave this review here.

No Lifetime Alimony!!!!

When you have to pay lifetime alimony and try to end it, can be a daunting task. Geri took on my case as Covid was in full force and did a tremendous job in winning my case. This was. not an easy case but was settled to my satisfaction because of her expertise, and the lifetime alimony ended.

Geri will fight for you!

I can’t praise Geri enough for her help in my divorce. It was a long term marriage with a lot of trauma. My divorce happened at the beginning of Covid so I never met with her or anyone else involved in person. It was all done on zoom which made it even more stressful. Geri was my support system and a...dvisor throughout the entire process. She knew what was best. I always took her advice. With over forty years experience and skills in family law she helped me obtain the best settlement possible. She recommended using an accountant and recommended one, which was very valuable to me. Geri also helped me with paperwork that needed signing after the divorce. She is well respected by all her colleagues and the ultimate professional because of her integrity. Not only that, she will fight for you. Thank you Geri!

Divorcee

After my first lawyer failed me miserably and made the divorce process twice as streeful, Geri came very highly recommended by a friend..once the process began with Geri as my lawyer, I began to sleep again at night. She was wonderfully professional, friendly, extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, ...kind, understanding and stern. Divorce seems like a never ending process and especially difficult during covid time, but Geri always assured me that it wasn't my forever and that we would get through it together...and we did... fast forward 15 months and I am living a happy, peaceful life.
