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.

Best Divorce Attorney

Geri came highly recommended to me when I needed a new attorney. I had two previous attorneys before her who handled my case poorly. Then Geri came into my life, and she has been by my side ever since. My divorce/custody was extremely complicated that last for many years. Geri is an advocate, very ...smart, and is a fireball when she is in court. I always loved watching her in action. She would prepare my cases throughout the late nights and on weekends. She returns emails and phone calls very quickly. She is a born natural attorney. She really does put her heart into her work. She was my voice, my advocate when I was lost and scared. I could go on and on, but Geri is the BEST you will ever get. I am forever grateful for everything she has done for me. She truly does care, and I always felt like I was her only client, because she put that much time and detail and heart in it for me.

Geri is my life-saver

My divorce was a very complicated case, with custody and other matters. Geri always put my son's best interest before all else, while always doing her best to help me. In the end she really helped me get the best and unbelievable outcome. Throughout the process, I was very grateful and impressed with... her integrity, dedication, professionalism, compassionate, extremely responsible, very high efficiency, and accurate foresight. Also, she has a very high level of legal presenting skills, she always presented the facts in court in a well-reasoned manner. Her clear thinking and quick response also gave me a lot of confidence. Sometimes when she was on the phone with me and my 2 year old was talking loudly next to me making it hard for us to hear each other, she always showed a motherly understanding and was always patient and let me take care of my son first. Having Geri represent me in my divorce was the best decision I ever made in my life! If you are looking for an attorney with integrity and professionalism to help you and believe my 100% true experience and feelings, contact Geri Landau Squire!

I interviewed five lawyers before I hired Geri as it is such an emotional and difficult journey. Most other lawyers used my vulnerability for their gain or said what they thought I wanted to hear and then gave the bulk of the work to an associate. Geri is intelligent, compassionate and gets the job... done as painlessly as possible.It is such a difficult time and it is important that you are confident in your attorney's ability to help you make the right decision for your circumstances.
