Don't waste your time. Once he has your money he is done.
Please do your homework before hiring someone like Morse Geller to represent you. I hired him after consulting a lawyer referral site. I thought he would be best because he was located close to the case and specifically said he had prior experience with the law firm I was dealing with at the time.

I agreed to retain him, however due to the holiday I did not send the payment right away but he sent me multiple emails about payment. (should have been a red flag) I sent him the documents pertaining to the case (specifically what stage the case was in) Once he was paid it took me almost a month to get that same friendly lawyer on the phone. He informed me he was working on the case so I accepted that. In the months to follow I hardly got him on the phone but would send multiple emails before I got a response always that he was working on the case and would update me once there was some news or something was missing.
Fast forward 3 months after he was paid I received a letter in the mail that the Sherriff office had received a notice to execute a judgment against me. When I finally got Morse on the phone his exact words were "Oh Sh*% he sent out some papers for me to sign and send back. A week later I received word from him that the requested motion was denied. We discussed why the motion was denied {The wrong papers were filed} (Mr. Geller was fully briefed about the case all the docs were sent to him. I also learned he requested docs from the law firm representing the plaintive) Mr. Geller also did not file a motion with the courts indicating he was my attorney until he filed the answer with the courts some 3 months after he was hired and paid.
Mr. Geller was aware of all the facts in the case, when he indicated he was working on the case he was not. In short his negligence in filing the papers I retained him to file in a timely matter has cost me dearly. Thanks for nothing
