Leon A Geller

Leon Geller was my attorney on a driving while impaired charge,and, over a year's time did and excellent job for me in first minimizing the impact of suspension/restriction of my driver's license with the DMV, in two hearings with them, and then ultimately achieving a probation before judgement on th...e DUI charge itself in Montgomery County Circuit Court. He guided and counseled me to first get involved with the Right Turn Impact Program and Maryland Counseling Service before going to trial, and then to remain positive in my personal testimony at the trial itself which, resulted in no jail time, fine, community service or interlock restriction, despite the fact that this was not my first offense; a followup hearing from his motion for modification of sentence then, months later, garnered the PBJ. His skill in not only negotiating with prosecutors, but also in effectively sequencing these hearings and trial events and getting in front of the best judge in the right court significantly impacted on these positive results in my view, as our initial appearance in District Court first indicated to him that a harsher penalty would be the result there on our trial date, before he chose instead to move our trial over to Circuit Court before a more sympathetic judge. I would, as a result, strongly recommend Mr. Geller to any individual in a similar situation, his impressive credentials precede him, and he certainly delivered well for me in what he achieved for my case.

Experienced, competent, thorough, accommodating, communicative, and professional, at less than half the fee quoted by many other nearby legal services. Almost too good to be true, cannot recommend enough! I sought help from several lawyers in the Rockville, MD area after encountering some legal pr...oblems. I called Mr. Geller's office and his wonderful assistant Jocelyn took some details and quickly put me in touch with Mr. Geller. Despite not being in the office, Mr. Geller called me back on the phone within hours the same day, while he was still on the road. Already going out of his way for a brand-new client, who might not even choose his legal services; a very reassuring sign. He scheduled a free in-person consultation, during which he further reviewed my case and explained my options in extreme detail. And I really do mean extreeeme detail. Every single possible scenario and outcome was meticulously explained several times to help me make the most well thought-out and well-informed decision possible. He quoted me a surprisingly low fee; literally one-half to one-third the price of several other nearby legal services I explored. His payment plan was very accommodating as well; half to officially take my case and the remainder after my court date when my case was resolved. I took a few days to think it over before choosing Mr. Geller's services. He immediately sprung into action and sent off multiple forms and documents that he had already prepared for my case, before I had even paid him. Jocelyn kept me constantly updated via phone and email, making sure I always knew what was going on and that no decisions were made without my informed consent. There were no surprises though; Mr. Geller's analyses and predictions for my case were always spot on. On my court date, Mr. Geller accompanied me and resolved my case exactly as planned, in the best possible manner. He worked with the prosecutor to get a "nolle prosequi" for all of my charges and eventually have them expunged altogether. Could not be happier with the end result. A clean record is priceless! In addition to his legal prowess and expertise, Mr. Geller is an all-around wonderful person. Respectful, patient, careful, respectful, hard-working, approachable, pragmatic, and intelligent. At first he may come across as soft-spoken and unassuming (far from the loud, brash lawyers depicted in Hollywood), but he is the real deal. He's been working as a lawyer in the Rockville area for over 25 years and knows the judges and prosecutors well. Your legal situation may seem like the end of the world, but it's well within the capabilities of Mr. Geller, who has successfully handled thousands of cases just like it over his career. Highly, highly recommended! Thank you Leon and Jocelyn!

Attorney Leon Geller is a quality attorney. His competence is evidenced by his many satisfied clients - I am one - and can attest to his tenacity and prudent aggression in and out of the courtroom. I was charged with possession of CDS here in Montgomery County, MD. During discovery, the Rockville ...police provided the body camera footage - two hours worth - of the encounter and subsequent arrest. It was fortunate that they included this footage, because it proved they failed to ask for consent to search me, which was contrary to their written statement if facts. Attorney Geller siezed upon this inconsistency and brought this to the prosecution, which realized they had a choice between standing behind a flawed police report and/or asking a peace officer to perjure himself on the stand. The case was nolle prosequi on all charges before I even set foot in District Court. Beside his attention to detail, he was genuinely concerned with my health, following closely my progress in treatment, conferring with pretrial and probation officers, even came in to his office on a Sunday after recent invasive knee surgery to discuss an imminent court date. He stuck with the case for months as the state asked for postponement after postponement... His fee for the services rendered was so far below some of his colleagues, I was truly astounded. If you're in a bind in Montgomery County, MD this is who you want by your side as you stand tall before The Man.

I've worked with top level attorneys for 20 years in my profession but reached out to Mr. Geller for a personal matter. He is very experienced and knowledgeable attorney that I can tell puts the needs of his clients first. Very accessible and approachable in asking questions and I would recommend h...is services to others in need of a top-notch criminal attorney in Maryland.

Attorney Geller represented a family member facing a serious charge in Montgomery County district court. The state filed multiple charges that could have resulted in over 5 year of confinement and the possibility of more time due to a parole violation. Prior to the case going to trial Attorney Gelle...r worked with our family to explain the charges, the evidence and possible outcomes if the case were to go to trial. He reviewed the case files and prepare for trial while on vacation. Attorney Geller went above and beyond in assisting our family navigate the criminal justice system and mental health programs in Montgomery County, by speaking with mental health professionals and explaining the circumstances leading to the criminal charges and advocating for the case to be adjudicated in the mental health court. While the case was not transferred to the mental health court, Attorney Geller negotiate with the prosecution for a lesser charge in a favorable plea agreement .
