She's great, a genuinely kind and caring person.She gave me a step by step plan of action that assured NO JAIL TIME ,when I was certain that I was going to get jail time.She will work very hard for you.

Look no further, She is the best out there.

Jon Barnes If you are looking for someone to represent you, stop waisting your time and give Ms Andi a call. This lady is amazing. I asked her to represent me this past summer after I got stopped. She was fast to return my phone call and started giving me advice right away. After taking her advice a...nd completing the few things she asked me to do, I could not have asked for a better outcome. Most of our communication was buy email as I was in Afghanistan at the time. She is super easy to work with and talk too. As the court date approached she reassured me many times that she had everything under control and not to worry about a thing. I have to say the day I showed up to court I was nervous but her reassurance had me totally at peace about everything. So when my turn came up, she did her thing and I was in and out just like that with, a better outcome than I ever expected. This lady is awesome. So after thanking her many times and telling her what a rockstar I though she was, I was off to pay my court fees. After paying an walking back down the hall I noticed her speaking to the other party of someone she was representing. Little Ms Geloo was going after them with both barrels. I thought that I was going to have to pull her off but she was an absolute professional about it. Needless to say I would hate to be on the other side of that conversation. She was protecting her client like a mother lion would protect her cubs. I was like wow, thats a bad lady. As a Marine, I really appreciated it. I can not say enough good things about her she is just one of those awesome people that the world needs a lot more of. I know she mentioned she liked the recies peanut-butter cups, so if you want to start off on the right foot, show up with some of those. After my court case, I wanted to send them everyday. Ms Andi, thank you for all that you did for me. You took something that I was pretty worried about and made it a non issue. You even gave me a discount for being a Marine. You are the definition of awesome rockstar. Thank you so much for everything, I cant say it enough. Jon

honest and kind hearted lawyer

I first began working with Ms. Geloo about 8 years ago, and have been coming to her for any legal advise ever since. Not only is she great at what she does, but she also is very sincere and involved in every case I present her with. After working with me, I recommended her to many others and she beca...me the first lawyer anyone in my family consults with. I definitely recommend her to anyone searching for an honest and kind hearted lawyer who truly cares.

Posted by Monica | July 07, 2014 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Competent and caring

I was pulled over for speeding in Virginia on my way home from Reston to Lexington, KY. Like most people out of state, I was completely unaware of Virginia's speeding laws that made anything over 80 an automatic Class I misdemeanor (criminal) charge and mandatory court appearance, even in a 70 mph zo...ne. I didn't realize until I got home and read the ticket in detail--and then started researching Virginia traffic law on the web--exactly how much trouble I was in. I started panicking and calling various lawyers I found on the internet. Andi called me back literally within ten minutes of my first telephone contact with her, and she was calm and reassuring. She described the consequences of a reckless driving charge, and she instructed me in everything I needed to do to better improve my chances of having the charge reduced to a speeding infraction. The next two weeks were extremely stressful for me. I sent Andi numerous panicky emails and phone calls. She always responded promptly, usually literally within minutes (once even at 10:15 pm!!) ,and did her best to reassure my fears. I honestly don't know what I would've done without her. She discovered that the court had continued my case until three months later; they never notified me of that, and had she not been looking out for my interests, I might have made the long trip back out there only to discover my case wasn't going to be heard that day. The last thing I wanted was the anxiety of the case hanging over my head for three long months. Andi not only managed to get it put back on the original docket, but she also successfully negotiated my charge down from the misdemeanor to a regular speeding infraction. I will be forever grateful to Andi for her help during this tremendously stressful experience. She is competent and capable, but just as important, she is caring and compassionate toward her clients. I am happy to recommend Andi enthusiastically to anybody needing legal assistance in her area. While I have absolutely no intention of ever needing a defense attorney again in my life (and I most certainly will never drive above 70 mph on the Virginia highways again...), if I ever did, I'd want to have Andi represent me.

When you need the best on your side... Go with Andi

What can I say... You can't ask for much more than an attorney like Andi....who is responsive, smart and gets results. If she can't help you she will say so. But if she can, she will. I had some tough things stacked against me and she still got a reduced sentence! Yes, she works wonders. She is an am...azing lawyer and I recommend her to everyone. And did I mention she is gorgeous. That certainly can help. However, When you come right down to it, the person you are really dealing with is not exactly the judge, but the Commonwealth Attorney. He was the one that she was negotiating with on my behalf. Andi lights up the room, and in these situations, you need every angle covered. I can't recommend her more highly!
