Posted by anonymous | September 19, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Highly recommended for difficult divorce cases

Dave Geis represented me in a very difficult and acrimonious divorce case. He was able to negotiate a satisfactory resolution when I didn’t think anyone could. I was very satisfied with the results, and I highly recommend his services. Dave and his staff are very helpful and responsive.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
