Posted by Bob | November 18, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Free at Last

My name is Bob and I was in credit card debt to the tune of $50,000. I had the income to pay my 18 credit cards and often paid more then the required amount. The problem was I continued to use them, so I was never paying them down. The credit card company's would always increase my limit for payi...ng on time. I was never late on any card, I was a good customer. I became a slave to the credit card company's and could not enjoy my life. I joined one of those debt consolidation company's which promises to eliminate your debt. Worse mistake I ever made. You deposit money with them and they pay the credit card company's after you have build up funds with them. They take their cut right off the top and after several months of missed payment you now have late payment fees. They tell you not to worry but as time goes by while they are building up your funds the calls start to come & your credit is getting worse. They continue to tell you don't worry & give you a statement to say over the phone to the callers. When a got a letter telling me I was going to be sued, that's when I decided to talk to Robert Geller's office. I hated the idea of filing for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy but it was the only way I could get my life back. I am now debt FREE with 1 credit card and believe me I don't miss having those 18 cards that I thought I could not be without. I should have seen Robert Geller sooner rather then later. Take it from me, they really can help. Talk to them & get your life back. Life is to short, don't let debt take it away from you.

The best bankruptcy lawyer you will find in the Tampa / St. Petersburg area!

Mr. Geller is by far the best bankruptcy lawyer you will find in the area. I had a difficult bankruptcy situation that required expert guidance and personal care. Before hiring Mr. Geller, I read reviews of hundreds of bankruptcy lawyers in the area. I also interviewed several as well. When I met... Mr. Geller I knew he was the one to help me through this difficult issue. Mr. Geller is a straight talking individual who laid out the situation for me and explained every detail involved. The one thing that impressed me the most was that on my first visit he told me "You can do this and we will see you through it". That gave me the confidence to work through this issue. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Geller and his staff treated me with respect and kindness. He and his staff explained and helped me through each and every item that needed to be completed to achieve a successful Chapter-7 discharge. If you are looking for expert legal advice and exceptional personal care in your bankruptcy then Mr. Geller is the one you want to hire.

Bankruptcy

Due to the economy and unforeseen circumstances, we had to hire an attorney. We met with Mr. Geller and was very impressed. He gave us advise and showed us what we needed to do. He was very knowledgeable about bankruptcy and gave us the right way to go. The whole process was very painless because... of him. He is a wonderful person and really cares about his clients and knows his stuff. We would use him again and again if we had the need. We would recommend him to anyone. We were very happy to find him. We went through the process and came out on the other end in a good place. He gave us things to do after our discharge and helped us tremendously. He is there for us after all of this and we appreciate how he treated us. We never felt that we were losers in any way. We were told we could contact him anytime if we needed some help or had any questions. GREAT ATTORNEY!!!!!!!! Thank you Mr. Geller for all of your help.

This Review is on Frank Papa

Frank was great help! He explained thoroughly and was so understanding and really cared about my situation and personal life in a good way. He put me on a payment plan and my Bankruptcy was handled great. Anytime I had a issue during my automatic stay it was addressed. He was super busy and did a lo...t of worked i wasn't passed down to a para-legal. I feel he get pressured a lot from the firm cause he is so busy. I had one interaction with Robert Gelllar and honestly he didn't help me at all and kinda threw my away it seemed!

Posted by Lydia | June 16, 2015 | Debt Collection

Exactly what we needed!

Due to unforeseen events, my wages were garnished. Mr. Papa took action immediately! He was straight forward with the events to take place and he had absolutely no hidden agendas or unnecessary billings. It was simply, " I need you to do this... then this and I will do this." I would recommend this o...ffice if you are looking for a group of professional attorneys that will educate and gently guide you through your unfortunate situation(s). Mr. Papa is knowable in many areas and takes the time to listen. I have recommend this law office to 2 individuals and they have also had a pleasant experience. When events take place in your life make this office your first stop. You will not regret it. I am only a client and have never rated a facility on line but I feel that they deserve it.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I have worked for Robert for more than 18 years. You could say that Robert has taught me everything that I know in the practice areas of bankruptcy and personal injury. He is recognized in the industry and by our colleagues as an expert in the field of consumer bankruptcy. Robert represents his clients passionately and vigorously. He has taught me to be a compassionate and empathetic counselor to our clients, many of whom are dealing with life's most difficult challenges and hardships. He will work selflessly and tirelessly until he has delivered the result and relief that his clients so desperately need and deserve. I am an intensive advocate for my clients because Robert Geller mentored my development as an attorney from the day I started as a law clerk with his practice more than 18 years ago continuously through my nearly 17 years of practice. To say it simply. . . Robert Geller is the best bankruptcy attorney that I know!"
