Posted by Giselle | November 10, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Excellent Beyond Words

This is long overdue, my case was in April 2016. My name is Giselle Gonzalez I live in the Central Florida area. After losing employment as well as divorced, life became tough. Being a single mom with a special needs child is very hard especially with all the doctors appointments and therapy schedule...s that follow. I fell behind on all my bills and found myself in a situation I could no longer get out of alone. I worked with Mrs. Scully and Mr. Geller on my divorce and now sought their help again with Bankruptcy. I can not tell you how absolutely wonderful and professional Mrs. Scully, Mr. Geller, Mr. Papa & Mr. Clark were towards me and my situation. The most understanding Lawyers I have had the pleasure of doing business with and will from this point on. They were with me all the way through whether it was a phone call, email and face to face. Life has become so much easier being able to focus more on my sons needs as well as mine and not on my bills. I have established credit again and am doing great! I would most definitely without any equivocations recommend all of these wonderful lawyers to my friends and family in their times of need. They kept in touch even after my divorce and bankruptcy to make sure all was well. Their staff has incredible people skills and you don’t feel like just another case number. You feel human! Thank you all again so much from the bottom of my heart! I can breathe again!

Bankruptcy Relief!!!!

Charles W. Tampa, Fl After going through very challenging financial times; I was unable to sustain my financial responsibilities and as a result i lost the ability to live the lifestyle that 25 plus years of hard work had afforded me. As you can imagine I was devastated, to arrive at such a low po...int I became very self critical needless to say my Self Esteem was equivalent to the height of a roadside Curb.!!! At some point, my Esteem level had to take a back seat to accepting responsibility for my current situation and reaching out for assistance. I then began my search for help. After consulting several Credit repair and Law firms. I felt most comfortable embracing the Law Firm of Robert M. Geller. I found Atty. Geller, Atty. Frank Papa and other associates to be: Courteous, Empathetic, Professional, Compassionate and Very Knowledgeable. Not only did their guidance afford me critical options, they provided me a flexible path to file for Bankruptcy. From the start of Filing to the actual Bankruptcy Discharge, the time involved was a blurr!!! Due to Atty Geller and his team's expertise-the Bankruptcy process was over in 60 days!! . Though I would expect Atty. Geller and his team to have moved on to the next client, that is not the case. Once my Bankruptcy Discharge was official, Atty. Geller offered me the opportunity to enroll in a course that would assist me with rebuilding my credit. The course is 720.com. Per 720.com website, you can enroll in their course for $1000.00. Atty. Geller's office enrolled me into the course at no charge!!! As a result of completing the course, in a very short period of time I have benefited from 720.com's advice!!!! As a result of my good fortune with Atty. Geller's law firm, I have and will continue to refer friends and family suffering from financial woes to the Law Firm of Robert M. Geller

Proceed with Caution!!

I would not recommend Mr. Geller. He is inattentive to my case. Furthermore, it seems like the girls in his office are the one's that did all the work on my case. I could give more details but won't for fear of reprisal. Geller is not transparent in his work. I do not trust him and wish I had never u...sed him for my bankruptcy.

Replied last May 05, 2015

I am very sorry you felt this way about me and my office. Quite frankly I am very surprised. It has been my experience from hiring legal assistants in the past that worked for other firms, that when they worked for the other firms, the assistants would meet with the initial client, meet with the client when they sign their bankruptcy case and some firms even send people who are not with the firm to attend court. It has been my practice to be different. A lawyer from our firm meets with all new clients not a legal assistant. A lawyer meets with the client when they sign their bankruptcy petition and we do not send someone to court other than a lawyer from our firm. Most clients are surprised with the amount of time lawyers in my firm spend with them including myself! Other lawyers who practice bankruptcy ask me why I spend so much time with my clients? The answer is simple, it is the right thing to do and I would not have it any other way! Yes I have an excellent staff that does a lot for my clients but they only do procedural work on the cases, I always make it my practice to meet with clients and answer their questions. Whoever wrote this comment did not mention that their bankruptcy was done improperly or that they did not get a discharge. I think there was some honest misunderstanding and I would hope this person would contact me personally so I could make it right!.

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!"
