An Excellent Advocate

Earlier this year, I hired Mr. Geer to represent me in an Investigative Hearing to determine my admission to the Florida Bar. Anyone who has received that letter understands the stress and fear that comes with it. Mr. Geer and his gracious wife were there every step of the way to ensure that I kn...ew what was necessary in order to be successful in my quest for admission. Notably, we dealt with the hearing during the current pandemic and held our hearing via Zoom, which brings its own difficulties like taking away the human/emotional element during an argument. Even so, Mr. Geer developed a solid strategy that led to the Board recommending my admission a couple weeks later. If you are in need of someone that will hear you out, provide candid advice, and develop and implement a winning strategy, then I strongly recommend contacting Mr. Geer. This man helped me obtain one of my dreams, and he might be able to help you too.

An amazing advocate!

I retained Brett's services and am so happy I did. He guided me through the process, calmed my fears and concerns, and was a true advocate throughout. With his impressive credentials and experience, I trusted him to obtain a positive and just outcome in my case. I was not disappointed. Paula was also... so kind to me and such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend the Geer Law Firm should you ever need their services.

Effective and Calming Presence

Brett guided me (a law student) through the very difficult and anxiety-inducing character and fitness process with ease. He made tasks required easier and kept me calm throughout the hearing. I received the results I hoped for. Thanks Brett!

FBBE Hearing? You need Brett Geer.

I was notified of my FBBE Hearing and immediately hired Brett Geer. This was the best choice I could have made. Mr. Geer is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in these matters and will not sugar coat the process. Mr. Geer prepared me for the unknown and equipped me with the necessary tools to re...ceive clearance. I strongly encourage anyone who runs a ground in the waters of the FBBE to give Brett Geer a call.

Experienced former bar prosecutor

If you have any questions or difficulties regarding your Florida Bar application, or if you've already submitted the application and have received a request from the Board, and you are unsure of how to respond, then hire Mr. Geer, a former Bar prosecutor whom I cannot recommend highly enough. He walk...ed me through every step of the application process and then led me through the ensuing maze of correspondence. I found his help invaluable throughout the entire process. Mr. Geer is aware of the psychological toll these investigations take on bar applicants, and his reassuring presence is greatly ameliorating. At the same time, he does not coddle; he will "give it to you straight" and will expect you to act like what you wish to become, an attorney. Instead of asking, "Do my issues rise to the level of needing a lawyer," ask yourself, "How important is it that I become a lawyer as soon as possible?" If the answer is, "Very important," then regardless of your issues, even if you have none, I would recommend hiring Mr. Geer, and the earlier in the process the better.

"Brett is a highly intelligent and practical attorney. Applying, to the Florida bar is an in-depth and convoluted process that can be filled with landmines. I’m a tax attorney with years of experience opposing the IRS. The Florida Board of Bar Examiners are similar to IRS Revenue Agents except they are auditing your life as opposed to a tax return. Brett adeptly guided me through the process with a re-assuring demeanor. I highly recommend Brett to any out of state attorney applying to the Florida Bar as well as any Florida attorneys with disciplinary issues."
