The Tampa Attorney for Bar Defense

Brett Geer and his wife Paula are fantastic at what they do. They, from the first phone call, are helpful, and polite. They explain everything you'll need, do not break your bank or waste your time. They helped me through my investigative hearing with the bar to get my clearance. With a lot of experi...ence and knowledge, you cannot go wrong hiring the Geer Law Firm.

Hire this attorney, worth the money!

Brett Geer took on a very difficult situation and with a very timely and proffessional manner resolved it for the best outcome. He and his assistant explained every step that was taken. I highly reccommend his services no matter what the price. I can see why he is a Jeopardy champion (1992)!

Fantastic Bar Defense Attorney

Mr. Geer and his wife Paula were great to work with throughout the entire process. Having to appear before the Bar for an investigative hearing is stressful, but from my very first phone call with Brett he gave solid advice on how to handle my specific issues and made me feel confident that I was in ...good hands. I could tell that he was very knowledgeable and knew how best to present my case. From the beginning I felt that he was a true advocate for ME, and it was very reassuring to have him on my side. Brett and Paula quickly responded to every email and phone call, answering all of my questions and providing guidance throughout the entire process. When we met immediately prior to the hearing, Brett and Paula spent a generous amount of time going over my case with me to fully understand all of the details, and thoroughly explained what would happen on the day of the hearing. Brett prepared me for the types of questions that might be asked, based upon his vast experience with these matters. Due to his excellent guidance, I was prepared and confident on the day of the hearing. Due to Brett's exceptional help in preparing me for the hearing, the day went off with no surprises, with the final spectacular result of my admission to the Bar. Brett went above and beyond in his representation of me, and I deeply appreciate all of his help in bringing my stressful situation to a triumphant end. He was a true advocate for me, and the best lawyer I could have hoped for to represent me. If you are looking for solid and knowledgeable representation, whatever your issue, hire Brett Geer as your attorney. You will not be sorry.

Get Bar Counsel and Get Brett Geer

Brett and his wife were great to work with and helped to resolve, in my favor, an issue quickly with the Bar that came up just before a scheduled family vacation which had been in the works for quite some time. Brett and Paula were so kind and resolved my issue in a fast and professional manner. I... am so confident in Brett's ability that I have recommended him to another attorney as well.

Excellent Counsel!

I hired Brett after receiving a notice of investigative hearing. I called his office and he answered and talked to me for quite awhile which was refreshing, other attorneys were too busy to talk and I had to wait for call backs. I had a 10-year old bankruptcy with a reaffirmed mortgage that I subsequ...ently fell behind on and lost to foreclosure. I also answered a question incorrectly on my law school application, made a typo on my bar application, and forgot to list one lawsuit on my bar application. Mr. Geer took my case with very little time to prepare (I received my notice and requested the next hearing date which was less than two weeks away). Both he and his wife helped me prepare for the hearing so I was well prepared for the questions they would ask and the hearing took about twenty minutes. Within a week of the full board vote I was admitted. In the meantime I second guessed my answers, and was so anxious but Brett and his wife always took time to reassure me. Sometimes that is priceless especially when everything you've been working for hangs in the balance! I don't recommend going to a hearing without counsel, the panel is composed of seasoned attorneys and others who could make any aspiring attorney nervous. Hire him and do it early. If I had hired him before submitting my application I probably wouldn't have had problems. The process is daunting, but Brett can make it easier. I highly recommend him, worth every penny!!

"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."
