Successful Investigative Hearing

From the point that I initially consulted with Mr. Geer to the conclusion of my investigative hearing before the Florida Bar, I felt that I was in good hands and was being provided superior representation. Throughout the process, Mr. Geer was responsive, supportive, and extremely knowledgeable about... the procedure. Having Mr. Geer on my side provided me with the confidence I needed in connection with my investigative hearing. I definitely recommend Mr. Geer to those of you who are in a similar situation.

Successful investigative hearing

I hired Mr. Geer for my investigative hearing for the Florida Bar Exam. He reviewed my application, prepared me for the hearing, attended the hearing with me, and made me feel calm about the whole process. I was confident during the hearing and the clearance letter arrived just a few days later. I r...ecommend Mr. Geer for assistance with the C&F process and hearings. An experienced attorney during this process will make a difference in your case.

Excellent Representation and Outcome for a Bar Complaint

I am very thankful that I hired Brett Geer to handle a bar complaint and the outcome could not have been better. No one wants to receive a bar complaint, but Brett Geer is the person to have on your side. From inception to close, Mr. Geer strongly advocated for my position, while still handling eve...ry interaction with professionalism and courtesy. He went above and beyond, always kept me informed of any updates, and made himself available when I had questions. Not only am I grateful for the outcome of the case, but I'm also grateful for his kindness and patience as well.

The best character and fitness attorney

My biggest regret was not hiring Mr. Geer sooner. I had 2 issues on my bar application and I was extremely nervous to set a bar hearing. The bar examiners told me that I had a hearing set and I requested all of the documentation, but somehow my packet was lost in the mail and I had to reschedule. ... My husband, who is a licensed attorney and I did our research and ultimately decided to call Mr.Geer because of his amazing reviews. He was upfront with his costs and very reasonable. Even before I retained him as counsel he put in a call to the board on my behalf to receive the packet from the bar examiners. I was overwhelmed with his amount of empathy for me during the hearing. He advocated for me as if it was his own license at stake. His closing argument actually made me cry. His wife Paula was an absolute joy to work with. I can’t stress enough that if you have a character and fitness issue, you should retain Mr.Geer. I can’t thank him and his wife for all of their help. In the end, the board found that there was nothing in my file that would keep me from practicing law and there were no repercussions. Thank you so much for all of your help. I look forward to being a fellow Florida bar member with you.

"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."
