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.

Mr. Geer got me Admitted to the FL BAR!!!

I had a very difficult time dealing with the FL Board of Bar Examiners. I regret not hiring Mr. Geer PRIOR to submitting my Bar Application. Nevertheless, after running into trouble with the stress of non-stop requests for information and documentation, I almost gave up on my dream of becomming an at...torney. Mr. Geer gave me hope and reassured me that he could help me. Hiring Mr. Brett Geer was one of the best INVESTMENTS I ever made into myself, my career, and my family. Mr. Geer is a remarkable attorney with the highest level of integrity, character, and is a very compassionate person that listens, understands, and sympathizes with the stresses of dealing with the Bar Examiners while also trying to study for the Bar exam.

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!

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."
