Great Attorney

Hiring Mr. Geer to represent me in my FL bar hearing was definitely the right decision. He very knowledgeable, informative, professional & caring. I'm grateful for his hard work & guidance through this difficult process.

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.

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!

Last Minute Consultation

Brett was great. He responded to my e-mail and called me at the end of the day. We talked for about an hour, and he already knew what the Board of Bar Examiners would ask of me next while I described to him what had gone on the last two years of their character and fitness investigation. He mentio...ned certain points where I should have contacted him earlier (the *most important*: when I began applying to the Bar). I realized there were three different times when he could have entered the scene and saved me money, stress and damage to my relationships. I thought I could handle the Bar application process all by myself. Nope, I fell right into their traps, and Brett showed me exactly what those were. At the end of our discussion, Brett gave me three options, and one was obviously the best—the path of least stress and expense. Moreover, Brett made me feel a lot better about myself; that I was not a bad person--I just should have contacted him first. In this case, his consultation was free. I am too close to the finish line (?) to attempt to salvage a better result at this point. Kudos to Brett for taking the time out of his busy day—and possibly saving my marriage.

"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."
