Brett Alan Geer

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.

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.

Attorney Geer represented me in an FBBE Investigatory Hearing in Tampa 10/2016. I do not yet know the results of this hearing, but regardless of the outcome, I am confident that his guidance and presence raised my chances for admission exponentially. If God forbid, I end up having to go through a for...mal hearing, I'd retain him again, to guide me through the process. He is seasoned and respected by his colleagues. I sent a tremendous amount of unsolicited information for him to review, and instead of being annoyed, he took the time to actually go through it all, selecting what he thought was appropriate and presented only the most relevant and helpful evidence. He prepared me for the most probable questions, and allowed me to ask him as many questions as I needed to. The scariest part about the hearing is the unknown, and he demystified it for me, giving me the confidence to go into this hearing with the right attitude. I had 8 different areas of concern that the FBBE wanted to discuss. He went through each issue pointing out what was probably not a big deal and focused on what he perceived were going to be my biggest hurdles. His fee was a fraction of what some others charge and often when that's the case, it's because an attorney relies on volume, in order to make a living. The average fee was 7500. My main concerns prior to this hearing were (a) that I would be arriving to Tampa and meeting him for the first time at the time of the hearing. If he was no good, I'd be stuck. (b) that our telephone contact prior to the preparatory meeting had been limited and (c) that because he has been doing this so long and seems to attend the FBBE hearings year round, the most important and frightening moment of my life could be written off as no big deal, or exceedingly "routine". My issues were complex and encompassed several different areas. We met the day before the hearing and Attorney Geer was well prepared for the meeting and had a very clear idea of what he wanted to cover. There was not a ton of contact or hand holding during the period between when I hired him and the time when I met him, but I realized there really was no need for this. Everything that needed to be handled could be handled the day of that initial meeting. As an aside, any time I reached out to him by email, he or his staff responded immediately. And in terms of getting lost in the shuffle, it wasn't a huge firm, like I expected. I have no idea how many clients he handles in a given day, but I may as well have been the only one on the schedule. I got the personal attention I felt I needed, and he recognized the complexity of my file, how important this was for me, and made clear it was just as important to him. He may as well have been fighting for his own admission. A word of warning. No matter how trivial your inquiry might seem, do NOT under any circumstances go to this initial FBBE hearing on your own. You will be so sorry you did not hire counsel. Many say that the lawyer is just decorative during the hearing and their role is limited to the preparation phase. NOT SO. Attorney Geer had my complete file, tabbed up, so that when I was asked something about a tax transcript he was able to flip to it immediately and show it to me. He took copious notes of matters that the panel members seemed unsatisfied with or that he thought warranted further explanation, and used the time allotted to make the final statement, to ask me questions about those specific things, carefully eliciting the information he wanted put before the panel in a way that attempted to put any unresolved concerns to rest. Left to my own devices, I would have used that time to say, "I am a law abiding citizen, not a hooligan. Please pick me." Do whatever is necessary to come up with the money to hire counsel, and use Brett Geer. Had I hired the guy who charges 10K, I could not have fared any better than I did, regardless of the final outcome. You're in good hands.

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.

Mr. Geer is not only a great lawyer who will fight for you 110% but he also cares about his clients and their families. He worked with and for us for nearly 5 years and we knew he always had our backs. We were involved with several legal issues and the research he did was above and beyond all of the... rest. I can't thank him enough for believing in us and giving us all he had. Thank you for everything. if anyone reading this and needs a lawyer don't hesitate one minute to give this one a call...
