Jonathan Geisen: Excellent Attorney

Jonathan is the definition of what a good attorney should be. He is easy to work with, always has my best interest at heart, knows when to be tough and when to be diplomatic, and is very thorough. I can highly recommend Jonathan for anyone's corporate legal needs.

Posted by Thomas | April 15, 2010 | Business

Goes the extra mile.

Mr. Geisen helped me with a buisness transaction (buy-sell) and brought some excellent ideas to the table that saved me considerable money and even more importantly lots of heartache and headaches.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
