Child Custody/Support Case

Attorney Geraldine Johnson is the reason I was able to get 50/50 custody of my eleven year old daughter. After 10 years of being a very activate father in my child's life, my parental rights were practically taken away. I felt overwhelmed and defeated by the process. I decided to retained Attorney ...Geraldine to help me navigate the child custody court process. She designed a detailed plan to fight against a system designed to work against equal rights for both parents. You will be extremely happy with Attorney Geraldine's experience in law and her persuasive tactics to get results! I needed an attorney who was willing to fight for my rights and inclined to defend my daughter's rights as well. She will design a "battle plan" to get the outcome you deserve! Attorney Johnson "fits the bill."

Civil Matter

Geraldine represented my family in a civil dispute with a tenant. We are happy with the outcome. She was always on time when we had court hearings. She gave us reminders prior to each court hearing. Each court date was about 1 mo apart, and she was thoroughly prepared each time. She sent us copies of... everything that was filed with the court from the other party so that we could keep for our records and review what was filed. She made the process very easy and smooth for us. Highly recommend Geraldine as your attorney!

Outstanding divorce attorney

I decided to work with Geraldine as my divorce attorney based on excellent reviews. I am so very glad that I chose her as my attorney. First, she is a most accommodating professional. She drove close to an hour one way to meet with me on two occasions, at the beginning and the end of my divorce proce...edings. Next, she is very prompt and punctual. She does exactly what she says she will and within the timeframe that she promises. Also, communication and follow up from her was top notch. Geraldine would always respond to my communications in a very timely manner, often within the very same day; and certainly by the next day. Not only that, but she is a tremendously positive person. She did a great job making me feel at ease and confident through the whole divorce process. Her representation of me was incredible. She advocated for me and worked very hard to ensure I would be treated fairly in my case. Payment was also done with great peace of mind. Her rate was very reasonable and she worked with me on the payment. In conclusion, Geraldine was an amazing attorney who handled my divorce case with incredible professionalism. Thank you so much Geraldine!
