He is great!

He did exactly what he was hired for and got my revoked Illinois license and California drivers licenses back for me after not having one for years because of a DUI. So friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend him highly!

Zero Communication

Paid for legal services in the amount of $1500. I haven't been able to get ahold of Mr. Geocaris via cell, email, nor text since mid 2020 on case updates/any type of communication. Very disappointing, especially after sending his firm referrals for nearly a decade.

Told what you wanted to hear to get your money

He was recommended as a good lawyer. From the very start....he said lies to get you as client. He changed his stories more then 5 times. He failed has a lawyer. Didn't get my driver's licence has he promised. He took $2.500 and ripped me off. Beware....he will tell you all is good and at the end you... end up losing with all expenses around $5.000. I highly don't recommend him. There are better lawyers out there. Has a lot of failure's. Lying is the worst thing to do to grab a client and someone that doesn't have money. But what do you expect from lawyers....they lie by nature. Away from him

  • 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.
