Divorce Attorney
I hired him as my divorce attorney after my wife had an affair. Not only did he keep me focused on a positive outcome for my daughter, but he also left me with lasting advice about making sure to not let my feelings cloud what’s best for my daughter. Great lawyer from what I experienced.

Calm & Analytical
Having several degrees myself, I have tremendous respect for Geric's sharp mind as well as his confident, calming attitude. He is efficient and will not waste your time or his own. He will bring your case to a satisfactory conclusion.

Replied last August 7, 2022Ms. Tammi Jones fails to tell you that she tried to sue me in Dallas County - her home county. She complained that I did not do my job and wanted her money back. (Precinct 1 Place 1 - JS2100838H) The Judge told her that it looked like I was the only attorney out of four that actually got a positive result for her. When I was hired, she had not seen her kids for over a year and within 90 days I help get that changed and she was able to see her kids. The Judge said I did my job. Also, the State Bar complaint was reviewed and dismissed, once again, I did nothing wrong. Sometimes a case is very difficult and requires more time to get progress. Noone controls the pace except the judge.

Nightmare
Lousy lawyer like a nightmare you can’t wake up. Pay him lots of money which a court appointed lawyer can do same job .promising hope but nothing but a lost cause.

Replied last July 21, 2021Sadly, anyone can post things anonymously. Please be specific about your case so that it can be properly addressed. It is my belief that one of my former clients is having others post out of revenge. You can see the post by Melanie.

Even though my client ultimately one custody I was impressed with Mr. Tipsword's ability as an advocate."
