Fraudulent Release of Title

It gives me immense pleasure to give Mrs. Amy A. Geistweidt the highest approval rating one can ever give to a truly amazing performance attorney. I provided Amy with all the pertinent details to work my case (Four Fraudulent attempts for Possession and Title Obstruction) from my Ex-husband to obscu...re my title, and she took off from there, while keeping me informed of all the updates. She with the collaboration of her team coordinated promptly the entire process making me feel very confident and comfortable with the Attorney I had selected. I can say that Amy and her staff worked relentlessly to achieve a successful result at the court hearing. Amy’s performance and professionalism at court liberated me from 5 years of constant maliciously harassment. When I thought it was too much to handle, she gave me the peace I yearned for 5 years of relentless torture. Thank you Amy.

Awesome Family Attorney

Amy is the most honest, hard-working and brilliant attorney you can hire. Under "normal" circumstances in the US, less than 7% of men seeking full custody win. My case was anything but normal. I'm a 60 year-old man going for full custody. Amy did an excellent job of gathering our evidence, organizing... it and presenting it to a jury. We had a three day trial and we won! Hire Amy, listen to her advice, follow her instructions and you'll achieve the most positive outcome for your child.

Amy (Awesome Attorney) Geisweidt

Mrs. Geisweidt is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!! There was certainly nothing typical about our case. Working with us from across the United States, Amy dedicated herself to removing any barriers (communicative/geographical) that would slow progress. She went far beyond anything I would have expected whe...n it came to coordinating meetings, telephone/video calls, and court scheduling. Mrs. Geisweidt was thorough in every aspect of our case, always leaving us with a strong sense of confidence that she’s diligently working on it. Throughout the duration of the suit, Mrs. Geisweidt always made it a top priority to keep us “in the know”…

Excellent Representation

Ms. Geistweidt came highly recommended after my original attorney had been unable to make progress on my case. Ms. Geistweidt and her team made certain I understood all necessary steps and timeframes to complete my divorce, and were incredibly attentive, thorough, and compassionate.

Best Divorce Attorney

I hired Amy to represent me in my divorce, and I’m so happy that I did! She is extremely competent, knowledgeable and caring. She truly listened to what I had to say and empowered me with her guidance, advice and support. I put myself, my children and our future in her hands, and the outcome was bet...ter than I could have imagined. She truly cares and it shows!

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.
