Abandoned us with no explanation halfway through after 1.5 long relationship

We utilized Jerome for almost a year and half for various real estate matters: contracts, property management agreements and then a dispute we had with a GC who took our money and abandoned the job. I approached Jerome about this matter in March of 23'. He gave me specific instructions on what to do ...and we followed his lead for two months. We had a phone call on 5/18 where we laid out a game plan for the next 30 days to approach the contractor about mediation/arbitration. The next week, I get these weird email form him basically saying that I hadn't provided clear information about our case. I call, email, text. Then a week and half later, without the decency of a phone call, he tells me won't represent us anymore. Mind you, Jerome had a "big case" the week before. It appears Jerome got overly busy and abandoned us halfway through the process without even the respect of a phone call or proper explanation. In my twelve and half years of being an entrepreneur this has only happen to me with contractors; never an attorney. What a guy!

JR delivered justice for military family.

We found Jerome (JR) Geraghty on a websearch. We contacted him about a real estate contract issue. He worked tirelessly and was very thorough in the whole process. He is straightforward and open about everything. He was willing to work within our budget. In the end, we ended up going to trial, which ...he was well prepared for. I highly recommend this talented attorney.

Laywer

Jerome isn't your normal lawyer. When we realized our seller had done us wrong, I emailed a quite few law offices immediately to find out what exactly we were looking at. This was on a Friday so I did not expect to hear from anyone until at least Monday. Jerome wrote me that Saturday telling me to ca...ll him the following Monday to talk about the issues we were having. Unlike most the offices, some of which didn't even respond, he was willing to listen to what was going on before charging an exorbitant fee. Sometimes you just want to know you even have a case, let alone the fact we were upset with our seller because of expenses we now had to pay---we don't have$500 to be told there's nothing even to stand on. I called Jerome that Monday and after discussing the minuscule amount we're asking for in contractual fairness from our seller, he was honest that we had a case but it wasn't worth us utilizing his full services. Honest. AND THEN, He kindly offered to read over our mediation letter to our seller and give minimal professional advice, because he's like, a real human being and cares. He followed through with his promise when we sent him the draft, even after 2 months of gathering all our info. He called back less than 2 days later to discuss and give us some pointers. I want to be clear that his advice was straight and to the point--but nothing elaborate. I don't want there to be a misunderstanding that Jerome works for free, haha. I just want to illustrate to everyone that he's one of the good ones. He's honest and caring, and fair. He saw 2 first-time homeowner's getting the short end and he believes in right and wrong. There is no doubt if our seller continues to be a douche, and we unfortunately have to go to court, the we will use Geraghty Law Office. We will be forever grateful for Jerome's kindness regardless of the outcome.

Geraghty Law Firm exceeded expectations

JR was amazing, I can't say enough good things about him. He thoroughly reviewed my situation as to a real estate issue I was having and he was very clear as to what the options were and what the approach would be. Despite the outlook of my case he got the exact desired outcome I was hoping for, I ju...st wish I had contacted him earlier before I got myself into a mess. I spoke to several law firms and he was by far the most responsive and the only one willing to tell me what I was looking at up front. I'm so glad I found Geraghty law firm, I highly recommend hiring JR.

Business Contract

We hired JR to write up a contract for us to hire an independent contractor at our business. He took the time to talk with us to understand our specific situation, and was very helpful in explaining what we were and were not allowed to do and how best to structure our agreement. We enjoyed working ...with JR and are very happy with the result!
