TERRIBLE

Philip lied to me by telling me that I would be represented by him. Then he sent his wife to court in his place after we agreed that I would be represented by a man for my domestic violence case. Are that point his wife. Also his partner, which is totally unprofessional imo. Told me that she wo...uld be continuing my case because she was not able to catch up on it. I fired them both for waisting my time. And I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for representation. Not only that, but his front desk lady was exceedingly rude every time I had to speak to her. One word, TERRIBLE

Excellent attorney who doesn't give up

Phillip was referred to us by our family law attorney. We were going through a bitter custody battle and were accused of domestic violence. A few things that immediately stood out about Phillip was his straight forward approach and honesty. He never sugar coated things and let us know the possible ou...tcomes of any strategy we chose which was much appreciated. He answered all of our questions no matter how minute they were and we trusted that as soon as he heard something, he would let us know. He was extremely supportive and knowledgeable given his previous DA experience and carried himself in the courtroom with great professionalism. He knew both sides of the law and never gave up on our case. In the end through unyielding persistence, the DA dropped our case. We would definitely hire him again to represent us although we're hoping we never need to.

Professional and Compasionate

I am very pleased with the representation I received from Phillip Geigle. He was knowledgeable about the law and kept me informed throughout the process. He was successful in presenting my case and getting the judge to rule in my favor!
