Relationship: Friend

"I endorse attorney Holly Gieszl. I have known her since 2008. She is truly one of the best lawyers in Arizona. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience and she is a true genius. I unequivocally endorse her as being one of the most honest and diligent lawyers around. She cares about her clients. She is not intimidated by the imbalance of power inherent in representing clients who are up against over-resourced and intimidating government bureaucracies. And I can tell you with complete certainty that the "caution" label that AVVO.com has stamped upon her profile is profoundly myopic. Holly is the most ethical person I know. Such a label is the battle scar a loyal soldier receives when his cowardly captain has ensnared him as a scapegoat to veil his own dark heart. It is the slogan of an empty charade, engineered by charlatans of middling intellect. Oh, what a testament to Holly's mettle--that she has walked through fields of fire and emerges transcendent. I am honored to know her."
