He’s not just your lawyer. He’s your leverage.

Mark Geller is exactly the kind of attorney you hope you’ll never need, but feel incredibly lucky to find if you do. I recommend him without hesitation. From our first call, he was sharp, measured, and entirely unshaken. He immediately understood both the legal and reputational implications of my ...situation and moved swiftly to present a compelling case to the City Attorney. His proactive strategy neutralized the risk and shifted the entire trajectory of this matter - and quite frankly, my life). Because of his judgment, reputation, and the respect he commands, the City Attorney declined to file charges. I put my career and reputation in his hands. He protected both with ruthless clarity. If you’re facing reputational or professional exposure, retain him.

Thank you Mark!!! Highly Reccomend

Mark was very knowledgeable, proactive, and responsive. I would highly reccomend Mark as he leveraged his experience and relationships to help me avoid prosecution. I can’t thank him and his team enough.

DV, Child Endangerment, and Battery case in OC - all dismissed!!

I highly recommend Mark Galler as a defense attorney. He successfully negotiated probation with a promise of dismissal for all three charges—Domestic Violence, Child Endangerment, and Battery—upon completion of a 52-week batterer's program and twice-weekly AA sessions. Throughout the process, he repr...esented me at every progress check-in hearing, making it so that I only needed to attend the final hearing. Mark is straightforward, honest, and never overpromises. If you're looking for a lawyer who operates more like a strategic partner, he absolutely delivers that impression. While he shows a fair amount of sympathy, he remains highly professional—focusing on results rather than emotional support. He values efficiency and won’t waste your time (or money) acting as a therapist. His approach is neutral, professional, and exceptionally clear. If you're in a high-stress situation and need reliable legal guidance, Mark provides thorough, detailed answers, giving you a strong understanding of what he will handle and what you need to do to ensure the best outcome. Highly recommended.

Mark is worth every penny

I reached out to Mark's firm almost immediately after being cited. After the initial consultation regarding the case, it was clear that Mark's history with the DA's office and expertise was second to none. He handled everything from the minute we got off the phone to corresponding with the DA's offic...e regarding my case and ultimately got my case dropped before charges were ever filed. His connections are second to none in handling criminal defense matters, and are absolutely invaluable to anyone that values their record. Do not hesitate with any criminal defense matter when thinking about which lawyer to hire, it's an easy choice here.

Experienced Attorney Who Gives His All

I retained the services of Mark Geller through The Law Office of Michael L. Fell in Orange County, California and was represented until the completion of my case in 2024. Mark Geller understands the role of a prosecutor so well; he delivers a clear explanation of standard outcomes so you understand ...the environment of the court yet the insight to see beyond those as the only options. You can trust his word and while he certainly has the skill to go to trial if needed, he had the experience to deliver a positive result similar to acquittal through fair and successful negotiation with the District Attorney's office for me. This offered an expedited time frame, opposed to a trial. It greatly reduced my overall expense and emotional distress. The firm also has victims rights experience resulting in a broader perspective which helps their clients receive great consideration if they have been victims of domestic violence in their overall situation, as in my case. Mark Geller and team stand above others because of the level of respect you'll receive as a client. In terms of results, all four of the charges, which included felony charges in my case, were dismissed by the Orange County District Attorney's office as Mark worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome. Because false statements were made to Newport Beach police by my abusive domestic partner on the date of incident, these felony charges resulted. Proving this was based on false information was critically important to me from the start. Mark Geller examined a mountain of evidence discovering this truth and was skilled enough to successfully present it for acceptance by the District Attorney's office. As a result, I was exonerated from these false accusations and feel I received a fair resolution to the case. I would not have the outcome I have today without the skill, experience, and dedication for justice from Mark Geller and the Law Office of Michael L. Fell.
