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.

expertise and dedication and caring

We’re incredibly grateful for the outstanding legal support we received from Mark for our son’s case. From the beginning, he was professional, responsive, and genuinely caring. He took the time to explain every step of the process and answered all our questions with patience and clarity. We initia...lly used another lawyer, but she didn’t listen to us. When we texted or emailed her, she rarely responded. We felt she wasn’t on the same page with us, and when we asked questions, her answers were vague, which left us frustrated. As parents, we were new to this situation and had no experience handling a case like this. Since the first lawyer didn’t work out, we reached out to Mark. Even though we weren’t his clients yet, he immediately gave us hope during that first phone conversation. He took the time to review our son’s case and offered helpful advice. We had a strong feeling he was the right lawyer for us, so we transferred the case to him. Mark always responded to us promptly—by text or email—and truly understood us as parents. He supported what we believed in and even provided emotional reassurance, which most lawyers don’t. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, our son’s case was dismissed early—something we never thought would be possible. Mark Geller made a very difficult situation more manageable, and we always felt like we were in good hands. We highly recommend him to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney.

Excellent Lawyer

Mark is a consummate lawyer who has complete command of the law and is a great advocate for those in need of a defense attorney who will guide them through a process that is often complicated. He was a quick study of the facts of the case in which he represented my interests and was able to give me ...hope that there could be a successful resolution to the case at a time where I felt utterly hopeless. After retaining two other attorneys prior to engaging Mark and feeling like I was not being heard, I was fairly cynical until I met Mark. He immediately offered solutions to my case that I had not heard from the other attorneys and, like any good advocate, provided realistic analyses of the solutions which gave me the opportunity to make an informed decision. Ultimately, Mark was able to obtain a successful outcome for me and I firmly believe that I would be in a much worse position today had I not had the good fortune to contact him and his law firm. I would refer Mark to anyone!

Easy to work with

Working with Mark was great. He explained everything that I needed to know and helped me through every step of the process. He was the only lawyer I talked to that made me feel at ease and always reassured me that everything was going to be okay.

Without any doubt, the BEST decision EVER!

A few years ago, my life was turned upside down. Like most people, I had never had a need for a criminal defense attorney, nor did I think I would ever have to need one. Suddenly, I was in the midst of a life altering situation. This situation could potentially have threatened my job, my family, my ...reputation, even possibly my freedom. I was consumed by fear, uncertainty, confusion...all told, I was consumed by overwhelming anxiety. Through a family friend, it was suggested I contact the Law Offices of Michael Fell. I made an appointment and was brought in for a consultation. During this consultation, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting attorney Mark Geller. Mr. Geller listened to me recount the circumstances that led me to request his services, but, more importantly, got to know me as a person. We spoke for over an hour, not just about my case, but about my job, my family, my fears, and my concerns. Mr. Geller shared with me with great candor, his experience, not only professionally but personally, making me feel not only comfortable, but confident in Mr. Geller. The fear, anxiety, and concerns I had when I walked into his office with, were pacified as I left his office. Without hesitation, I retained the services of Mr. Geller. Throughout the lengthy court process, Mr. Geller kept me informed as to every action he was taking and, just as importantly, why he was taking such action. I always knew the status of my case and the next step. As this process continued over the course of a few months, I felt that Mr. Geller was more than just my attorney, he was an advocate for me, and truly cared about my circumstances. In summation, I never felt for once that I was "just another client". On the contrary, Mr. Geller made me feel like I was his priority. And if results alone could tell the whole story, Mr. Geller was able to get my case completely dismissed, without restitution, and the case sealed! In the event you find yourself in a situation where you need the expertise of a seasoned, compassionate, and motivated attorney, I would without doubt recommend Mr. Geller. His actions and advocacy got me through the toughest part of my life and for that, he will always have my gratitude.
