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.

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.

Compassionate, Highly Effective Professional

Mr. Geller represented me in a painfully difficult domestic violence case. Mr. Geller is trustworthy, kind, sturdy, and he is a consummate professional as well as a masterful expert in lawyering. He was successful in helping me to acquire a Permanent Domestic Violence Retraining Order against a forme...r spouse. More than his unmatched professional success on my case, Mr. Geller truly cares about those he represents, protects and serves. I felt that deeply. Mr. Geller provided me with tremendous expertise and emotional support during a very difficult time, and he restored my faith and trust in ways that words can't articulate in such a review. You could not be in better hands if you have this skillful former prosecutor and lawyer in your corner. He is a passionate advocate who is exemplary of the best parts of humanity.
