Extremely Satisfied.

I'm satisfied beyond words with the work of Mr. Geller. He was grounded in his approach in dealing with an aggressive opposing counsel, he was supportive and informative and worked to settle my case out of court with a very positive outcome for my case. Thank you Larry, you were a blessing to find.

Larry Geller

Larry stayed involved throughout a very difficult four years of negotiations where the other party continuously agreed one week and then disagreed the next. Overall Larry provided good counsel and kept the costs as reasonable as possible.

5 stars

Mr. Geller and staff are extremely professional, respectful, and well versed in all aspects of the law. Mr. Geller is detail oriented, thorough, and very considerate of financial needs of his clients. I highly recommend this office.

A Tribute To The Profession

I worked with Larry on a contentious matter recently. He was always professional, gracious and impressed me with his tenacious representation of his client. He is a tribute to the profession, and I do intend to cross-refer to him.

Recent client with a Judgment division of property issue

Mr. Geller and the ladies in his office were very helpful and knowledgeable. Mr. Geller listened to my problem and provided a constructive plan. He was able to resolve my family law issue quickly and without the need for a court appearance; everything was prepared in the office and then approved by t...he court. I would recommend this firm to anyone with need for a family law attorney.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Lawrence Geller is a terrific lawyer and a class act. We were opposng counsel on an acrimonious case involving a claim for support arrearages and custody/move-away. Our clients could not have been more intransigent. Mr. Geller was a zealous advocate for his client, but he remained professional and courteous. His experience and wisdom was apparent throughout the pendency of the case, which benefitted all of us. It was clear that he was respected by other attorneys in the courtroom and by the judge. Despite being opposing counsel, he also earned my respect. I am happy to know him and endorse him."
