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.

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.

Blessed to find a Passionate, Efficient, and Effective Team!!

I used Mr. Geller for a family law (child custody/ support/ divorce) case after I had moved out of state (with permission from the children's father). Prior to hiring Mr. Geller in 1Q2013, my divorce had been ongoing for some time while trying to settle amicably. I was out of state (East Coast) and... found it difficult to work with my previous lawyer's office who just did not seem to understand my demanding schedule and time constraints yet dire need to obtain resolution. From the start, it was very easy to work with Mr. Geller's office. After consulting with and strategizing with Mr. Geller, he presented several options and we discussed the pros and cons of several. We formulated a plan that both he and I felt comfortable with and we proceeded. When serious and urgent issues came up, Mr. Geller and the office staff worked diligently and rapidly to resolve and did so successfully with 100% of my liking. They were efficient, the strategy effective, and really understood my wants and needs. Time and time again, they provided sound advice with regard to my case--I knew I was in good hands. They were always respectful and attentive, easy to communicate with and genuine. With little children and being a single mom, it was difficult to make time; however Mr. Geller's office was always understanding and accommodating--even helping to arrange calls at times more convenient for me. My first lawyer from another firm left me with some pessimism about law practices, but I can honestly say, this firm restored my faith in trusting another firm and lawyer with my legal matters especially concerning my most precious possessions--my children--their best interests and my ability to continue to provide to them. From the bottom of my heart--I couldn't have hoped for a better lawyer and paralegal team. I'm very happy with the outcome of my case and the strategy we have in place going forward. Working with Mr. Geller and his team showed me that clients can be happy while matters remain civil and respectful and truly demonstrate Mr. Geller and his team's pride for the legal profession. I hope I never have to go through legal matters like this again, but I would truly be blessed if I needed to and was able to do so with a team like I had with Mr. Geller and his staff.

A Good Divorce Lawyer

Larry represented me in a divorce case. He is very knowledgeable about the law, case history and the court system. He is a good listener for his Client's concerns and good at explaining the law in layman's terms. A man of high professional integrity who gave me confidence in his abilities. Larry was ...always accessible, gave my case good attention and acted promptly. From the outset, Larry sought a fair settlement, gave me good advice and held his ground with opposing attorney. In summary - highly recommended.

"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."
