More than double 10 out of a perfect 10
She is so highly adept, beyond doubt, on my issues and what to expect from a case. I never have been comprehensively enlightened before by others. She is the first one to guide me. Her expertise definitely open up to direct me to see the right perspective, looking forward. Words are not enough!

Back on my feet.
In a world of penny poaching lawyers I had the misfortune of hiring who worked for themselves, not in my in my best entrusted interest Mrs. Ly came through for me.

Not a good experience
Hired Geraldine based on reviews and it was a big mistake. Other than filing some originating court documents, she did nothing. I had 6 or more unreturned phone calls into her office before I decided that she was not working and requested she no longer represent me. Today I get in the mail from he...
I am sorry you had a bad experience while you were with my firm for less than six months. We had asked you to forward the emails that you had sent to our office which you claimed were not responded to but you were unable to do so. Each time you called our office and spoke to a live person, you were asked to make an appointment to speak with me since I am often in court and at the workers compensation boards fighting my cases on behalf of all of my clients. No appointment was scheduled. I have not been paid a dime on your case which is what a contingency fee agreement means. I have spent hours filing your application and pages of paperwork with the Workers Compensation Board, dealing with the insurance company, arranging medical treatment, and reviewing copies of records regarding your case. We even filed an appeal for denial of your medical treatment by the insurance company. We have left numerous phone messages with the adjuster regarding your medical treatment denial. The California workers compensation system is a disaster with statutory delays, opportunity for denials, and low compensation while you are unable to work. Your frustration is with the slow process in the system and the delays by the insurance company. If my lien for the amount of time and work that my office and I have spent is what is preventing you from getting a new attorney (which is very curious to me), then I am happy to withdraw my lien. Please have your new attorney contact me so that the proper paperwork can be filed.
