Domestic Violence Restraining Order.

I felt really safe with The Geller Firm. They got my restraining order dismissed, and now I can finally breathe again. They really care about helping people. Thank you!!

Michael is the best

Michael Geller is a true professional in every sense of the word. His attention to detail, thorough understanding of family law, and unwavering commitment to fairness made our mediation process incredibly efficient and effective. Michael's ability to remain impartial while still empathizing with our ...individual needs was truly remarkable. He facilitated productive discussions and helped us find common ground even on the most contentious issues. Working with Michael was a breath of fresh air during a challenging time, and I wholeheartedly endorse him as a divorce mediator.

Knowledgeable Advocate

Michael Geller exceeded my expectations as a divorce attorney. His exceptional communication skills and attention to detail made the entire process less daunting. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and priorities, and then developed a solid strategy to achieve my goals. Geller was... always responsive and approachable, promptly addressing any concerns or inquiries I had. His expertise in divorce law was evident in every interaction. With his guidance, I was able to secure a favorable outcome that protected my interests. I highly recommend Michael Geller for anyone seeking a competent and compassionate divorce attorney.

10 Stars

Michael Geller is by far better than all the 5 star rated lawyers out there. Prior to finding Michael, I’ve consulted with many of those highly rated attorneys only to leave the calls completely unimpressed with how they would represent my case and discouraged. Until I spoke with Michael, I knew ri...ght away that he was the one! From start to finish, Michael was very knowledgeable, explained every step of the process to me, took the time to understand my case and was able to deliver what I proposed. Michael’s professionalism, communication skills, patience, true comprehension of your case, along with his expertise in family law is incomparable to any family lawyer out there. Highly recommended. I hope I will not need to ever go back to court but if I ever do, I would choose Michael every time.

Compassionate and friendly!

My good neighbor recommended me to Michael and I'm glad I went with him. He is a very good person, understanding and gives you every detail of what's going on. He helped me out a lot with my case and I couldn't be happier. He is outstanding at what he does and I appreciated everything he has done for... me and my family. I now count Michael as family friend and as an attorney, I can recommend to others.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
