Mark Geiger did an excellent job representing me. The DA gave me a decent offer. Mark said he would try to get a better offer. He went the extra mile for me and got me a better offer. He is very competent in the complicated legal system. He was very understanding of my situation and my family and I a...re grateful for his services. His assistant Laura did a great job for me as well. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a good attorney. Thanks Mark and Laura!

Great Attorney!

First time needing a lawyer not to mention it was relating to very significant criminal charges. He was very helpful and empathetic. He helped our family understand the law, legal standards and what to expect. I would hire him again in a heartbeat! He is smart and knows what he is doing. He was the r...ight choice!

Trouble Resolved.

I was on a road trip last year from Los Angeles. Got myself in trouble with littering. Was told by the police that I have to appear in court. Explained to him that Im from Los Angeles and it would be kind of inpossible to appear to which he replied that I can do an online affidavit. I trusted the cop... and months later I called to check out that there is no such online affifavit that i can do. Got Cop conned. Anyway, I had a lot of trouble with irresponsible and unresponsive lawyers until i found Mark. He treated my case as if it was his own case. Was responsive to my calls and was very patient with me. We need more lawyers like you in LA!

Mark Geiger is an affordable and ethical attorney who tries his best!

After consulting several attorneys, I chose Mark Geiger to be the attorney to represent me. He is a person who is not afraid to work for his client. Mark answered my phone calls as early as 7 A.M. and returned some of my evening emails, the same night. However, deciding whether an attorney is good or... not, is not all just about returning phone calls or emails. Mark is an ethical attorney that has a conscious. Being in a profession, that involves dealing with people accused of a crimes, I think it would be difficult to not pre-judge a someone accused of a crime. Mark actually spent the time to listen to my case, without judging me. Being a criminal lawyer with 27 years experience, his knowledge of the law is extensive. This gives a defendant a much better chance of success in court. I know...because after going to court, his knowledge of the law helped me have a chance in life, again. Not only did he help me, but he did it at a lower rate than the other attorneys that I spoke with quoted. I hope that none of you ever get in trouble with the law. However, If you do have legal issues, I strongly recommend using Mark Geiger's services. He is an attorney that I believe will do the best job, humanly possible, representing you. Thank you, Mark!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2002.

Reprimand issued in OR, 2002

updated on 12/05/2009

This means the lawyer did something wrong but the bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
