This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Great Lawyer!

I have consulted with Peter Geisness on past cases. He is extremely good at spotting issues, knowing the law and he helped me in my case. Peter can handle any case. He has experience with the most complex and serious felonies to misdemeanors. He is thorough in his preparation and tenacious in negot...iations. He also has a wide range of experience in other areas such as personal injury and civil rights cases.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
