Richard Bryan Geissler

This lawyer was hired to represent me for post-secondary support. In spite of me being timely with my filing request, handing him all of the necessary documents, meeting with him and calling his office weekly to find out the status of my case, he was so incredibly tardy with the court filings that I ...got penalized by the justice system and didn't receive any post-secondary support. Bryan did NOT represent me. He was completely unprepared for court, would come running in at the last minute, and was not knowledgeable as to the specifics of my case. In spite of his lack of preparedness, he still received payments of nearly $10,000 in fees - while costing me $10,000 in lost support. I wish I would have fired him many months ago.

Upon the reccomdation of an associate, I hired Mr. Geissler to handle my divorce. His greatest concern was logging his work hours. In fact, during several of our meetings, where I am paying him $250/hr, I would discuss issues, while he would chart his hrs. I asked him how he could charge me, while... he logged his hours, he smiled and told me that he was listening. He would comment to me every time that we would go to court how attractive my ex wife was. My ex told me afterwards that he even asked her out. He advised me to spend money for all kinds of things to better my case and prepare for court, which I did. Some $40,000 later, and extremely prepared for court, he just sat there and didn't do anything during our final hearing. I lost custody of my son, have limited visitation, and have to pay more than I can afford to my ex. If it weren't for family support, I would be homeless. Mr Geissler's reply to all this was you win some and you lose some, and he would be happy to retry the case for me.
