Divorce

I felt lucky to have found Geraldine, she handled my divorce with excellent service, promptly returning calls, texts, and emails. She kept me focused on what I needed to do, constantly kept me aware of what was going on, and advised me of potential future "surprises" that can happen in court on the ...day of divorce. In court, she was a gem, I was frazzled by what was going on around me, and she kept me in focus by indicating what was fair or not. Her rate was more that fair, based upon consultation with friends going through what I did. Lastly, while her knowledge and skills were key to my divorce, she is also a great listener, I have the notion that she loves her occupation, helping people.

Best Lawyer I ever had and I've had 4 other lawyers

Attorney Johnson helped me with a case of discrimination against me at my work. She was fast, efficient and even came to me when I couldn't leave my home. She was honest, up front with me and kept me in the loop on all the details. She picked up where other attorneys left off and gathered everything ...needed to help me with my case. I was very pleased and impressed with her professionalism.

My Will and Power of Attorney

I needed a Will and Power of Attorney for medical and financial affairs. Geraldine helped me get my affairs in order. So now I have peace of mind that I have a Will and that my financial affairs and my medical treatment will be handled according to my wishes. She was very pleasant, easy to work with ...and helped me get everything down. She even helped me with things I had not even thought of . I would definitely refer friends to her for their legal needs.

Geraldine is a great lawyer who went out of her way to help me with my child support court case. I would highly recommend her!

Geraldine helped me obtain a reasonable child support amount by working with the court, my ex, and myself. Geraldine was willing to meet me anywhere to discuss my case and was available by phone, email or text. Thank you Geraldine for all you did to help me, You are an outstanding lawyer!
