Geraldine Johnson-Coy

I decided to work with Geraldine as my divorce attorney based on excellent reviews. I am so very glad that I chose her as my attorney. First, she is a most accommodating professional. She drove close to an hour one way to meet with me on two occasions, at the beginning and the end of my divorce proce...edings. Next, she is very prompt and punctual. She does exactly what she says she will and within the timeframe that she promises. Also, communication and follow up from her was top notch. Geraldine would always respond to my communications in a very timely manner, often within the very same day; and certainly by the next day. Not only that, but she is a tremendously positive person. She did a great job making me feel at ease and confident through the whole divorce process. Her representation of me was incredible. She advocated for me and worked very hard to ensure I would be treated fairly in my case. Payment was also done with great peace of mind. Her rate was very reasonable and she worked with me on the payment. In conclusion, Geraldine was an amazing attorney who handled my divorce case with incredible professionalism. Thank you so much Geraldine!

I hired Geraldine Johnson in a really brutal divorce. My first impression was that she was that she was the answer to my prayers. I hired her on very short notice but she assured me said she could handle the complexity of my case. I knew something was not right with her because she was not doing anyt...hing in order to prepare and then just days before my trial she said she “couldn’t do it.” She went on the stand and actually lied to the judge in order to be removed from case. I was left with no attorney on the day of my trial. I lost absolutely everything; including my children to an abusive, unhealthy, alcoholic man . No one believed me. My children have been mentally, physically and emotionally abused because I put my trust into Geri Johnson. Young children are not often “believable” so after a year of abuse, trauma, PTSD, etc., my children’s therapists think there is now enough evidence and history and my ex is being investigated by Child Protective Services. Hopefully this will finally bring some justice for my children. Geri may be fine for simple cases but please know she is not reliable and not able to handle more complex cases. Just beware. No one should have to go through what my children and I have been through.

I hired Geri as my divorce lawyer and she was amazing! She has so much experience and that really helped because I had many a lot of questions during the divorce proceedings. Also she knew how to deal with my ex’s lawyer who didn’t want to compromise on anything. She was always professional, compassi...onate and understanding. I highly recommend her.

From the very beginning, Geri was upfront, friendly and very empathetic on my situation - my ex husband and I had split three years prior, but never went through the actual divorce process. There was an incident that had happened to kind of kick start everything into motion, and I was in dire need to... find someone who would represent myself and my son's best interests, and hopefully help me get me the majority of what I was looking for. That is exactly what I got with Geri - other lawyers I spoke to wanted $2300 upfront for the retainer fee, which being a single mom isn't really possible - Geri had a very reasonable and affordable retainer fee - others straight up told me because my ex was in the military, he would get full custody of my son and that I was "screwed" - Geri said that was BS and the courts have to fairly look at both sides - and other lawyers didn't even show up for the appointment I hade for the initial consult - Geri had picked the place for the consult by my house and sat with me for as long as I needed, explaining everything in depth (she was kind enough to have an initial phone consult, after returning my call that same day, and was on the phone with me for over an hour while I explained everything!) The process itself went pretty smoothly - before I had met with Geri, I tried to get everything into place that was needed, and got all the documentation for her so she didn't have to do much initially except make a few phone calls and send some things out. Once the first court date was down, she explained there might have to be a fourth one down the line and explained everything that would probably happen in the next few months - she commended me for being a great parent, being compliant the courts during the entire thing, and showing that my son's best interest was in mind (versus his father's, but that is another story for another time). I was even able to email and text her throughout the months with questions and concerns, and she welcomed it - there was NO extra charge, which was amazing as some lawyers charge by the hour. Geri was so extremely helpful, insightful, ethical, fast thinking and well organized! I am SO glad she was able to take me on a client - I got to keep sole custody of my son, along with a few other things to my family's benefit. I really enjoyed working along side her to finally get my divorce taken care of once and for all - she made the entire thing very, very smooth. Despite that fact that I was scared of my ex, Geri held her ground and (politely) called him on his BS every single time which was SO comforting to know she was in my corner 110%. If I were to ever get married and have to get another divorce (lets hope not haha), I would definitely have Geri represent me again! She is a wonderful person, and an exceptional lawyer! She made sure everything was done in a very professional and timely manner (it only took 6 months from start to finish with everything!). If you are looking for a lawyer who has YOUR best interests at heart with a high willingness to work / get results, and NOT just after your money then PLEASE consider asking Geri to represent you! I can't say enough good things about her and her work. It was time and money well spent in my opinion to keep my family together. :) :) :)

Geraldine was extremely helpful during my post divorce issues. She was always available and never made me feel like she was counting the minutes or in a rush. She explained things to me in a blunt manner that allowed me to fully understand what I should expect. Although the outcome was not what I wan...ted or expected to happen, I am still very happy with her help. She has also been very helpful since then.
