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

Talks down to her clients

This lawyer has dragged out court cases that should have been settled months ago to pile on fees. She has talked down to and about fragile clients who have depended on her for guidance. She blame shifts and defends opposing council.

If I could give 0 star’s I would

Megan signed me on with my last $3000, three kids and temporary leave of absence from my job due to Covid. With nothing being accomplished and six months that she promised she would. Including Disregarding my request for mediation regarding my children, disregarding my request for attorney contributi...on, disregarding my request for subpoenas on my husband’s secret bank accounts. The most concerning legal document and her negligence through my case was the Interrogates. Sending her my answers to the questions and documents I believed needed for the case in October 2020, she did not question me on them until January 12, 2021 when a possible order of contempt from my husbands counsel was on the table. When I asked her why she had not turn them in she yelled at me through email and promptly stated she would withdraw from my counsel. Apparently asking questions as your client is highly frowned upon with her. I warn anyone and everyone to stay away from her she makes promises she will never keep.

The very best!!!

I am beyond pleased with the firm Ms Megan Geisler has done a phenomenal job for me in court she is such a great attorney very professional but also a great human being and was so ready for my case. I will definitely recommend Ms Gieseler her performance exceeded all my expectations. Olivia Saucedo h...er paralegal is amazing always there for any kinda question or concerns, welcoming and very helpful. This team is absolutely the best. I recommend them 100%.

Simply the BEST!

Working with Megan Gieseler was an absolute pleasure. My husband and I had spent many hours researching and interviewing different attorneys to help with our issues, only to never feel comfortable with their abilities and experience. But once meeting with Megan Gieseler We felt that you were the best... choice. My case was extremely difficult and a waiver was needed to get an approval. Megan handled my immigration case with great precision and commitment. She is a perfectionist! Always helpful and courteous. Her expertise and aggressiveness made the difference between what at first seemed an impossible task into a reality. Megan is a consummate professional and knew her way around the laws and procedures extremely well - way above our expectations. Every step of the process was meticulously detailed by her and everything we did scrutinized. Thank you so much for representing us. We will be forever thankful! You are one of kind, simply the Best! Jim & Jeanneth
