Updating my review as Yelp did not allow the edit and instead of saying I would give a 1-star…read morereview, I meant I would give 0 stars. In light of my experience at this firm, I am hoping my review will help others who need an attorney. When I first found this firm, I saw all the positive reviews and thought that the service would match but I was wrong. At first, Brandon comes across as very knowledgeable and seemingly prides himself on communication but this quickly changed. After I signed the docs to hire him, my case immediately was given to a case manager. There were issues with services promised that were never completed such as letters of protection, consistent administrative errors on settlement documentation, errors in requesting duplicate records of medical records costing me duplicative, and unnecessary fees to name a few. Even after multiple attempts to get Brandon to address it, the issues continued. The most recent example is on my settlement documentation them listing out medical bills to be paid to providers that had no medical liens, why are you requiring them to be paid out of my settlement if they have no lien on it? And why aren't you communicating with me to discuss this first? There were just constant issues with communication and the more you challenge Brandon, the nastier he got. In one particularly egregious example, they claimed they did not get any of my medical bills reduced. I found this odd and called the places myself and was told that no one from the law firm ever reached out to discuss any medical bill negotiations. One place sent me an email that they never heard from Brandon or anyone from his firm, which I forwarded to Brandon and he completely denied it and tried to make it seem like I made it up. Both he and his paralegal contradict each other in emails and Brandon just keeps saying what a great job they are doing. If you look at their google reviews and even other reviews here on Yelp, it's obvious that I am not the only one with these issues. The most recent act by Brandon was after multiple attempts to get him to address my concerns that went unanswered, I made him aware I would be reaching out to the Virginia Bar for help with mediation. Knowing that I was doing that and knowing that he never responded to any of my emails regarding my concerns, he filed a lawsuit against me. To make matters worse, once I responded to the lawsuit and said that he needed to ensure that the document was correct before I would sign. He wrote me a nasty email back stating how big of a headache I was to his firm (so wanting the bare minimum of customer service and addressing my concerns makes me a headache..got it), he would give me two options. He would remove the legal fees of the lawsuit he filed against me if I would remove what he claimed were false reviews about him and his firm. He also added that if I even so much as THOUGHT about posting another negative review that it would become actionable OR I could sign the document with the legal fees attached. I said I'd sign the document with the legal fees attached because I was not removing my review or my right to think about a review in the future. He responds that he will give me two options for a date for court and will be pursuing attorney fees. So he gave me two options and didn't like the option I chose and so he is continuing with his retaliatory behavior. I have copies of all the documentation from the start until the end to prove everything I am stating. All I can do is give the facts of my experience with firm and let others know how I felt in my dealings with them. To me, there is nothing special about winning a slam dunk case with low policy limits. Customer service matters, integrity matters. If your client is saying there are concerns and missteps, address them. There is zero accountability with Brandon and you are labeled a problem if you expect and demand more than the absolute bare minimum from him. There are so many better personal injury attorneys in Virginia in my opinion, I can recommend a few that I met in this journey that I wish I had hired over this firm. If you would like their names, feel free to reach out!

A difficult & abused feeling experience with this firm…read more I needed legal help to process the estate of my deceased mother. I ended up wasting six months and about $4K, paid in fees, with no outcome with Geller Law. I was first requested to have a mandatory paid initial consultation session to go over my legal help needed. I was introduced to Julie S. during this session. After describing my specific case & needs, she informed me that Geller Law can handle my case. What followed was months of emotional stress & redundant conversations with the staff of this firm that yielded no results. It became clear to me that they didn't know how to legally handle my case. Some staff members were argumentative & appeared trying to take advantage of this emotional situation for me. There were redundant conversations that I was later billed for. I concluded that this firm is not the choice that can handle my case professionally. I terminated my work with them. The new law firm I selected to handle my case turned out to be more knowledgeable for my case. And, more compassionate with me. The process was handled smoothly & professionally to completion.

His poor organizational timeline caused unnecessary delays and on multiple occasions he got details of my case wrong and documents had to be redrafted; at least twice confusing my wife's and my information. This was most notable when he thought (well into the case and with a signed property agreement in hand, mind you) that I was paying her in the settlement rather than the reality that I was receiving funds from her. In the end the case went as expected and other than a few weeks worth of unnecessary delays I was not harmed. When looking for a lawyer though, is this really the standard you want to use?

In the document review, Ms. Sizer indicated that I should file a specific document related to a trust. My brother would need to sign this document. Since he was coming into the area from out of town, I emailed Ms. Sizer to ask her to send me the document for his signature. I finally got a response from Ms. Sizer after three emails and three phone discussions with her staff over about two weeks. This was part of her response, "As a solo practitioner, I am not able to prepare and provide documents on demand. I give each matter the due diligence it requires and address matters in turn so that every client receives careful and timely attention. Because this approach does not always align with timelines a client may wish to set, I believe it is best to conclude my representation so that you may continue with other counsel who can meet your needs going forward." If Ms. Sizer had responded promptly, this could have been avoided. If she needed more time, she could have let me know. Instead, she chose to remain silent. I have been a practicing attorney for thirty-five years. I hope that she learns that client communication is important.

It has been a great pleasure working with Julie Zhang, Rachel Wei and the team…read more As the first-time family-based green card applicants, we were nervous about what to do, particularly with the immigration polices uncertainties during the period of government administration changes. The kindness, encouragement, patience, and professional support offered by this team over the entire process has been invaluable for us. It is the team's detail-oriented approach, flawless document preparation, and timely hands-on help that enabled us to receive EAD, AP, and Green card approvals as expected, and the entire process to complete with less than four months. Before deciding to work with the Oliver-Zhang Law, we had contacted a few law firms, but not until after we were impressed by Rachel in a consultation could we believe that we found a representation that we can rely on. During the hour-long session, Rachel showed her deep knowledge in immigration law, addressed our questions/concerns in a simple and easy-to-understand way; the path forward was highlighted clearly and convincing. Over the course of preparation, the communication channel has been clear, and the team has always been ready to provide timely guidance and support; when we were frustrated by the challenges and delays in preparation of the required supporting documents, Rachel and Annjelika have been always available with encouragement and support. On all the major activities along the case process, guidance on what to do has always been clear, and advice on DOs and DON'Ts has been always provided in detail and timely manner. When receiving the USCIS interview notice we were kind of stressed, but the stress was soon relieved after the mock interview session, which was so well prepared, thorough, and informative. Again, we were deeply impressed by the professionalism of the lawyers who attended the training session, who provided so many valuable advice, and invaluable encouragement. Julie's presence during the USCIS Interview offering her timely support was certainly another credit to the reliable services of the law firm. Once again, we appreciate Rachel and Julie's experience and knowledge in immigration laws, and Annjelika's continuous support and always keeping things on track. We strongly recommend the immigration law representation by the law firm of Oliver-Zhang Law.
