I met with several personal injury firms after my car accident in February, 2010. I immediately felt very comfortable with Matt Ice, an attorney at Cecil & Geiser. He paid close attention to the details of my situation and asked relevant questions. The fact that he had previously worked for an insurance company made me feel confident that he had a unique insight into the litigation process. During the time we worked together, I was impressed with the professionalism of Matt and his office. Medical records, prescription receipts, and correspondence were meticulously kept and filed. Matt always had the necessary information at his fingertips. I felt very secure having Matt in charge of my case. With Matt's help, I was able to access the medical portion of my own vehicle insurance to help me pay medical expenses not covered due to the deductable on my health insurance. Matt patiently and thoroughly prepared me for what to expect during the deposition. He was supportive throughout the process. Due to surgery and other issues, my case was not settled for over three years after the accident. Not once did Matt pressure me to finalize my lawsuit. He kept in touch throughout and helped in any way he could. When the time came for negotiations with the other insurance company, I was confident he had my best interest at heart. The negotiations concluded with what I considered was a fair settlement. Throughout the time we worked together, Matt was professional but also very personable. We became friends. I would recommend his services to anyone needing an attorney to represent them for a personal injury claim. Sincerely, Patty B. read more

In May of 2010 I was in an accident, while riding my bike a dog ran out into the road and caused me to have a serious fall. I have no memory of the accident. Luckily I was with friends that took care of me while I was unconscious and waiting for the ambulance. Subsequently, I made several unsuccessful attempts to communicate with the owner of the dog. I took my case to an attorney in an attempt to communicate once again with the owner of the dog but the attorney refused my case. I then talked to Mike Geiser, of Cecil & Geiser. Mike Geiser accepted my case. Shortly thereafter he did some investigating and was able to contact the appropriate party that insured the dog. It took several years for me to recover but through the entire process I felt I was working with the best possible attorney for my personal injury. He was very thorough; he understood all aspects of the law concerning my case, even when the opposing insurance representatives did not. He spent time with me explaining the pros and cons on my situation. His paralegal did an excellent job of organizing my medical files, which were quite extensive. She promptly responded to emails and stayed on top of my deadlines. Recently my case was successfully resolved. Until you work with someone you really do not know what kind of service you will receive and I can tell you that I received excellent legal service with Mike Geiser. read more

I retained Cecil & Geiser after a personal injury in 2009 (I was a pedestrian struck by an elderly driver). Sydney McLafferty worked with me on this case. Since I had moved out of state it was a difficult position for my attorney to have to handle a long-distance case, which Ms. McLafferty did an excellent job. As this was my first injury and lawsuit Sydney was very understanding, she explained the entire legal and court process and each step we had to go through. This was a great relief and eased my mind I had obtained a previous lawyer who dropped me (after 6 months wasting my time) stating that "I had no case". I was devastated as I had over a year of medical expenses, pain from lacerations, a torn rotator cuff, detached bicep muscle. I had two highly respected Orthopedic Surgeons attributing my injuries to my being struck by the defendant. The surgeons, both in written statements, reported that I would require physical therapy and restorative surgery. The case went into mediation and was settled before we had to go to court. The outcome was very satisfactory to me. Sydney represented me well and fought for my best interest. Her assistant, Angela, was amazing! She was constantly in contact with me about updates to the case. I can't say well enough about her. I would highly recommend the offices of Cecil and Geiser, especially Ms. Sydney McLafferty. read more

"I was in a car accident that caused injuries/medical bills totaling $25k. I also missed several weeks of work with only partial short term disability pay available. I was told my recovery would be months if not years. I hired Andy Cecil after weeks of being misdirected and put off by the at-fault parties' insurance company. I finally realized that I needed to contact a lawyer and at least see if I had a case and what was normal for this kind of situation. I had co-payments of $5k coming due and being a paycheck to paycheck single mom, missing work had put me in a very stressful financial situation. Andy assessed my case and told me what he felt was the right course of action, and what he anticipated would happen. The insurance company offered to settle shortly after they were informed I had hired Andy. I was amazed. Andy is incredibly knowledgeable and caring and I deeply appreciate all his help through one of the most stressful times of my life." read more

I have always heard bad things about lawyers but these 2 are the best. They make you feel like a friend, not just another name in a file. I would tell anyone to call these lawyers first. I feel like I made a true friend for life. Thanks again for all your help Bev. Rentz Ashville Ohio read more

Cecil and Geiser is an exceptional firm that worked extremely hard to navigate a difficult case. My mother was hit by a car, and these compasionate, caring folks patiently navigated a settlement with an insurance company who is famous for being difficult to work with. They also had to work with medicare sorting through what bills medicare was responsible for ,and what bills the insurance company was responsible for. (Mom had some regular healthcae bills that were unrelated to the accident.) Wow! Talk about red tape! And Mr Geiser and his paralegal, Deb Bohr, made it through! We received a settlement that we were satisfied with, under the circumstances, and we will seek out their assistance, without hesitation, anytime! We HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone, anytime! read more

I have had three legal cases with the Cecil & Geiser firm (formerly Plymale & Associates) throughout the past 20 years. It is unfortunate and stressful to seek out legal council to resolve life-issues, but assuring when matched with a family-oriented firm such as C&G. My most recent case was handled by Sidney Lafferty who was most gracious and kept me well informed throughout my case. Sidney is compassionate, diplomatic, thorough and highly professional. The entire C&G stafff is diversified and well qualified. Each staff person is an integral part of the firm and capable of putting a client completely at ease when entering the office. I would never hesitate to recommend the Cecil & Geiser law firm to my family and friends. Carolyn J. Wiley - Columbus, OH read more

I like to call Mike Geiser my guardian angel. I have been in two car accidents and he has represented me both times.I was in a serious car accident a couple years ago with my 5 month old baby. From day one mike came to my house to help. I had no idea what what my future would hold not being able to walk and having to take care of my new baby. Through the entire time mike was by my side. He never let me down. I knew he was always a phone call away and he would be there for me everytime. In the end all my medical bills were paid for and a settlement that changed my life. If I never met mike I'm not sure what would have happened. I would highly recommend Mike Geiser!!! Someone I call my guardian angel, a friend , and someone who changed my life.Thanks Mike!!! read more

The staff with Cecil and Geiser is very professional as well as courteous being a benefit to clients in distress and in need of clarity. Cecil and Geiser were empathetic to my overall situation from hardships due to an auto accident onto personal events encountered during the legal processes. I honestly can say that Cecil and Geiser was thorough and diligent in representing me; vouched for my creditability as a person because they took the time to get to know me; kept me abreast and part of the decision-making processes of my case; and ensured a warranted settlement was received. I most definitely recommend Cecil and Geiser to ensure rights are protected! read more

My name is Kaiser Jones and I experienced superior service from Cecil & Geiser. Michael Geiser exemplified professionalism along with passion for his profession.

I was also very impressed with Deb Bohr, Michael Gieser's assistant. She provided me with timely feedback, answering questions that I needed to prepare for the case. Their staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and made me feel very welcomed. Mr. Geiser and his staff can't be beat; they get you the results you need! read more

I had the opportunity to work with Mike Geiser and Brian Gibbs. I am incredibly happy with their professionalism and sincere concern for my well-being. All of my questions and concerns were addressed beyond satisfactorily and quite timely. My settlement came to a close within days of giving birth to my premature son and Brian offered to come to my house to handle the final paperwork. I was very impressed with his willingness to be inconvenienced for my sake. I was also pleased with my settlement-it was much more than I was anticipating. I highly recommend this firm and will certainly return if I require their services again read more

I was in an accident last year that totaled my car and broke my collarbone. I tried to deal with the insurance companies on my own at first. I quickly realized that I was in way over my head. I called Cecil & Geiser and within a few days, we settled on my car. A little while later, we finally received a settlement for my injuries. I am extremely happy with the service that I received. Heaven forbid this ever happens again, but if it does, Michael Geiser of Cecil & Geiser will be the first person that I call. read more

Thank you, Edith and Mario Guiltron read more

Feel like you could have done more and not let the ex employer call all the shots and say how things were going to be. But overall you got a fairly decent settlement for me and now I am able to finally pay to get treatment on my own without worrying about the ex employer denying everything and for that I say Thank You read more
