He'll give you a fee and all the courtroom appearances, phone calls, letters written, photo copies, etc. are under that umbrella. If you have a moment of pause on the legal fees, look at this way -what would be cost of judgements that don't go your way. Donald successfully thwarted opposing lawyer attempts for me to pay their client's legal fees. That alone save me tens of thousands of dollars. He won monetary judgements for me that I had not asked.

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.

Carolyn is a wonderful attorney and a supportive, understanding human being. I am truly grateful…read morethat I had the opportunity to work with her. I spoke with several attorneys before making my decision, and from our very first phone call I could tell she was different. She did not rush the conversation or treat it like just another case, she listened carefully, understood the details of my situation, and provided thoughtful, practical advice right away. That first call lasted more than half an hour, and after it, I knew I wanted her to represent me. My divorce case was long and challenging, and Carolyn was exceptional throughout the entire process. She handled many responsibilities beyond what was expected and always remained solution-focused. At times, the mediator and the opposing attorney were difficult to work with, and there were even moments when it felt like she was doing more than her share just to keep the process moving forward. She was always accessible, I could reach her quickly whenever needed, we spent hours discussing important details, and she consistently responded to my emails in minutes. I was going through an extremely difficult time financially and emotionally, and Carolyn was incredibly supportive. Even during periods when I struggled to make payments, she continued to work hard and never pressured me. In fact, there were times when she first asked whether I was financially okay before even mentioning her fees. That says a lot about her character, she is not money-centered; she genuinely cares about her clients as people. There were moments when I shared my sadness and emotional struggles, and she was supportive like a friend and, at times, almost like a therapist. She guided me with honesty and professionalism, sometimes telling me things that were difficult to hear, but that honesty is exactly what makes her such an exceptional attorney. She does not sugarcoat reality; she is direct, logical, and always focused on achieving the best possible outcome. In the end, we were able to reach an agreement, and my divorce is now finalized. I truly owe this result in large part to Carolyn's dedication, intelligence, and steady guidance. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs not only a highly skilled and successful attorney, but also a genuinely kind and compassionate human being.

If used appropriately, it's good for the business too because sometimes it's the only way to let them know when they aren't doing ok. I wrote a review about 10 days ago about this business, and I put a lot of thought into it, and I told the truth. I left a 1 star originally. Since that review, the business contacted me and apologized. Honestly, they didn't like my review. They said they would address customer service. I won't agree to not review the business, as our experience was not the best, but after the apology, and that I was told it was harmful to the lawyer's business and his family, I thought I could temper it a little; however, I was honest in everything I said, then and now. The Paralegal that we had to contact to reach our lawyer was not nice to us, not once. She snapped at us every time we spoke to her, and I was intimidated. I don't want to call there, or go in there again. Our lawyer was nice enough, but I do feel he dropped the ball. My son is owed a substantial amount of money by an individual who does not want to pay it, despite that there is a court judgment. It's an amount of money that makes us lose sleep at night. I underestimated his resolve not to pay, and I thought a letter from a lawyer's office would be enough that he would pay the debt. I was wrong about that. This law firm felt we needed to get him to court to answer questions about his income and property. They said me paying for a process server would ensure the party had to show up, and bring documents. Despite that I asked the Paralegal if this person was served, because I thought he would call the lawyer and he did not, he was not served. No one at the law firm knew the party was not served, until three days before the day for the Interrogatories. The party had no obligation to show up, or bring everything listed on the subpoena. We didn't know if he would show or not. He did show, but he didn't bring everything. That is the fault of the law firm. I can't sugar coat that. The lawyer did write a letter to the person, but the subpoena was not served. Our lawyer thinks I expected too much. He collected $20 of the more than $30,000 owed to my son, which is not much, but something I guess. I don't think expecting to be treated politely, or to expect a subpoena to be delivered, or for them to know it wasn't, was expecting too much. I do think this law firm could have done a better job for us as well.
