A few years ago, my husband and I desperately needed to update our wills and set up trusts for our…read more2 children. Our will had last been done when our 34 year old son was a newborn! Misha was patient and very informative and helped us hash through a several issues on how to structure our trust. It has been a few years since we set up all of this and have had some wonderful life changes. Both our kids are married and both have had babies, so we plan to set up a follow-up appointment with Misha to see what we need to change. I sent my closest friend to him and she had a great experience, too.

His expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the process. Michael (Misha) took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I understood the implications of each section in my trust.

That was the purpose of the trust. Now that the owner has died they (the trust written by the Collin's firm) are selling the house forcing the autistic son out. your response was that the Collin's firm does not manage the trust and my accusations are misplaced. A trust can only be managed as written. The Collin's firm wrote the trust. You are responsible For kicking an autistic child out of his home.

I was referred to attorney Ryan Brown for a consultation about an employment contract. Ryan, who is…read morelicensed to practice law in both Virginia and DC, had his colleague Kyle Epting sit in on the phone call. I appreciated that I got to speak with two attorneys, so that I could be helped in the best way possible. The consultation lasted about 20 minutes, which is not much time for them to read all of the documents that I had emailed to them, but Ryan and Kyle gave me accurate advice that helped me. I did not have to hire them, but if I did have to hire someone, I would have hired them. I am grateful for their assistance, and I would recommend their services to other people.

It's uncomfortable to think about awful possibilities, but the wonderful GLG team got us through it. We feel confident and secure, knowing we are thoroughly prepared for the unexpected.

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.

I was considering purchasing a newly renovated 2 BR condo in DC. The developer wanted to use a…read morenon-standard contract and I needed to have an attorney look it over on fairly short notice, as I had questions about some of the terms. Despite DC having more lawyers than anywhere else in the country, this was surprisingly difficult to find someone to do. Robert Kaufman agreed to do the review for me. He provided incredibly sage advice which allowed me to understand the transaction I was getting into, and he suggested some modifications that I might want to make to the contract. Mr. Kaufman was exceptionally knowledgable and the money I spent for this service was well worth it. I would not hesitate to engage Bayer & Kaufman again on real estate matters and would highly recommend them to others.
