Hired Attorney William L. Geary

Mr. Geary proved to be extremely dedicated to my case and gave it the time and attention that it deserved. I felt as though he cared for both my child and I as friends as opposed to just clients. I would recommend Bill to anyone searching for a highly conscientious and proficient family law attorney.

Bill & his staff are honest, helpful and capable. They move fast, expect you to keep up, and let you do as much of the work as you’re willing/able, to save you money. Their billing is fair and worth every penny. Bill was aggressive when he had to be, yet strategic in ways the other lawyer could only hope to ever come close to being. He was great during negotiations and breathtaking in court. My ex settled rather than face Bill’s questions on the stand. Bill did a great job for me from day one.

To Whom it May Concern, I have been represented by Mr. Geary on one occasion and one of his associates on another. The entire staff is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They were great to work with. I have referred at least two other clients to the firm. All of the clients that I have referred have indicated to me that they would also refer other people. Thank You

Hired Attorney William L. Geary

Mr. Geary has worked with me for 8 years to establish custody, divorce, and numerous related settlements, as my ex-husband has repeatedly filed motions with the court. Mr. Geary has looked for creative ways to save me money by delegating work to his office staff and interns, directing me to do what I can, etc., but has never allowed the quality of the process to be impaired. He is forthright, high in integrity, and morally upright, supportive of me (his client) but not vindictive. Outstanding!

Hired Attorney William L. Geary

Mr. Geary is a wonderful attorney who cares about his clients and doesn't make them feel like they are just another number. Whenever I had concerns or questions, Mr. Geary would take the time to talk to me and help me understand or feel better about what was going on. Mr. Geary always makes sure he and his clients are well prepared for their cases, which definitely helped me feel more at ease in a very stressful time. I am truly grateful to Mr. Geary for the wonderful job he did on my case.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
