Hired Attorney William L. Geary

Mr.Geary was very professional and had a good understanding of my case and was very willing to explain how I could save money by doing some of my own research. He also did a very good job negotiating a settlement that was fair for both sides without lengthy expensive litigation.

Mr. Geary and his staff are very inquisitive, responsive and responsible law practitioners. Being an alien, I was made very comfortable with the law of the land here in the US. Mr. Geary makes extra effort to address all the apparent concerns and more importantly the concerns that client would be hesitant in talking about, directly.

Hired Attorney William L. Geary

Mr. Geary has a very good understanding that child custody issues are emotionally- charged situations. He and/or his staff were great in keeping us informed about what was going on with our case as well as very patient with our emotions. We were extremely satisfied with the end result. Although I hope the need never arises, I would definitely hire him again for any family issue.

Divorce

Hired Attorney William L. Geary

I selected Bill after consulting with three attorneys before offering a retainer. I never regretted that decision. Bill was patient and successfully managed the case. My spouse filed false charges and although these lies never received the justice I felt due, the false charges never gained traction and did not deviate the baseline 50/50 time for kids. Bill targeted only things that mattered to me and were justifiable in the court of law and assisted me in evaluating those things that may not be important and ultimately more legal expense than value gained. While I believe Bill has the capability of being ruthless if warranted, this was not my intent nor his. As a result, we had a professional relationship focused on the best interests of the child.

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.
