I would HIGHLY recommend Bill Geary and his staff!They were always on top of things, answering our questions(no matter how ridiculous),responding to our emails(some even during his vacation),and just keeping us up-to-date on what was going on.We now have custody of my step-son, and a house full of VERY excited & happy kids! If the outcome had been different, I would still have recommended him. Simply put, they're amazing people. Can't thank them enough.

Hired Attorney William L. Geary

Not only was Bill a very competent, and adept lawyer....he was also a very caring, and empathetic individual towards what was, one of the most difficult periods in my life. That special touch, that human quality, that ability to see things from the client's perspective, and on occasion offer a bit of lighthearted humor in the face of a dismal situation, GREATLY served Bill well!! Bill continually expressed to me that; "things will get better".....and they did! GREATLY!! I consider Bill a friend!

Mr. Geary is the best attorney anyone can dream of. He is professional, conscious of his client's financial situation, and sensitive to his client's needs. He is quick and knowledgeable. In my case, he understands the undertaking factors concerning medicaid and other issues. He has a wide network of other professionals in other areas, from financial professionals to even real estate. I hired another attorney before him so I have a clear picture of what he can and willing. The BEST!!!!

Even though I have not used every attorney in town, I can comfortably say this probably is the best divorce firm you will ever need. Everyone in the office is professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and personable. They will go out of their way to help whenever they are capable. I highly recommend this firm to anyone who has the need for an attorney.

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.
