Amy Geistweidt helped me in my divorce and child custody case. She proved to be a very powerful attorney. She is well knowledged, well versed, and gives you every ounce of fight she has. I have been thoroughly impressed by her ability and passion. Being a family woman herself, she understands just how important the fight is to you, and will do everything she can to get you where you want to be. I would reccoemnd her to anyone looking for a powerful and competent attorney.

I recently retained Amy Geistweidt on a Monday afternoon with a court date on a Wednesday of the same week. Amy was able to get prepared for my case at light speed. Her listening skills are impeccable and her attention to detail is exceeds the standard of our military. I know this because I am a veteran. Amy is an aggressive, assertive and relentless defender of your family's needs. As a father with the deck stacked against him, i recommend retaining Amy with the highest urgentcy! FYI, we won!

Divorce

Hired Attorney

Geistweidt failed me and disrespected me. I contacted Geistweidt at the recommendation of a relative and she agreed to represent me in a collaborative divorce. No mention was made of a 'conflict check'. 2 days later Amy contacts me by text message and states there is a conflict, her firm cannot represent me. She refused to specify the conflict; she refused to offer any explanation at all. This all by text, she didn't offer the respect of a voice call. She has rejected any further contact, ignoring my texts and calls. I discover later that the conflict was a previous consultation with my wife, only a few days before mine. Our name is uncommon, easy to remember, anyone with normal memory skill would have been aware of the conflict the moment I introduced myself. Geistweidt treated me disrespectfully, I strongly discommend her.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

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.
