Michael turned out to be your typical money interested lawyer. Not only did he know my situation was very personal and urgent but he dragged me around with no results and once I paid him the first 9K retainer then 5 k, he then asked for another 5k and gave me a notice of a few days if not he would drop me, well he did He probably went to court twice and then nothing. He was also annoyed that I would call him at times What an actor he is. . Update: Michael decided to call me at 9:46 am today and told me I lost my son because I am an alcoholic and a horrible father. If this is what you want as a lawyer go ahead and give him a call. My recommendation is strong. Thank you Michael for the call. Oh and he also said “ you’re starting a fight with the wrong person” Being a lawyer doesn’t make you someone you can call and threat people Michael, there is laws in the United States of America. I would think you would know.

I had a great experience working with Michael. He is highly knowledgeable and provided excellent guidance throughout the entire process.

I truly appreciated his guidance and support. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and effective attorney.

I had a consultation with Michael and found him to be highly efficient and professional. He quickly understood my situation, provided clear guidance, and used our time very effectively. I would confidently recommend his services. Thank you so much !

I was searching for assistance in a divorce that had dragged out for years because we were unable to find the right attorney. We wanted a lawyer we could meet with in person in an office not a telephone interview or zoom call. After searching, we found Michael Geller film on the web and gave him a call. We had the option for a zoom meeting, but he was also open for a one on one face-to-face meeting in his office. I set up a consultation and found Micheal to be straightforward, fair, intelligent, and emphasized following the law by explaining it all to me. He was understandable. After the original consultation, we decided on having mediation at his office in Walnut Creek. The process, though difficult for those getting divorced, it was made simpler by Michael guiding us. His paralegal was also excellent, helping us gather all documents for disclosures. She saved us much time and many headaches. We were also offered an option to hire a private judge to speed up the process. This was an excellent idea. All in all, I am very satisfied with Michael Geller, and his firm. They made a difficult situation achieve a successful settlement, pleasing both parties. Our divorce was finished fast and professionally. Thank you, Michael for the freedom to write this.

Michael was outstanding to work with. He’s knowledgeable, responsive, and exceptionally thorough. He explained everything clearly, made sure I understood my options, and guided me through all important decisions. The process felt organized and efficient, and I had real confidence that the details were handled correctly. If you’re looking for an attorney who is professional, patient, and genuinely on top of things, I highly recommend Michael Geller.

Mr. Geller is an exceptionally skilled family law attorney who represented me in my divorce. He is meticulous, precise, and detail-oriented, while also demonstrating genuine compassion and empathy. I found him appropriately fierce when the situation required it, yet consistently poised and highly effective in negotiation. He has a clear command of his expertise and, notably—something I have found uncommon among attorneys—he recognizes the limits of his knowledge. When necessary, he brought in trusted specialists to ensure every aspect of the case was thoroughly addressed. He successfully guided a highly charged and contentious situation to a constructive and positive resolution. I recommend him without reservation.
