Laurie Neff was a wonderful lawyer, helping me get through a difficult time period in the best way possible, both with legal matters and as a great advisor!

I was referred to the Geller Law Group and after the initial consultation with Laurie Forbes Neff, I was confident that she would represent me well through my legal journey. Laurie is a professional who walked me through the process, consulted on the various paths forward and ultimately resolved my case with outcomes that were truly acceptable to me. I highly recommend Laurie and the Geller Law Group if you are looking for a legal team that cares about you!

I highly recommend this firm. The attorneys I worked with were attentive and timely in their communication with me. They worked hard to represent my interests on a couple of delicate matters. I plan to use them again when needed.

While I was embroiled in a fairly nasty custody battle, Carrie Patterson (my lawyer) and ShounBach brought strategy and judiciousness to a tense situation. I was impressed with every aspect the firm's management of my custody case through the entire process. They kept me calm and collected in a time period I would have been anything but. I am grateful every day for their team winning my case and keeping me and my daughter together.

Creating a will and trust became a priority for us after the birth of our two children. On the recommendation of others, and after having a positive experience with Geller Law Group regarding another matter, we reached out for their help in drafting these documents for us. Elizabeth and Chantelle made the process so easy from start to finish, clearly explaining our options and walking us through the decisions we needed to make. We would absolutely recommend Geller Law Group for this service, and will go to them first should we have other legal needs in the future. Additionally, we are always happy to support a woman owned business, and appreciate Rebecca Geller's priority in hiring working moms. We were excited to read her recent September 2018 profile in Washington Business Journal, and it's one of the reasons we hired her firm!

Carrie Patterson is extremely professional and very determined and successful in representing my legal cases for 12 years. Her success flows like a river before her in the court room. My years of experience with her representing me through thick and thin has made me eternally grateful to have her represent me in my cases through the years. She has helped me and my family out during the most traumatic experiences of our lives due to uncontrollable events. Her leadership in the court room is astounding. She lovingly has used the legal system to help shield my children from legal matters they should not be exposed to. She has stood up and fought my legal battles tooth and nail when my adversaries maliciously attacked without hesitation. She shielded me and my kids from infringements upon our civil liberties. She is empowered as she channels her respect and love for humanity dignity into her legal representation with grace and style. Carries enthusiasm for Justice to prevail in the court of law has touched my life literally physically, spiritually, emotionally and religiously. Through Divorce, Motions, Child Support, Custody and Visitation from my experience with her she has business acumen and legal wisdom beyond her years. Through literal trials and my personal tribulations, she has been a pillar of strength for me and my family in court on out of court. Even the person she defended me has thanked her at our last case appearance because even though they lost the legal battle against her they had to respect her. With her dynamic abilities she is able to maintain human dignity and leave you with a feeling of awe when you leave the court room. And if your against her you wish she was on your side fighting for you instead. She uses her legal power and experience to accomplish the tasks that she sets out to fulfill and follows through. I am proud to have Carrie represent me and my family. My life would not be the same by any stretch of the imagination without her. She has legally protected my family freedoms & rights and has been my advocate against incredible odds and has won for me and her and her legal firms. I would highly recommend her and the legal firm for which she stands. She has made her legal mark in an incredibly positive way in our society and in my family’s life. We are eternally grateful for her representation.

A pleasure working with Chantelle and Elizabeth. Highly recommended

They were very kind and patient with us and explained everything so we could finish our trust. They were also very thorough and professional

It has been a true pleasure working with this team of high- caliber women. Without exception, all of the team members who provided counsel not only have tremendous subject matter expertise but also know how to explain the most complex legal content in ways that are easy to comprehend - which was done in context of my individual circumstances.

Stephanie Sauer has been representing me on a custody/divorce case prior to moving over to the Geller Law Group, and must say, she has been wonderful! I did my research and had talk to several other attorneys before hiring her to work on my case. It started off as a “simple” case because I didn’t seek out anything in the divorce. However, it became more complicated over time - I dropped off a 3in binder of information at one point (haha) - and Stephanie and her team have been both professional and patient throughout the whole process. I never had doubts that she wouldn’t be able to pull through. She and her team took her time with me and my case, working deligently to ensure we approach everything appropriately. They were prompt with communication - even in my most stressful times - and never once made me feel uncomfortable. Even with her transition over to this firm, she and the Geller Law Group made sure that the process was smooth. Should I ever come across any future family law concerns (let’s hope not), I would absolutely hire her again. Thank you again, Stephanie Sauer!!!

The Law Firm of ShounBach is absolutely outstanding! Very professional, ethical, and trustworthy. From the first time I met my lawyer, Tom Velarde, and his Legal Assistant, Mrs. Angie Hairfield, I knew they were the people for the job. Mr. Velarde, is intelligent, determined, caring, compassionate, and will fight for your best interest. He or Mrs. Hairfield communicated with me on a daily basis throughout my entire ordeal to keep me updated on the situation. Mr. Velarde, even contacted me on his family vacation to share news with me. His concern for my well being and best possible outcome was first and foremost in his mind. If needed, I would not hesitate to retain the services of Mr. Velarde and Mrs. Hairfield again. I have and will continue to recommend friends and acquaintances to ShounBach, and tell them to specifically ask for Mr. Tom Velarde and Mrs. Angie Hairfield. They were "stars" during a dark period.
