My biggest regret was not hiring Mr. Geer sooner. I had 2 issues on my bar application and I was extremely nervous to set a bar hearing. The bar examiners told me that I had a hearing set and I requested all of the documentation, but somehow my packet was lost in the mail and I had to reschedule. My husband, who is a licensed attorney and I did our research and ultimately decided to call Mr.Geer because of his amazing reviews. He was upfront with his costs and very reasonable. Even before I retained him as counsel he put in a call to the board on my behalf to receive the packet from the bar examiners. I was overwhelmed with his amount of empathy for me during the hearing. He advocated for me as if it was his own license at stake. His closing argument actually made me cry. His wife Paula was an absolute joy to work with. I can’t stress enough that if you have a character and fitness issue, you should retain Mr.Geer. I can’t thank him and his wife for all of their help. In the end, the board found that there was nothing in my file that would keep me from practicing law and there were no repercussions. Thank you so much for all of your help. I look forward to being a fellow Florida bar member with you.

I hired Brett Geer after dealing with the Bar on my own for nearly a year. Everyone knows the saying "He who represents himself has a fool for a client." I had done some things right but also made some errors that could have proven very problematic. Brett helped me understand the nature of the process and the approach he believed would prove advantageous. Following his advice, we resolved the matter with the Bar amicably. My reputation and livelihood were protected because of Brett's knowledge, experience and insight. I have the deepest respect and admiration for Brett and recommend him without hesitation.

Mr. Geer is passionate advocate and keeps his client well informed throughout the process. I was at ease after hiring him to handle my legal matter. He is the best choice and will get the job done right.

I had a very difficult time dealing with the FL Board of Bar Examiners. I regret not hiring Mr. Geer PRIOR to submitting my Bar Application. Nevertheless, after running into trouble with the stress of non-stop requests for information and documentation, I almost gave up on my dream of becomming an attorney. Mr. Geer gave me hope and reassured me that he could help me. Hiring Mr. Brett Geer was one of the best INVESTMENTS I ever made into myself, my career, and my family. Mr. Geer is a remarkable attorney with the highest level of integrity, character, and is a very compassionate person that listens, understands, and sympathizes with the stresses of dealing with the Bar Examiners while also trying to study for the Bar exam.

Earlier this year, I hired Mr. Geer to represent me in an Investigative Hearing to determine my admission to the Florida Bar. Anyone who has received that letter understands the stress and fear that comes with it. Mr. Geer and his gracious wife were there every step of the way to ensure that I knew what was necessary in order to be successful in my quest for admission. Notably, we dealt with the hearing during the current pandemic and held our hearing via Zoom, which brings its own difficulties like taking away the human/emotional element during an argument. Even so, Mr. Geer developed a solid strategy that led to the Board recommending my admission a couple weeks later. If you are in need of someone that will hear you out, provide candid advice, and develop and implement a winning strategy, then I strongly recommend contacting Mr. Geer. This man helped me obtain one of my dreams, and he might be able to help you too.

I retained Brett's services and am so happy I did. He guided me through the process, calmed my fears and concerns, and was a true advocate throughout. With his impressive credentials and experience, I trusted him to obtain a positive and just outcome in my case. I was not disappointed. Paula was also so kind to me and such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend the Geer Law Firm should you ever need their services.

Brett guided me (a law student) through the very difficult and anxiety-inducing character and fitness process with ease. He made tasks required easier and kept me calm throughout the hearing. I received the results I hoped for. Thanks Brett!

I was notified of my FBBE Hearing and immediately hired Brett Geer. This was the best choice I could have made. Mr. Geer is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in these matters and will not sugar coat the process. Mr. Geer prepared me for the unknown and equipped me with the necessary tools to receive clearance. I strongly encourage anyone who runs a ground in the waters of the FBBE to give Brett Geer a call.

If you have any questions or difficulties regarding your Florida Bar application, or if you've already submitted the application and have received a request from the Board, and you are unsure of how to respond, then hire Mr. Geer, a former Bar prosecutor whom I cannot recommend highly enough. He walked me through every step of the application process and then led me through the ensuing maze of correspondence. I found his help invaluable throughout the entire process. Mr. Geer is aware of the psychological toll these investigations take on bar applicants, and his reassuring presence is greatly ameliorating. At the same time, he does not coddle; he will "give it to you straight" and will expect you to act like what you wish to become, an attorney. Instead of asking, "Do my issues rise to the level of needing a lawyer," ask yourself, "How important is it that I become a lawyer as soon as possible?" If the answer is, "Very important," then regardless of your issues, even if you have none, I would recommend hiring Mr. Geer, and the earlier in the process the better.

The Florida Bar sent me a letter in March 2017 about some irregularities with my bar exam. Originally they wanted a response within a week, but I asked for an extension while I consulted a lawyer. I asked around and compared prices before I contacted Mr. Geer in May. It's not a good idea to answer any inquiries from the bar on your own. That goes for lawyers and potential lawyers. I paid the retainer in June and he went to work to try and resolve my issue. The case was dismissed by the FBBE in September 2017. Price/Cost: Mr. Geer is reasonable and a value add compared to other lawyers who represent applicants/lawyers in front of the FBBE. Understand that you may have to hire an outside expert or request materials from the FBBE. The hiring of expert witnesses and any printing of material related to the FBBE is not part of the retainer and I had to cover the cost. I was aware of that before I hired him as counsel. You usually sign an agreement for legal representation beforehand going over the specifics on what the retainer covers and what it doesn't. I still came out ahead. Advocacy/Representation: This was Mr. Geer's strong point. Being that we were short on case law regarding my situation, he quickly shifted his correspondence with the bar from legal writing to persuasive writing aided by discovery material from an IT expert. Since the FBBE can get bogged down with review of new applicants and complaints about current lawyers, it's easy for your case to get pushed to the back burner. Brett was persistent though and repeatedly asked for a resolution on the matter. If not for his continued advocacy, I might still be dealing with the matter today.
