I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie Sauer Goodwin with the adoption of my daughter. I would not have survived the long confusing process without her. She held my hand through and kept me confident. She wasn’t just a lawyer, she became a friend. She makes you feel like a priority anytime you need her. I highly recommend her! Thanks!

We worked with Stephanie M. Sauer, on our adoption of three sisters whom we had guardianship of. At the time we received guardianship the girls were ages 3 months, 5 years and 8 years. When the girls were 2, 7 and 10 years we decided we needed to move from guardianship to adoption. We were told by other lawyers that our case was would be very hard because we were not related to these girls and also because of our age. The girls had lead a very hard life and their natural parents had many problems that they were unable to overcome, but still the natural parents did not want to give up their rights.
When we talked to Ms Sauer and explained the the details of how the children had came to be in our custody she took our case. Ms. Sauer was outstanding, and made us feel confident in court. She was very professional. In the end Ms. Sauer won our case when other lawyers had said it would be nearly impossible. Ms. Sauer was outstanding and I would highly recommend her. We now have the wonderful addition to our family of 3 wonderful daughters who are doing fantastic and are now ages 6, 11 and 14 years.

Top-notch legal assistance and excellent customer service! I really appreciate that they don't nickle-and-dime me for every email and phone call we exchange. They take the stress out of dealing with stressful legal matters.
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!!!

You'll be the first firm that comes to mind when friends and family ask for recommendations! I liked that we were able to accomplish what I needed virtually as it would be a trek to make it to your office. I have a friend who is thinking of getting an estate plan in place also and she's relieved to hear from me that it can be accomplished virtually.

I met 4 different attorneys (at $150-$350 /consult) before I met Laurie. She was direct, honest, no BS, and able to read between the lines. In that initial consult I saw how rapidly she processed information, including elements of my situation that I didn't have the language to articulate. If I'd chosen someone with a lower hourly rate I would have missed her skill and perception. Making myself understood would ultimately have cost far more and would have made an already painful process even harder.

I highly recommend the Geller Law Firm for family law needs! I initially began with this firm with Estate planning after buying a house, then transitioned into creating a prenup after the decision to get married. The prenup took a while because it was very tailored for our needs (and needed to spread the payments out), but the lawyers at this firm were very patient, accommodating, highly knowledgeable, and professional in their manner and document accuracy. After completing the prenup, I finished my Estate plan soon after. For both sets of documents, the lawyer team was patient and knowledgeable with all of my questions, and I'm very happy with the resulting documents. They did an amazing job with both sets of documents, and I'm grateful this team completed them. I definitely recommend others looking for similar legal documents! =)

I wish this review was different. Until the end of May, this review was a raving 5 star review. The process to complete our estate paperwork was well done and all went smoothly. Chantelle DiLorenzo should be specifically mentioned for her great work as the partner working with us.
In March 2019, we received an email indicating final charges would be coming for the completion of our documents followed a few days later with a $1600 "final invoice" with no breakdown. I've never not paid quickly, because I used to do legal billing and understand prompt payment is appreciated. Our document signing was in early April, and I mentioned paying everything up before arriving when asked asked to confirm our wish for the documents to be filed on our behalf. No further mention of later charges.
Fast forward to May 23rd (1.5 months+ after our last interaction with GLG), and I discover $800 has been taken from our bank. No invoice had been received (according to GLG they sent one- I had rec'd all others no problem, but nothing for this), no "overdue" notice for any charges, no receipt for this payment as all others had, no phone call "did you get this invoice?" before taking the funds - nothing. Just funds taken with no notice. I call GLG and get a call back from Betsy in accounting and her only explanation to taking funds with no notice was "there was an invoice and we had an ACH form." The problem is that no invoice has still ever been seen to date and my ACH form never had bank account info on it. Bottom line- they kept my banking information provided over the phone in 2018, despite instructions to call to obtain permission before any transactions, or obtained it from what was supposed to be a secure Quickbooks payment. As I've tried to explain, that if I had ever seen an invoice, OR there had ever been any apology for NO collections processes followed, I probably would have been agreeable to a compromise to resolve whatever balance they suddenly claimed existed. Instead, I've simply gotten emails with attitude from Rebecca Geller herself, trying to overlook the issue that our bank account was unethically used as an open access point vs. following any fiduciary responsibilities of proper legal billing and collections. It apparent this very serious matter has not been understood.
So, after making it very clear I wouldn't accept anything less than full return of those funds, a check was supposedly sent on June 6th (I was not told about it though), so on June 20th when I had to followup yet again where my money was, their excuse for the refund not arriving was that the envelope was being returned. Again, I asked for evidence out of curiousity since I've never had a package returned from my very well established address in 8 years of living here. I never got said evidence so when I accused them of this being a stall tactic (because they also could have just called me to pick it up since they know I live 7 min from their office) and insisting on picking up my check on Monday July 1 (yes over 1 month after stealing from me), they simply agreed.
So in summary, an invoice or validation of funds they claim I still owed AFTER a FINAL invoice have never yet been shown to me, funds were stolen via a misused ACH or secure online billing, and they stalled and lied to me to delay it being returned. For those who have no prior legal billing experience as I do, those are major legal ethical issues regarding billing, banking info security, and improper collections. I would hope if you choose to do business with GLG that you a) ask for Chantelle, b) watch your bank account, and c) insist on more detailed billing to verify what you are paying for. This experience has left a totally sour taste in my mouth and unfortunately this is what I'm left to share with people instead.

We had a great pre-interview with Rebecca Geller who ensured all of our needs were addressed, and how she and her team can best develop our planned estate documentation; all the time making us very comfortable and providing suggestions we otherwise would not have known or considered.

They really understood the challenges of being outgunned financially by an abusive spouse and the nuances of wanting to support a future relationship between our kids and their dad while keeping the kids as safe as possible. They balanced professionalism and kindness with frank, objective legal advice. Their team approached was cost-effective. I am so grateful for all the work the Gellar Law Group did for my family... Lynn, Maria and Laurie were truly wonderful!

Fantastic, first-rate firm. Women owned and operated, tremendous work-life balance but absolute and intense dedication to their clients. They're doing both pre-nup and wills and trusts for us and they're making a hugely complex (well, to me anyway) endeavor easy to understand and actually enjoyable.

I greatly appreciated the time Rebecca (and her associates) took to explain my options and advise me on setting up my estate documents. It is comforting to know my son will be taken care of should anything happen to me and The Geller Law Group made the entire process less overwhelming.

The Gellar Law Group did a wonderful job explaining the will and trust process as well as its benefits and challenges, which made my husband and I feel comfortable with our decision to move forward with the documentation. We are very satisfied with the timeliness, professionalism, and attention to detail from the team and would highly recommend them to friends and family.

The two attorneys I worked with, Rebecca and Maria, were empathetic, thoughtful, kind and thorough during a difficult period in my life. I felt confident in and comfortable working with these two women, and I was able to trust their experience and expertise. I'm sure you'll feel the same way. I'm grateful that I was referred by a friend to the Geller Law Group, and will definitely use them again when I need legal help.

The Geller Law Group is my "go to" attorney. They are large enough to be able to handle almost all of your legal needs and at the same time maintain the personal touch, that is so often needed. In addition, their commitment to a work/life balance is a wonderful example for all to follow. I recommend them to anyone looking for legal advice.

Annie Peguero: Profit Where You're Planted
When I was asked to leave my seat at a Northern Virginia church for breastfeeding my baby- I felt shamed, violated and without hope.
Rebecca Geller's work on this ever important and sensitive case helped me find my voice. Rebecca provided light for countless breastfeeding mothers who have had a similar injustice happen to them.
My experience working with The Geller Law Group and with Rebecca Geller personally was a pivotal time in my life. I'm in gratitude of Rebecca's determination, professionalism and dedication to the breastfeeding law and her swift way of upholding our rights.

It's kind of tricky systems. It's very costly. I ended up to pay the Senior Attorney fee and a Senior Paralegal on my one hour consultation. I politely refused their further service after the consultation. The senior attorney offered me a Trademark service email. I refused. But, she and her paralegal again charged me another fee for what I didn't ask them to do. However, the owner listened to my frustration and she refund me a portion of the fee back. I am very thankful for what she did..

They explained everything so it was easier to understand the estate planning process and were very responsive when I had questions or needed assistance. My experience with the Geller Law Group was very positive and I definitely recommend them to anyone who needs help setting up their will and trust.

Website says Free Initial Phone Consultation. Turns out that is not the case. When I inquired about this, they said it was not free and I would need to pay for a rate of 30 minutes. Be careful!

I highly recommend the Geller Law Group. Working on wills and trusts are never a fun thing to think about or do and we were slow in getting our paperwork completed. We are grateful for Chantelle because she patiently worked with us to completion, and Hira who called us with that last “nudge” to get it done!

Working with Chantelle was a great experience. We appreciate how The Geller Law Group moved so quickly to draft legal estate documents for us before a big trip! They assisted my husband and I with creating our wills, setting up trust for our child, designating a guardian and power of attorney, and other related documents. They were very responsive to the fact that we had a tight timeline to complete the process. I recommend them to anyone who needs legal assistance.

When the girls were 2, 7 and 10 years we decided we needed to move from guardianship to adoption. We were told by other lawyers that our case was would be very hard because we were not related to these girls and also because of our age. The girls had lead a very hard life and their natural parents had many problems that they were unable to overcome, but still the natural parents did not want to give up their rights.
When we talked to Ms Sauer and explained the the details of how the children had came to be in our custody she took our case. Ms. Sauer was outstanding, and made us feel confident in court. She was very professional. In the end Ms. Sauer won our case when other lawyers had said it would be nearly impossible. Ms. Sauer was outstanding and I would highly recommend her. We now have the wonderful addition to our family of 3 wonderful daughters who are doing fantastic and are now ages 6, 11 and 14 years.
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!!!

Geller is a great, compassionate,well-oiled machine that doesn't lose sight, by any means, of its clients and the difficult decisions a client makes when trying to fashion a will/trust that will suit her/his particular needs. Sophia was GREAT -- she's a a wonderful asset to the company. I am very pleased.
In March 2019, we received an email indicating final charges would be coming for the completion of our documents followed a few days later with a $1600 "final invoice" with no breakdown. I've never not paid quickly, because I used to do legal billing and understand prompt payment is appreciated. Our document signing was in early April, and I mentioned paying everything up before arriving when asked asked to confirm our wish for the documents to be filed on our behalf. No further mention of later charges.
Fast forward to May 23rd (1.5 months+ after our last interaction with GLG), and I discover $800 has been taken from our bank. No invoice had been received (according to GLG they sent one- I had rec'd all others no problem, but nothing for this), no "overdue" notice for any charges, no receipt for this payment as all others had, no phone call "did you get this invoice?" before taking the funds - nothing. Just funds taken with no notice. I call GLG and get a call back from Betsy in accounting and her only explanation to taking funds with no notice was "there was an invoice and we had an ACH form." The problem is that no invoice has still ever been seen to date and my ACH form never had bank account info on it. Bottom line- they kept my banking information provided over the phone in 2018, despite instructions to call to obtain permission before any transactions, or obtained it from what was supposed to be a secure Quickbooks payment. As I've tried to explain, that if I had ever seen an invoice, OR there had ever been any apology for NO collections processes followed, I probably would have been agreeable to a compromise to resolve whatever balance they suddenly claimed existed. Instead, I've simply gotten emails with attitude from Rebecca Geller herself, trying to overlook the issue that our bank account was unethically used as an open access point vs. following any fiduciary responsibilities of proper legal billing and collections. It apparent this very serious matter has not been understood.
So, after making it very clear I wouldn't accept anything less than full return of those funds, a check was supposedly sent on June 6th (I was not told about it though), so on June 20th when I had to followup yet again where my money was, their excuse for the refund not arriving was that the envelope was being returned. Again, I asked for evidence out of curiousity since I've never had a package returned from my very well established address in 8 years of living here. I never got said evidence so when I accused them of this being a stall tactic (because they also could have just called me to pick it up since they know I live 7 min from their office) and insisting on picking up my check on Monday July 1 (yes over 1 month after stealing from me), they simply agreed.
So in summary, an invoice or validation of funds they claim I still owed AFTER a FINAL invoice have never yet been shown to me, funds were stolen via a misused ACH or secure online billing, and they stalled and lied to me to delay it being returned. For those who have no prior legal billing experience as I do, those are major legal ethical issues regarding billing, banking info security, and improper collections. I would hope if you choose to do business with GLG that you a) ask for Chantelle, b) watch your bank account, and c) insist on more detailed billing to verify what you are paying for. This experience has left a totally sour taste in my mouth and unfortunately this is what I'm left to share with people instead.
They were also completely thorough with the documents. They thought of items that we needed to change or consider adding. The documents were certainly not cookie cutter; they were prepared to meet our needs and her desires.
Thank you again. What a weight off my shoulders knowing I now can assist in her care.

It’s uncomfortable to think about awful possibilities, but the wonderful GLG team got us through it. We feel confident and secure, knowing we are thoroughly prepared for the unexpected. We can't recommend the firm enough!
