The Geller Law Group

The Geller Law Group was launched with the goal of providing high-quality legal services while emphasizing a healthy work–life balance for the firm’s employees. Our firm stands out as a leader in the legal industry, revolutionizing the law firm model to create a place where parents can be lawyers and successfully balance legal careers with being actively involved parent. In less than 7 years, the firm has blossomed into a vibrant company with 19 employees and over 3,000 clients.  Among our 19 employees, we have 27 kids and the average age of our kids collectively is 8 years old. The Geller Law Group was profiled by The New York Times in 2015 for our innovative approach to maintaining work/life balance. We have done things differently from the start – we encourage our employees to work from home and to build their schedules around the lives of their families and clients. We believe that a firm that understands the way modern families work can provide truly personalized services. We want our employees to be happy in their jobs and happy in their lives because that attitude gets passed on to the work they do for their clients. The numbers show how successful this approach has been. Additionally, the firm has volunteered over 500 hours of pro bono legal work every year for the past four years. In March 2017, we organized a training for 150+ lawyers in the DC-area to learn how to help unaccompanied, vulnerable children coming to the U.S. who are in need of legal help. We worked closely with KIND (Kids in Need of Defense) to recruit the lawyers and facilitate the training so that the legal volunteers can take on pro bono cases to help children navigate legal issues involved in seeking asylum, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status cases, or the U & T visa processes. In addition to the firm’s pro bono legal work, we organize firm-wide volunteer days 2x/year in which the entire company shuts down for a business day and the whole team volunteers to help the community in soup kitchens and food pantries. We run annual food drives bringing in over 2,000+ pounds of food for a local pantry. In August 2017, we collected over 80,000 diapers/wipes for Hurricane Harvey victims in Houston. We are committed to giving back to our community and demonstrating exemplary corporate leadership as a law firm.
