Misha was patient and very informative and helped us hash through a several issues on how to structure our trust. It has been a few years since we set up all of this and have had some wonderful life changes. Both our kids are married and both have had babies, so we plan to set up a follow-up appointment with Misha to see what we need to change. I sent my closest friend to him and she had a great experience, too.

His expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the process.

My sister is utilizing his services to revise her trust. Our son will be creating a trust with Misha soon as well. Misha is a man of integrity. Five stars!!!!! Peggy D.

Moona is really fantastic to work with. She helped us throughout my entire green card process, from…read morethe initial filing to the actual interview (and up until the actual receipt of the card). Throughout the span of our 12-month case, she helped break down what at first seemed like a very intimidating and complex process into a pretty straightforward and relatively easy experience. We especially appreciate how thorough she was while helping us prepare for the interview at USCIS, answering any questions and concerns we had along the way. She was always very quick to answer any questions we had and whenever she wasn't immediately available, she promptly got back to us. We will be sure to return to Moona for any immigration related queries and HIGHLY recommend her and her expertise to anyone looking for a knowledgeable immigration lawyer in the DC/NoVA area.

I was looking for an attorney when I came across EmClara Law and Ms. Melissa Bright, Esq. on Yelp…read more She actually came up as one of the top 10 attorneys in the area, so I decided to take a chance and give her a call. I was pleasantly surprised when she answered the phone herself. I explained my situation to her, and she spoke to me as a human being first, before even treating me as a client. I'm a newer entrepreneur building my business, so I really appreciated that Ms. Bright works with entrepreneurs who are in the early stages of their journey. I was dealing with a contract that I needed legal advice on, and she helped me take a step back and separate my emotions from the situation so I could make a more informed decision. She was incredibly pleasant, understanding, honest, and real throughout our conversation, and that conversation gave me the clarity I needed to take the next step. I also really love that EmClara Law is a woman-owned firm. As a newer entrepreneur, I found Ms. Bright's extensive experience working across big law, tech startups, and global corporations especially valuable. Her background gave her a perspective that felt very relevant to the situation I was navigating, and I really appreciated the knowledge and guidance she brought to our conversation. I would definitely work with Melissa Bright, Esq. again in the future for any legal matters concerning my business. I truly appreciate having someone like her in my corner as I continue on this journey. I highly recommend reaching out to her if you're an entrepreneur looking for an attorney who will take the time to listen, understand your situation, and give you honest guidance.

Ms. Bright was the lawyer who handled my case, and she was professional, gave me detailed explanation, and executed the law well.

Carolyn is a wonderful attorney and a supportive, understanding human being. I am truly grateful…read morethat I had the opportunity to work with her. I spoke with several attorneys before making my decision, and from our very first phone call I could tell she was different. She did not rush the conversation or treat it like just another case, she listened carefully, understood the details of my situation, and provided thoughtful, practical advice right away. That first call lasted more than half an hour, and after it, I knew I wanted her to represent me. My divorce case was long and challenging, and Carolyn was exceptional throughout the entire process. She handled many responsibilities beyond what was expected and always remained solution-focused. At times, the mediator and the opposing attorney were difficult to work with, and there were even moments when it felt like she was doing more than her share just to keep the process moving forward. She was always accessible, I could reach her quickly whenever needed, we spent hours discussing important details, and she consistently responded to my emails in minutes. I was going through an extremely difficult time financially and emotionally, and Carolyn was incredibly supportive. Even during periods when I struggled to make payments, she continued to work hard and never pressured me. In fact, there were times when she first asked whether I was financially okay before even mentioning her fees. That says a lot about her character, she is not money-centered; she genuinely cares about her clients as people. There were moments when I shared my sadness and emotional struggles, and she was supportive like a friend and, at times, almost like a therapist. She guided me with honesty and professionalism, sometimes telling me things that were difficult to hear, but that honesty is exactly what makes her such an exceptional attorney. She does not sugarcoat reality; she is direct, logical, and always focused on achieving the best possible outcome. In the end, we were able to reach an agreement, and my divorce is now finalized. I truly owe this result in large part to Carolyn's dedication, intelligence, and steady guidance. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs not only a highly skilled and successful attorney, but also a genuinely kind and compassionate human being.

A difficult & abused feeling experience with this firm…read more I needed legal help to process the estate of my deceased mother. I ended up wasting six months and about $4K, paid in fees, with no outcome with Geller Law. I was first requested to have a mandatory paid initial consultation session to go over my legal help needed. I was introduced to Julie S. during this session. After describing my specific case & needs, she informed me that Geller Law can handle my case. What followed was months of emotional stress & redundant conversations with the staff of this firm that yielded no results. It became clear to me that they didn't know how to legally handle my case. Some staff members were argumentative & appeared trying to take advantage of this emotional situation for me. There were redundant conversations that I was later billed for. I concluded that this firm is not the choice that can handle my case professionally. I terminated my work with them. The new law firm I selected to handle my case turned out to be more knowledgeable for my case. And, more compassionate with me. The process was handled smoothly & professionally to completion.
