  • Jewish "Get" (Writ of Divorce) Completed

    We represented a gentleman in Contra Costa County who was divorced from his ex-wife under California law, but was still married to her under Jewish law because she refused to obtain a "Get" from him. Without a Get, he was unable to remarry and move on with his life. We believed her actions constituted coercive control under the Domestic Violence Prevention Act because she restricted his free will and personal liberty. We filed a temporary restraining order against her, which was granted by the Judge. She pursued her own legal action against our client, and after many hours of negotiations, we were able to settle the case with out client getting his Jewish Get. Read On

  • Three Year Restraining Order After Hearing Granted

    We represented a married woman with children who had an emotional extramarital affair via text messages (known as “sexting”). Her husband discovered the text messages. Our client asked the other party to stop contacting her so she can save her marriage and family. The other party refused. He continued to contact her despite her pleas for him to stop. The other party also insulted her husband, provoked her husband, and threatened her husband. To make matters more complicated, the other party previously admitted to a history of 5150 psychiatric holds and building a handgun. We believed there was a credible threat to our client and her family so we filed a restraining order against the other party. We first had a temporary restraining order in place, and now the Court granted a 3-year restraining order after the hearing. Read On

  • Permanent Restraining Order Set Aside

    We represented a mother who had two children with a drug addict who was paranoid, erratic, and violent. In 2015, the father filed a restraining order against the mother with false accusations. The mother did not have any money to hire an attorney at the time, she did not know the law or understand the court process, and she ultimately lost at the hearing. The father took advantage of the restraining order for the past 7 years by controlling her and keeping their children away from her. He has lived with her despite the restraining order, but anytime he wanted her to leave, he would tell her that he is going to call the police and have her arrested for violating a Court Order. After a thorough review of all the court records from 2015 and the current evidence, we filed a 61 page motion (with exhibits) to terminate and set aside the permanent restraining order against our client. The Judge granted our motion and this injustice has now been remedied. Read On

  • PERSONAL PROPERTY DISPUTE SETTLED

    We represented a client who purchased a pet dog while living with their significant other. Our client was the primary caregiver of the pet dog during their relationship and after the relationship ended. Several months later, our client's significant other retained an attorney and claimed ownership of the pet dog. After we reviewed the pertinent legal documents, we discovered that both parties were named as the Buyers on the Bill of Sale Agreement, and both parties contributed monetarily to the purchase of the pet dog. As a result, they were both legally entitled to the pet dog. We were able to negotiate a buyout, which gave our client 100% ownership of the pet dog, and the opposing party a temporary visitation schedule. Read On

  • Child Custody & Visitation Dispute Settled

    We represented a father in a child custody and visitation dispute. The father was moving to another city in the Bay Area and he needed to adjust the current co-parenting plan. In addition, the father wanted to modify the summer vacation schedule. Due to the different parenting philosophies of the parents, there was a dispute between the father and the mother of what was in the best interests of the children. After a lengthy negotiation, we were able to successfully resolve the dispute outside of court and file a Stipulation and Order, which was approved by the judge.  Read On

  • Temporary Emergency (Ex Parte) Orders Granted

    We represented a mother who previously used a legal document preparation service to request custody orders of her two minor children in a DVRO proceeding against her ex-boyfriend. The paperwork was unfortunately not properly prepared and the custody orders were denied, which the mother believed put the welfare and safety of her children at risk. The Geller Firm was then retained and we filed a separate request for Temporary Emergency (Ex Parte) Orders, which were granted by the judge. The children are now safe with their mother. Read On
