Geraci-Law-LLC

- A typical day at work: 
A typical day is fast-paced and varied. I support attorneys, assist clients, handle administrative tasks, and help keep everything organized across the office. No two days are exactly the same, which keeps the work interesting and requires you to stay flexible and on your feet.

- What I believe I learned:
I’ve learned a lot about working in a legal environment, especially bankruptcy law, and how important accuracy, organization, and communication are. I’ve also grown a lot in my ability to manage multiple priorities, adapt quickly, and handle responsibilities.

- Management:
Management is supportive and trusts employees to take ownership of their work. I’ve been given opportunities to grow by being placed in different office settings and trusted with training new employees, which has helped me build confidence and expand my skills.

- Workplace culture:
The workplace culture is professional, fast-paced, and team-oriented. There’s a strong focus on helping clients through what is often a very stressful time in their lives, and I appreciate being part of a team that values respect, patience, and efficiency.

- Hardest part of the job:
The hardest part of the job is balancing a high volume of tasks while staying responsive to urgent needs that come up throughout the day. It requires strong organization and the ability to shift priorities quickly without losing attention to detail.

- Most enjoyable part of the job:
The most rewarding part of the job is working directly with clients and helping them feel supported during a stressful process. I also really enjoy training new team members and contributing to different offices, which has helped me grow professionally and feel more confident in my role.

Having worked here for over 10 years, I have only good things to say about Geraci Law.  I have been given opportunities to advance my career constantly throughout my employment, and used these opportunities to grow and become involved with a wonderful team of people doing amazing things. 

The people working here are all very kind and professional.  I feel like I am a part of a team that cares about their jobs, clients, and each other.  

The pay is competitive based on experience, and the benefits are very good.  Geraci provides health insurance, a 401k, PTO, flexible scheduling for work-life balance, and remote work options, amongst other things.  For a non-lawyer working at a law firm, I am impressed with the benefits package. 

The work-life balance is exceptional.  I would say Geraci is overly generous with scheduling, PTO, and handling unexpected emergencies.  I have always been given flexibility with my work hours, which has created a fantastic balance between my personal and professional lives. I have never been pressured to come into work sick, or cover for another employee when they call off unexpectedly.  

I have received numerous paid training throughout the years, both on premises and remotely.  We are strongly encouraged to educate ourselves and keep up with industry standards, even as non-attorneys.  

What Geraci Law provides is opportunity.  There are people who choose to take the opportunity and advance, or to maintain their career trajectory without the need to grow.  Having been one who seized on these opportunities, I can only say good things about what Geraci Law has done for my career and life. 

The day goes by rather quickly for non-attorneys if you just stay on task and the team leads are usually very helpful if you have questions...and much to their credit very patient considering the work they have to crank out while explaining things (especially the sales/client call team). There are sometimes tasty croissant sandwiches served in the office which is always a welcomed sight. The firm is growing quickly and that is an excellent opportunity for anyone and as someone also studying for the BAR I found the scheduling flexible enough (especially if you are willing to come in at 7am as a member of the phone team).

Lots of different personalities and while there can be some slight stress dealing with people (not just on the phone, but the occasional negative brush with an attorney that is caught up in work) most of it is just normal everyday human interaction and as long as you do your job in an honest fashion you will have people helping you and trying to improve your performance. 

Overall a solid job. I can only see this being a problem job if you really hate work of this kind in general (if you prefer isolation/are hyper cynical don't get a job working with 90 people a day over the phone)

Training at the moment is improving but as I said before the veterans are very helpful when they can be and there are helpful meetings every week where you can ask questions.

You will have to dedicate extra hours a day as you rarely get to leave at your scheduled time. If you do, you face repercussions. You will not have a life outside of this job
Management will tell you 15 different things and then act like you’re crazy when you repeat it back to them. 
You’re graded as if you’re in high school again, and if you aren’t first in your class then you’re useless to them. 
Your aggressive and mean coworkers will get bonuses and raises while you’re ignored and talked down on. 
This is a phone center from the heart. If you aren’t prepared to work in a call center, you are not fit for this position. If a call center is what you seek where you get penalized for being too detailed but also penalized for not being detailed enough, this job is perfect for you. 
Peter Geraci will personally send out firm wide emails that degrade employees, clients, and anyone that does anything remotely incorrect. 
You absolutely will find some amazing people in the job, but the bad outweighs the good 100%. The two friends you make out of 30 enemies is just not worth it. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Geraci Law is a great firm that invests in its employees and truly makes even the hard days bearable. I have been here for 2 years now and anticipate being here for many more. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes dealing with the clients can be stressful as emotions are running high, all things considered. But, there is always a team to assist if you are struggling.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is very tight knit and supportive.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Lots of phone calls, prepping appointments for the attorneys, dealing with appointments of our own for documents, scheduling appointments, assisting with court hearings.

Since I started with the Firm, it has grown 10 fold. Evidence of career advancement opportunities is, I have seen college students start working for us, go to Law School and become Attorneys. While management supporting and accommodating every step of the way. When I started at the Law Firm, I was single.  Now I have 4 children and 8 grandchildren.  Earning enough income to purchase a home, send my children to private school and college. As well as building a retirement thru our 401k.  However, I’m most indebted to this Firm for how they accommodated and treated me in personal and family crisis.  Both my wife and I are cancer survivors. Amazingly after 30 years, there is a huge upside for me and everyone else that works here.

You WILL help people working here. That's the best thing I can say about this firm. It cares about it's clients, and the attorneys are great and go the extra mile whenever possible. 
However, the management are yes-men and never on the same page. Attorneys are constantly micro managed, while paralegals are told 5 different things in 5 minutes. There is zero cohesion on a managerial level.

I want to end this by saying I have a lot of respect for Mr. Geraci on a personal level. I genuinely believe he's a good person. I just wish he saw how the people below him are directing the firm when he isn't watching.

I’ve been employed with Geraci Law for the past 8 years. . While employed at Geraci Law; I was provided the necessary tools to expand my skill set and knowledge base. I had the pleasure of working with great mentors. The teamwork and colleague support; coupled with hands on training which allow for seamless integration into the very productive work environment at Geraci Law. I’ve always felt that employee safety and well being were a top priority as well. I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to work for such a prestigious law firm. Geraci Law Firm will always have a special place in my heart.

Pros
Flexible schedule, Competitive pay, Safe clean work environment and NO WEEKENDS

Screaming and belittling others is commonplace; micromanagement from multiple individuals in other offices; lack of direction; being pushed to answer phone calls to the point it feels like you work at a call center; management gives conflicting directions to office staff and attorneys; appointments are scheduled at closing which meant late nights; and no work life balance. This firm will try to squeeze every minute out of you to the point that you jeopardize your personal health and time with loved ones.

Will teach you everything you need to know about bankruptcy and client management. Top priority is helping people. Incredibly rewarding line of work.  Management really cares about employees as people. Once you leave the office you’re not expected to do any work in the evenings or weekends. Amazing pay and really great work hours for a law firm. If you’re able to get in while they’re hiring, consider yourself lucky.  Openings are uncommon.  Great benefits and 401k matching. Coworkers are some of the nicest and most intelligent people around. No drama.
