Geisler Law Offices

Divorce
This is a court decree that terminates a marriage. A divorce decree establishes the new relations between the parties, including their duties and obligations relating to property that they own, support responsibilities of either or both of them, and provisions for any children. When a marriage breaks up, divorce law provides legal solutions for issues that the husband and wife are unable to resolve through mutual cooperation.
Child Support
Child Support. Child support is a parent’s legal obligation to contribute to the financial care and costs of raising his or her child. Usually support is provided until the child reaches the age of maturity, or child’s emancipation before reaching maturity or the child’s completion of secondary education. We are happy to assist you in establishing a child support order or modification of a pre-existing child support order.
Child Custody and Visitation
Modification of Divorce Decree generally refers to a change in the order that was issued declaring the couple officially divorced. The divorce decree will often contain orders related to child custody and visitation, as well as division of assets, support payments, and other issues. Proceedings to modify a divorce decree are commenced by filing a petition to modify in the original divorce action decree.
Paternity
Guardianship
Custody encompasses the care, control, guardianship, and maintenance of a child, and may be awarded to one of the parents in a divorce or separation proceeding. Joint custody is an emerging concept that involves the joint efforts of the parents to care for the child(ren).
Spousal Support
Alimony/Maintenance. Alimony or now often referred to as maintenance is an order of a court for the support of one spouse by the other spouse.

Criminal Defense
Post-Conviction Petitions. Criminal appeals are limited to the record from the original trial. However, post-conviction remedies are not so limited. There are various types of post-conviction remedies: newly-discovered evidence petitions; motions of new trial; habeas corpus petitions; post-conviction petitions; and petitions for executive clemency. They are all unique and they all have their own specific purpose.
DUI/DWI
Geisler Law is well-established in representing persons charged with DUI, alcohol-related charges, traffic charges and driver’s license reinstatements.
Wrongful Death
Most recently, the firm obtained a judgment in the amount of $2,633,311 in a wrongful death suit for the death of a civil union partner. It was the first judgment in the State of Illinois awarding wrongful death damages for the death of a civil union partner.
Traffic Violations
Petty Traffic. If you’ve been pulled over and issued a ticket for an offense such as speeding, running a stop sign or red light, mechanical violation, or reckless driving — we can help. Theses are petty traffic tickets and we can help make the difference in the outcome of these tickets.
Sex Crimes
Fraud
White Collar Crimes. White collar crime encompasses a vast list of charges including computer tampering, conspiracy, creditor fraud, embezzlement, falsifying business records, forgery, grand larceny, insurance fraud, offering a false instrument for filing, official misconduct, prescription medication violations, tax fraud, unemployment fraud, and welfare fraud among other criminal charges. The most common white collar cases involve the employer/employee relationship or allegedly forged documents.
Robbery
In 2013, the firm obtained a judgment in Logan County for $8,330,000 for personal injuries suffered to a woman beaten during a robbery at her place of business.
White Collar Crimes
Theft
Misdemeanors
Appeals. Once a defendant has been convicted of a crime, whether its a misdemeanor or felony, they have the legal right to appeal their case to a higher court if they feel there were important legal errors made throughout the conviction or sentencing proceedings. Appeals are only one of several options a defendant can take post-conviction. If you have been convicted of a crime and feel there were mistakes made in your case, please contact us to learn more about your appeal options.
Embezzlement
Drug Crimes
Geisler Law Offices has a long established reputation for its representation of persons who have criminal cases. The firm provides strong, experienced counsel in homicides, drug cases, other major felonies as well as misdemeanor, DUI, and traffic cases.
Assault
Felony Cases. If you’ve been arrested and accused of a crime — particularly a felony such as homicide — you’ll need a criminal defense attorney to protect your rights. Individuals who are already on probation or parole for another felony will find it equally important to retain a capable criminal law attorney. Even those accused of lesser crimes like theft or simple assault are likely to need legal representation from a licensed criminal defense attorney.
Homicide
Forgery

Workers Compensation
Every employee in Illinois has the right to a safe workplace. If your catastrophic injury was the result of someone else’s negligence or an unsafe workplace, you may be able to file a workers compensation case in Illinois. There are a number of different types of workplace accidents and claims, including: construction accident injury lawsuits, farming accidents, premises liability lawsuits, and workers compensation claims.

Premises Liability
We have extensive experience in representing injured persons and the families of those who died from a broad spectrum of cases including auto collisions, trucking accidents, premises liability, product liability, industrial and construction cases, nursing home and medical malpractice cases.

Personal Injury
Geisler Law Offices has been one of the most active law firms in personal injury litigation in Macon County for the past 35 years.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is professional negligence by act or omission by a health care provider in which the treatment provided falls below the accepted standard of practice in the medical community and causes permanent injury or death to the patient, with most cases involving medical error.
Auto Accidents

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Preparation of Wills. Geisler Law Offices has extensive experience in the planning of and preparation of Wills, Powers of Attorney and various Trusts. We assist clients with a range of estate planning needs, including the preparation of Primary Wills and establishing and varying various Trusts (i.e. testamentary trusts, spousal trusts, minor’s trusts and trusts for disabled beneficiaries).
Wills
Will Contests. When someone dies, dealing with their estate can be a source of strain for everyone who has been part of their lives. One of the hardest things to deal with upon the loss of someone close is coming to terms with how they have decided to leave their affairs. In some cases, an aging relative’s mental capacity may have deteriorated, another individual may have influenced the decisions being made by someone who was not in a sound state of mind at the time of their death, or the individual in question may have been forced to leave a will which leaves certain parts of their estate to people who are not deserving or connected to the will. In some instances, a will may not have been properly executed, signed or drawn up, thus rendering it invalid. it is possible to contest a will and try to gain a more favorable ruling that more closely matches what a family or individual feels might have been the deceased person’s wishes. By discussing your situation and the information surrounding it with a qualified and knowledgeable attorney, you and your family will better understand your options when a loved one’s will is in question.
Trusts
The firm has a long history of providing wills and trusts for our clients, as well as handling the estates of decedents, disabled adults and minors, and any probate litigation that may arise such as will contests.
Power of Attorney
Probate
Probate Case of the Decedent. Probate Law is the legal process of administering the distribution of a deceased person’s estate. Probate law enacts this process by resolving all claims (debts against the deceased person’s property) and distributing the remaining property as designated by the Will. Probate law interprets the instructions of the deceased party, labels the executor as the formal representative and adjudicates the interests of other parties who have claims against the estate.
