In 1991,</span><a href="https://protectingohio.com/attorneys/michael-k-geiser/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Michael Geiser</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> was hired as an associate attorney. Mike worked as a law clerk for the firm while completing his law degree at Capital University Law School. In 1997, Mike was made a Partner and owner of the law firm. In 2003, Mike was named the Managing Partner.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With an eye toward serving the next generation of Ohioans, the firm named </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><a href="https://protectingohio.com/attorneys/j-scott-bowman/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">J. Scott Bowman</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> as a Partner in July 2015. Like Mike Geiser, both Scott started clerking with the firm while at law school.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Scott worked 9 years at Cecil &amp; Geiser before leaving for another firm. Scott is well known for his ability in the courtroom and is Board Certified. Board Certification is only awarded to the top 1% of trial lawyers.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other law firms have recognized us as top-tier personal injury lawyers, selecting us as</span><a href="https://www.superlawyers.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">SuperLawyers</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, an award given through a patented process that relies on peer recognition and professional achievements. We have earned the title every year since 2012.</span></p><h2><b>Our Commitment to Our Clients</b></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We take pride in our ability to deliver superior service and results for our clients.

When we take on your case, we will relentlessly pursue it and strive to get you everything you are entitled to. We are so confident in our ability to get a positive result that, if we don’t win a verdict or settlement, there is no cost to you.</span></p><h2><strong>Co-Counsel Agreements</strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other attorneys and firms have contacted us for assistance in major injury cases to act as counsel or co-counsel</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Our firm&#8217;s longevity, experience, and success have given us the resources to take on some of the most challenging high-damage cases in the state of Ohio.</span></p><p><strong><a href="https://protectingohio.com/ohio-personal-injury-attorney-co-counsel-agreements/">Learn more about GB Law&#8217;s co-counsel agreements and the benefits of partnering with our firm.</a></strong></p></section><section class="sidebar w-30-l w-100 mb5-l pa4"><aside id="secondary" class="widget-area"><section id="recent-posts-2" class="widget widget_recent_entries"><h2 class="widget-title">Recent posts</h2><ul><li> <a href="https://protectingohio.com/blog/driver-insurance-company-sued-car-accident/">Can an Insurance Company Sue You for an Accident in Columbus, Ohio?</a></li><li> <a href="https://protectingohio.com/blog/ohio-motorcycle-laws/">Everything You Need to Know About Ohio Motorcycle Laws Before You Ride</a></li><li> <a href="https://protectingohio.com/blog/what-is-qualified-immunity-in-ohio/">What is Qualified Immunity in Ohio?
