Navigating the legal system is overwhelming, but it’s even more so in cases involving family law. Any time a relationship ends and/or children are involved, emotions run high, and conflicts can seem insurmountable. At Geller Benjamin, LLP, our divorce and family law attorneys, located in Boston, MA, have the experience and skill you need to see you through this difficult time and help you achieve the outcomes you desire. When a marriage ends, you may need to deal with dividing assets and liabilities, and potentially paying or receiving spousal support or alimony.
Geller Benjamin, LLP has experienced Boston area divorce lawyers who will vigorously represent your interests as these decisions are made. If your situation involves children, you need a child custody attorney to deal with custody, visitation, health insurance costs, tax deductions, paying or receiving child support, and handling other expenses. Geller Benjamin, LLP handles all these issues with competence, confidence, and compassion. It is also important to realize that divorce and custody disputes can go on long after settlements are reached. It is often necessary to seek immediate court orders to ensure one party does not withhold financial resources from their spouse or children, engage in abusive behavior, or otherwise act inappropriately. Later, it may become necessary to modify your judgment or agreement based on changing needs and resources of former spouses, parents, and children.
Financial issues are typically more complicated when one party is self-employed and/or a family business is involved. The lawyers at Geller Benjamin, LLP are here to assist you in navigating these complex issues and helping you obtain the best outcome for you and your family.

Attorney Benjamin won my respect right from the introductory meeting and continues to deliver great solutions every step along the way. His acumen has earned my complete confidence in him.
One question is often asked when you divulge your divorce: “You have a good lawyer?”. I have a good lawyer.
Attorney Benjamin always returned an inquiry whether by phone or email, which I greatly appreciated. I was always informed every step of the way. Meeting in person was always friendly and informative. I highly recommend him.
James Benjamin was my attorney for a divorce that was long and complex.
He is professional, kind, and very good at explaining the different options and what he thinks is the right way to tackle something.
He helped me get through a very difficult situation and helped me to advocate for the best interest of my child. I found him to be honest and straightforward in figuring out what to do.
I can’t say enough good things about him and highly recommend him!
The firm was always available to address my concerns. My email and phone calls were replied to /answered promptly. They have my utmost recommendation. My case went smoothly and timely.
I had a complicated and acrimonious divorce that had been lingering in the courts for over 2 years. Within a few months of taking on my case, James was able to reach a settlement agreement. He was also the only attorney I dealt with, over the course of the case, who I felt truly understood how important it was for me to continue to be an active parent for my children, and also understood what this practically entailed for the settlement terms. I will be forever grateful for his considerate and professional management of my case.
Attorney Geller and the Geller Benjamin, LLP legal team helped me understand the requirements and procedures every step of the way during my immigration filings and wait times. Attorney Geller is responsive to questions and accessible for consultation throughout the petition process. I am very appreciative of the team’s legal services.
James handled the sale of a property for us. It was a difficult transaction but he kept us informed and continued to submit changes to the buyer as needed. He has also taken care of my family’s wills. He is very easy to work with and his follow through is impeccable.
Jacob is a very knowledgeable lawyer who is punctual and extremely responsive. Jacob expressed professionalism during my application process to become a U.S. citizen, keeping me informed and up to date every step of the way. Thank you so much Jacob for all of your hard work!
Attorney Benjamin comes highly recommended! He is knowledgeable in family law and relentless in his defense of your rights. He recently represented me in a child support matter and did so effectively. I will be seeking his services in other upcoming matters as well.
Jacob helped me during one of the most difficult time in my life. His understanding and dedication to my divorce helped to make it a little easier. He is also fluent in Spanish which was a big plus; do to my emotions every time I couldn’t explain myself he would talk to me in Spanish and that would make me smile and it would help me relax. Jacob is not only a great attorney but an excellent human being.
I was fortunate to find James. He recently helped me with complex family financial legal issues. He is very technically knowledgeable and(as the review below states): “he is impeccable in his follow through” – he never left me hanging without returning calls or getting things done and was very always supportive. I have been a CPA for over 35 years and have worked with many lawyers. He is unquestionably one of the most competent attorneys I have met, while, at the same time, also being the most responsive to his clients’ needs. I felt protected and understood.
I hired Jacob D. Geller to help me to remove the conditions of my Green Card, based on divorce (divorce after a good-faith marriage). Jacob was transparent, confident, and accessible through the entire process. At the end, I had the conditions removed, even without the need to go for the famous interview with an immigration officer, which saved me a lot of worries. I am deeply tankful for his professionalism and commitment with my case. I highly recommend Jacob D. Geller and his team to work on your case.
James Benjamin served as my mother’s divorce lawyer in Boston, MA. From the very start he presented us with various options on how to tackle it while always giving his guidance on what he felt was the best option for her, but still allowed her to make the final decisions.
My mom is extremely happy with the end results and would highly recommend his services to anyone. He always responded promptly whether by email, text, or phone call. He explained the situation and any terms, new vocabulary and even the possible outcomes of how the case could go. He dealt with everything so we would not have to and we are extremely appreciative of it!
I would like to send Jacob my sincerest and heartfelt gratitude and pray for his commitment and assistance towards my successful green card application. I would not have been able to achieve my complex goal of US legal permanent residency without Jacob’s help and expertise. It was only through his high competence level, expert knowledge of the field, seemingly tireless work days (and nights!), incredibly ardent attitude, and positive energy throughout the process moving forward that my wife and i were able to stand where we do now. I have nothing but high remarks and reviews for Jacob and his firm. Jacob all I can say is thank you and you’re the best at what you’re doing. I will recommend Jacob Geller a zilllion time for your immigration case. and he is a super nice Guy.🙏🙏🙏 Much respect mister Geller Jacob.
