| Description | Mr. Geller is a partner in Fishback Dominick. He is a tireless advocate for his clients’ interests and always comes to the table with solutions to legal challenges. Since 1992, when he began his career, Mr. Geller has built a diverse portfolio of legal expertise. He is board certified by the Florida Bar in City, County, and Local Government Law and represents clients in both the public and private sectors. He has litigated and gone to trial on a wide variety of issues, including allegations of fraud, breach of contract, breach of public and private construction contracts, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of trust, interference with business relations, deceptive and unfair trade practices, unfair debt collections, and civil racketeering. And he has represented employers pursuing actions against former employees who have violated covenants not to compete, or who have violated confidentiality agreements. Among the businesses he has represented are automobile auctions, automobile dealerships, banks, insurance institutions, pest control companies, rental car companies, medical practices, and resorts. In the area of municipal and local government law, Mr. Geller has handled quasi-judicial and court proceedings involving construction defects and delays, cell tower denials, code enforcement appeals, competitive bid challenges, public contracts, billboard location denials, as well as zoning and comprehensive plan amendments. He served as an Orange County planning and zoning commissioner from 2009-12, during which time he helped shape myriad county ordinances, adjudicated zoning applications, and played a key role in rewriting the Horizon West Village Code. In connection with Fishback Dominick’s role as City Attorney for the City of Winter Garden, Fl., he assisted with the writing of the city’s downtown historic district code. From 2011-14, Mr. Geller taught land use law and urban zoning codes as an adjunct professor in Rollins College’s Master of Planning in Civic Urbanism program. He currently serves as vice chair of Bike/Walk Central Florida and chair of Congress for the New Urbanism, Florida Chapter. A champion of pedestrian and bicyclist safety, Mr. Geller has written extensively on the subjects of safe road design and walkable neighborhood schools.
