Trusted Guidance In Land Use, Zoning, Administrative Law And Litigation
My name is Steve Geller. I am the founder of the Geller Law Firm, PA, in Fort Lauderdale. With over 40 years of experience practicing law and deep-rooted connections in state and county government in Florida, I can provide knowledgeable insight when dealing with your legal issues.
A Unique Blend Of Legal
Acumen And Government Experience
I currently am a Broward County Commissioner, and former Mayor of Broward County. I was a member of the Florida Legislature for 20 years, where I served in both the State House of Representatives and the Senate. Because of my government experience, I provide strategic insights that can significantly impact the outcome of land use and zoning cases, administrative law issues and more. My background can be especially helpful to real estate developers outside of Southeast Florida.
I bring to my law practice a depth of knowledge regarding state and local zoning requirements that I use to untangle the complexities of government regulations, and this knowledge works for the benefit of my clients. I know almost all elected and appointed officials in Broward, and the ones that I don’t know all know of me. Clients deal directly with me, and I am accessible at all times.

Proven Success in
Steering Development Projects
I focus on a wide range of projects in the area of land use and zoning law, with a particular emphasis on infill development and redevelopment projects. This includes securing development rights for high-value projects such as multifamily apartments, condominiums, hotels, mixed-use developments, and gas stations. I have also handled many Code Enforcement issues.
I have represented clients in front of many City Commissions, Planning and Zoning Boards, Design Review Boards, Code Enforcement Boards, etc. I work very well with community groups and neighbors, and I have sometimes been brought in by other large law firms just to work with the neighbors because of my skills and experience in forging compromises and showing neighbors that the projects can be a “win-win” for both the developer and the neighbors. As a current member of the Broward County Commission, I have a deep understanding of development issues in Broward County and throughout South Florida.

Hear
From My Clients
Steve Geller has been an attorney for Oceanland Investments for over 25 years, representing the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates for over 25 years on zoning matters. He has become a real friend, and I have followed him through three law firms. I met him when I had received unanimous approval on a project from a City Commission on First Reading. Then a neighboring property-owner hired Steve to oppose my project. When I went back to the City Commission for final approval, the City turned me down. That’s when I decided I wanted Steve on my side in the future, and I’ve never regretted it. He has assisted me on multiple matters in multiple cities. -Jean Francois Roy, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Oceanland Investments, Inc.
Steve Geller has represented my companies for over 10 years on multiple Zoning and Land use matters, obtaining entitlements for my projects in different cities. Geller was very effective with City officials and neighbors. He has always been fast and responsive to my questions, and has arranged meetings on short notice. I have recently engaged him on a new matter. I recommend him highly as an attorney. -Giuseppe Iadisernia.
