Geist focuses his practice primarily in trust and probate litigation. Originally from Alliance, Nebraska, Geist earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. After moving to Las Vegas, Geist earned his Juris Doctorate from the William S. Boyd School of Law at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and continued his legal education by obtaining his Master of Laws degree in Taxation from the Dedman School of Law at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. He focuses his practice primarily in trust and probate litigation.

How to Be Likable on Social Media
How to Lose Your Friends on Social Media Growing up, we learn our fair share of social norms. From not talking with our mouth full, to knowing that it’s impolite to interrupt someone mid-sentence, certain guidelines have been drilled into our heads. But with so many of our interactions moving on-line, some of us are still learning how to appropriately behave behind our screens. We noticed that a certain chapter is obviously missing from the modern day etiquette handbook – and we’re here to make things right. We consulted the social media gurus at Wix (ie: a room full of community managers) and broke down the top 10 things that will get you unfriended on social media:
August 2017
The food photographer We get it, you eat. You’ll never believe this, but we eat too! Unless you want your friends at Wix to take a picture every time we get up from our workstations to shove a handful of cookies in our mouth, keep the food photography to really special meals. If you do insist on taking photos of your beautiful meal, please don’t forget to include a link to the restaurant website so that your followers can try the dish too. :) The gym rat Woah, did you just run 10K in 10 minutes?! #Beastmode! We hate to break it to you, but your athletically challenged friends over here are breaking a sweat just looking at all those pics of you at the gym. It’s not that we’re not proud of you, it’s just that the guilt can be a lot for us to bare. Part II next issue Mr Too Much Information The Gamer Mr. "You Know Who" The Politician eNewsletter 11
