Uninsured motorist case

Geoff did a fantastic job. He took a no win situation and turned into a positive result. This was a complicated uninsured motorist case. Which resulted in two insurance companies paying out. Geoff was honest the whole time during the process he insisted that case may not even payout. I was happy wit...h the outcome. This was after another lawyer decided not to take the case. Geoff wanted to take chance and he exceeded my expectations.

The best lawyer ever!

Geoff and I came together through a mutual friend from a traffic accident 5 years ago. We had alot happen In that time. Geoff was steadfast and very caring . He found me the right doctors to get me back to some normalcy. We got through the pandemic and many problems that arose from the pandemic. G...eoff was great, and we settled with great success. Thank you. I would recommend Geoff to anyone who needed an attorney.

I would highly recommend Mr. Smith to anyone who is looking for a competent and respectful attorney that knows how to get the job done.

12-Year-Old Hotel Neglect Case

I started my case back in 2018 and I went through a handful of different professionals that were helping with my case. From the time that Geoffrey signed on to my case, things moved quicker and smoother. Geoffrey always made sure to explain things in their entirety. One of the biggest concerns I had ...with this case is that I have not met any of my lawyers in person as I live about 6 hours from NJ, but Geoffrey made communication through email and phone calls, that much simpler. This was a hard case for me to bring up and go through and Geoffrey did a fantastic job of acknowledging my feelings as well as letting me know where he stood as the depositions ensued. I would 100% hire Geoffrey again.

Professional, Diligent, Thorough Representation

I was in three accidents in 15 months. He handled the first and third accidents. No one was injured in a major, life-altering way, thankfully! The timing of these accidents made it difficult to be compensated as fully as would have otherwise been expected. I appreciate that Geoff still went to bat ...for me. He negotiated my medical expenses and worked diligently to make sure they were covered. He negotiated thoroughly with the insurance company to make sure I was compensated with the highest payout possible. I was very pleased with what he was able to do for me! I can’t say enough about his professionalism, as well as the respect I felt working with him. I am glad I had Geoff representing me and I would confidently recommend him to anyone!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
