President—insurance agency

Stock sale of insurance agency. Geoff guided us the complicated issues associated with the sale and successfully jousted with buyer’s attorneys. He expedited the process seamlessly. We would not hesitate to use him in the future. We are very grateful to have had his expertise.

Business Owner

We used Geoff to help us sell our insurance agency this year. He was very professional and knowledgeable. Not only is he an excellent lawyer he is also an extremely nice person.

The Perfect Attorney

Geoff was instrumental in providing counsel on the sale of my business. His attention to detail, thoroughness and professionalism was above and beyond any legal professional I have worked with in over 25-years. Jeff served as corporate counsel for my business and was praised by opposing counsel and... their client for his skill and knowledge of the law. I highly recommend Geoff's legal work for both small, mid-size and large corporations. His skill set as general counsel, transactional law and overall legal knowledge is unsurpassed.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
