Estate Planning and Trusts

In transitioning the experience of an ever changing world, my wife, Shirin and I were seeking legal professionals not only for their experience, but also their ability to understand our personal situation regarding Living Trust and Estate Planning . Geoffrey is best of the best.

 He listened to o...ur questions and provided answers in words we could understand. 

More than once, Geoffrey went the extra mile and was always there for us above and beyond our client/lawyer relationship. It is my pleasure to recommend Geoffrey as a very qualified attorney who can handle any unique legal situation he is knowledgeable and trained. The law firm of Unsworth LaPlante are lucky to have him as one of their employee.

LLC Filing

I came to Geoffrey with my business partner looking for help in the matter of changing our business from a DBA to an LLC. Going into this process, there were things we admittedly didn't know that we had to do. Geoffrey was very helpful in directing us, making sure we covered all the steps necessary... in order to complete the process properly. We were very pleased with his thoroughness, his attention to detail, and his personable nature, making himself available to us to answer any of our questions, no matter how big or small. He was a huge help in navigating us through our operating agreement, acting as a proactive listener and providing us with helpful suggestions in order to come to an agreement of which we both understood and were satisfied with. I would highly recommend Geoffrey to anybody looking for help the way we were, and truly appreciate his care and attention to detail in all matters that involved us as his clients.
