Secure in my choice of Geoffrey Hood

I needed a great lawyer and Geoffrey Hood came highly recommended. He is very well respected by the judicial system on all sides. I hired him on 4 separate occasions in the past several years to represent me on issues that could have had long term personal and financial consequences. He explained wha...t was expected of me in every case, how we would respond and he continued to keep me informed during the case. Most importantly he was successful. The recommdations were sterling and I agree so I'm happy he is currently my attorney. Thank you Geoff for all you do!

A wonderful first impression!

I have just hired Geoff to represent me in my case and I would like to point out my experience so far. I originally had a different attorney for this case and to make a long story short, from the start, I felt that there was something off about my previous representation. We were at my pre-trial conf...erence and I was ridden with anxiety and panic as I felt that my attorney, in a nutshell, had not provided me with any effort regarding every aspect so far with my case. Before my case number was called I felt as though the decision that was basically forced upon me, I was not confident with. I wanted to ask another attorney in the building questions regarding my option in that moment. I ran around the court house in a panic, even down to the public defenders office, where no one could help me then and there, and was trying to pull any attorney I ran into, to the side to quickly answer a couple questions that I was in dire need of the answers to. No one would help me! I was almost out of time but a gentleman I sat next to was being represented by Geoff and admittingly, I was sort of listening to him speak to his client. I thought to myself that I wish my attorney knew what he was talking about like this one does! I honestly followed him out of the room and when he was finished speaking with his client, I approached him and asked if I could ask him a couple questions! Now most attorneys, at no fault of their own, are busy busy and truly don’t really have a second to sit down with someone who has not hired them, however, Geoff agreed without any hesitation, even though he was very busy as well! I was so pleasantly shocked when he sat down with me! At that point, I knew that I wanted my attorney to withdraw and I wanted to hire Geoff! I knew that Geoff was not only a seasoned and sharp attorney, but I could tell that he was a good person within. His kind and genuine character shined through and I am so overly happy and relieved to be able to have him represent me from now on! This is the type of person you want as your attorney! Someone you can feel confident in, that you know will work to his best ability to try and produce the BEST outcome for his clients, possible, and on top of that, an honest and genuine person who is fair and will provide you with financial options, if necessary! Again, I am looking forward to working with him more then ever and I am finally not completely horrified to face what the future may hold with the outcome of this case! I know that I am in the BEST hands!! Thank you Geoff!!!

Very helpful!

Mr. Hood helped us a lot with our son's case. We spoke on the phone and he explained very clearly what our options were. He handled all of the paperwork for us. He also met with us before court and explained what he was going to try to negotiate for our son. He was able to get the ticket reduced to a... violation that did not include a license suspension. He was very professional and answered all of our questions. We were very pleased with the results that Mr. Hood achieved for us and were very grateful. We would absolutely recommend him to a friend.

Always seemed to look out for me as a client.

He was very patient and understanding. Went through every avenue with me of choices I could have. Would always listen to my concerns and give me the knowledge I'd need to make an informed decision. I'm glad I chose him as my attorney. Thank you Geoff. For everything.
