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!!!

Excellent lawyer; got good results

Geoffrey explained the legal proceedings regarding my misdemeanor driving charge and then proceeded to get a result that was better than I had hoped for. He's a hard-working affable guy, easy to communicate with. I would recommend him to family and friends.

Excellent lawyer

Geoff was extremely helpful with both my case and separate issues with my son. In the case of my son there were several none charged phone conversations including offers of FREE counseling to him to help get his life together. He is a knowledgeable, compassionate lawyer who's heart is in the right p...lace . I can strongly recommend him for whatever your situation may be.

I am grateful to have met both you and your son during this process. It is great to see how your son has transformed his life and is on the right track. As for your situation, I am glad we were able to get you into the ARD program. A hard-working guy, such as yourself, deserved a break like that. Enjoy retirement in Las Vegas and I will be sure to look you up when I make a trip out. -Geoff

What a great person to have on your side!

Geoff has helped our family on few different occasions. We resolved my husbands issues with his driver license in no time! Philadelphia is such a difficult county to deal with but Geoff had excellent contacts in that county as well as Montco.
