Best lawyer around!

Mr. Hosford was a referral through a trusted friend and I couldn't thank them enough. Even before I had hired Mr. Hosford he was committed to my case. He was patient with me and let me give him way more details than he needed. He listened, and that's what I needed at the time. Unlike the other lawyer...s I interviewed. He became someone I could trust early on. He opened up communication directly for my time sensitive and emotional case. He was always prompt to court, and quick to respond to me. Not only did I have so much respect for Mr. Hosford but the entire legal department did. Walking into the court room it seemed everyone had a great relationship with this bow tie adorned attorney. Talk about a stress relief. To this day Mr. Hosford has taken care of all of my legal work as well as pointing me in other directions when needed. I have referred countless friends to him and each an everyone one has booked with him. On top of just booking they were always pleased with the outcome. At the end of the day Mr. Hosford knows his stuff! He will not lead you astray and will be upfront from the beginning. Mr. Hosford treats even his smallaest cases as professionally as he does his Superior Court cases.

Bright and capable

Geoff is a bright and capable attorney who has great interpersonal skills. He handled my son's legal issue successfully and provided me with information that helped me be at ease with the cumbersome process along the way. Highly recommended!!

Diligent lawyer and to the point

Geoffrey did an excellent job in helping me to resolve my case. His knowledge of the regional judges' attitudes on the bench allowed him to represent me and make informed decisions, which helped me to win. Geoffrey continuously strives to help his clients and improve his knowledge in his areas of foc...us. He is willing to approach cases from an different aspect if necessary, and seeks fair treatment for his clients. Geoffrey provided advice on the case before actually being hired, allowing me to get a better understanding of the process, and helping to prepare me for the difficulty of of appearing in count for the first time. His professional attitude and empathy for his clients makes him an excellent lawyer, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who has to deal with the court system.
