Would Hire Again!

Geoffrey is a very efficient, trustworthy, and knowledgeable attorney. When I consulted with him all questions were answered and my charges were taken care of in a timely manner. If you're looking for an attorney in Wilmington: Geoffrey is your guy!

Excellent lawyer, and nice guy too

Mr. Hosford did an excellent job with my case. I had a misdemeanor criminal driving charge while I was in college, and some friends who had used him in the past refered me to him. During the consultation he listened to my issue and gave me a few options of how to approach my case. We ended up continu...ing the case for awhile to get me time to get my affairs in order, then we eventually decided the best course of action for my case was to plead guilty to the least severe charge available. I never felt pressured to take the plea though, he was willing to try the case if I wanted, but I ultimately decided a plea was the right move for me. Overall, I am very satisfied with his work and advice. Hopefully I never need his services again, but if something ever happens, he's my guy. I keep his business card in my wallet, it has a pretty cool statement on the back that invokes all your Constitutional rights if you give/read it to a police officer. It's a nice touch. A+ lawyer!

Dismissal or not guilty

I've been dealing with Mr. Hosford for a long time he's never left me misunderstood. Dismissal or not guilty is the rules he play by. I needed him one time in the wee hours in the morning and he was there for me Jeff Hosford is my lawyer The Best of the Best

Amazing

My honest review is that Mr. Hosford is the lawyer you need to help you out in any case. My family and I can't thank enough how much of a help he is. There are no complaints. For every consultation we had, he's very informative, and puts your mind at ease but he's honest when he needs to. In the cour...ts, he networks with everyone before the case starts with such confidence that makes you feel that everything will be okay and he succeeds. He has been hired for two of my family members for different cases and occasions and helped us out several of times. He's respectful and down to earth. He's a professional, amazing lawyer and we will always hire him for anything. If you do a research on him you'll find out he took someone out of the death penalty. Come on what more can you ask.

"Excellent Job"

Mr. Hosford did an excellent job winning my criminal case. He was very polite and easy to talk to, which helped being I was very nervous about my case. He demonstrated in court, that he is determined to win his cases for his client. He is absolutely a go-getter!
