This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best attorney ever. Highly recommend

I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Probst. He took over my case on a slip and fall (ankle injury) case against cruise line in which I spent my cruise getting around in a wheel chair while celebrating my 30th wedding anniversary with my husband. My previous attorney dropped my case with litt...le notice and not knowing what to do he came to the rescue. He is very professional, caring, answered all my questions, and kept me updated and informed every step of the way. He was even able to get my case settled before my trial date for an undisclosed amount that was much better than I thought it would be due to the fact that cruise lines are in bad shape right now because of the pandemic and not sailing g for almost a year now. I was very pleased with the outcome. I will definitely refer any friends or family member that need legal counsel to him in the future. From this point on he will be my go to person for any legal issues that may arise in the future. 5 stars is not enough I would give him 100 stars if possible. He is an excellent attorney. Susan M.

Most honest attorney I've ever met!

Mr. Probst is a very professional attorney. He cares and listens attentively he offers questions and advice with the utmost knowledge. Geoff is the most honest attorney I've ever met or spoken with. He advised me on a case of a skin burn from a waxing. He was able to text very quick responses if you... have a question and will call you with any updates on your personal case. Please be assured that you are in great hands with Mr. Probst law firm. I recommend him very highly

Thrilled!

I am beyond happy with the outcome of my cruise ship bed bug case. I live in another state so we did this through emails and conversations. It worked perfectly. Geoffrey’s advice was always thoughtful and right on. He continued to fight for every penny that he could. I couldn’t ask for a better lawye...r and I wish he did all types of law as I would use him for everything!

6 stars if possible. 10/10 recommend

I chose Geoffrey Probst to represent me after a accident I experienced on a cruise ship that left me with a broken foot. The cruise company didn’t want to accommodate me in any way what so ever. the rest of the time spent on the cruise I was in a wheelchair with my significant other pushing me around... and all our excursions canceled along with the shows and activities on the ship. Due to covid, the process was really slow and I understood that wasn’t Geoffrey’s fault but my patience paid off. Geoffrey responded with the upmost professionalism and truly had my back within this whole process. He stayed in contact with the cruise company and ports and their insurance companies at all times even during the lockdown of covid. I would recommend him to all my friends, family and colleagues. Thank you Geoffrey.

Excellent Attorney

Thank you for everything, you are the best! Mr. Probst is very committed to his clients and an excellent attorney! He helped me with maritime law when other attorneys could not. I cannot say enough about how impressed I was with his vast maritime law knowledge, commitment to my case, and the amount o...f time he spent helping me. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking counsel!
