About Geoffrey

Elder Law, Medicaid Protection, Drafting of Wills, Trusts and POA's. We make house calls!

Born in Painesville, Ohio and attended Saint Mary's grade school from first grade through sixth grade.  Went to John R. Williams and graduated from Riverside High School. Played little league baseball in Painesville on the Giants and Astros.   Participated in football and wrestling in high school and went to college in Louisiana on a wrestling scholorship.     

I am married and have two adult children. My oldest, Tom, is a professional baseball umpire, currently working in the minor leagues.  My son John graduated from Kent State University in May of 2016 and is looking at future employment options.

Would love to play golf year round but my choice to live in Lake County hinders that goal.

I truly enjoy the practice of law. The opportunity to assist my clients, whether it is advice in business, estate planning or Medicaid issues, is extremely satisfying.
