This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very helpful

Geoff offered me consultation on how to get a small civils claim case started. He gave me the opportunity to present him with the details surrounding my situation. He let me speak without any interruption. After collecting all the details, he asked me a few follow up questions and then offered me his... professional opinion on the matter. He gave me realistic scenarios to better help me understand the potential outcomes and gave me a check list of things I would need to bring and things I would need to do to prepare for the case. While he knew he would not benefit financially from helping me he still spent time with me on the phone none the less and I think that speaks highly on his character. Thankful for his consultation.

GREAT Attorney

Geoff was a great help in handling the paperwork and filing for my divorce. He was very knowledgeable, patient, personable and caring. He’s one of the most responsive and helpful lawyers I’ve ever dealt with and has very reasonable fees. I would highly recommend Geoff for any dealings you may need... legal representation for!

Geoff is a phenomenal attorney! He handled my case with knowledge and professionalism. Geoff takes time to listen and his communication is timely and on point. He is trustworthy and genuine. I would hire Geoff again in a heartbeat should I need future legal counsel, and have already recommended him t...o friends and family.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
