Excellent representation

I went thru my divorce about a year ago after a 20 year marriage. Geoff was always proactive and provided excellent advice during difficult proceedings. Geoff was always very responsive to my questions. I would definitely recommend Geoff for any family law matter.

Couldn't Ask for More

Attorney Seufert helped me with a custody/placement change due to unsafe circumstances at the other parent's house. He aimed for peaceful communications but was always willing to aggressively advocate for my child and was bold in court. He was quick to respond anytime I had a question, advised me... on working with a Guardian ad Litem, and followed through on everything. Geoff was confident, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and easy to get along with. I noticed he had a good repoir with his colleagues: lawyers, court commissioners, guardian ad litem, and judges alike. I recommend Attorney Seufert without hesitation for any family law matter!

Excellent Family Law Attorney

Attorney Seufert assisted me with a complex family law matter more than eight years after my divorce. The issues involved were quite complex in nature, and the opposing attorney was rather aggressive in his handling of the case. Mr. Seufert guided me through the case in a very level-headed and prof...essional manner. I appreciated his dedication and understanding of my case, and all the of his time and effort in gaining a fair outcome for me. I recommend working with Mr. Seufert in his area of expertise of family law in SE Wisconsin.

Professional, thorough and knowledgeable throughout the whole divorce process.

After my first meeting with Geoff, I knew he was the attorney to help me with my divorce. He helped me stay calm and think logically during a very stressful and emotional time in my life. Geoff was knowledgeable, empathetic and never hesitated to answer any of my questions (and I had many). I ofte...n asked Geoff for his opinion and I always felt his opinions were thoughtful and had my best interests at heart. Because of Geoff’s guidance, I was confident in both our approach and my decisions during the divorce negotiations. We worked out an agreement, and a big part of that was because of the steps Geoff took to keep our case moving forward. I know if we would have gone to court, I would have been well represented. I have already recommended Geoff Seufert to someone.

Look no further

I was recommended to Geoff by a friend. He guided me through a fairly lengthy paternity/custody case, explaining each step and process fully. He worked with my odd work schedule, was diligent on every detail, and answered every question or issue that came up. A pleasure to work with, and if anything ...were to arise in the future, I have no hesitation returning or recommending him.

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.
