I have practiced family law for 18 years. I love the client contact, the problem solving, and the creative solutions that go into resolving complex family litigation. My practice is focused primarily in Waukesha and Milwaukee, but I do travel to the surrounding counties as clients need.
When I first began my legal career, I assisted clients in other matters besides family law. However, I now practice exclusively family law because of both the empathy I feel toward my clients and the unique set of interdisciplinary skills that family law practice requires. Each day is different. On Monday, I might negotiate a child custody agreement, relying on input from a court-appointed social worker and other child specialists to develop the best schedule that meets the developmental needs of a child, while also maximizing placement for both parents. On Tuesday, I could be discussing with an accountant how to appropriately value a closely-held family company. On Wednesday, I may be advocating for my client at a court hearing, presenting arguments to the judge on jurisdiction issues of an international child abduction case. On Thursday, I might spend time discussing retirement account planning for my client with his/her financial planner. And, on Friday, I may be sitting down with my client to develop a comprehensive agreement to resolve their case. Each day is different, and each client is different. I enjoy the ability to creatively problem-solve with my clients to develop a complex strategy to meet their goals and needs.
Outside of the office, I enjoy being active. From soccer (coaching and playing), to cycling, to kayaking, to skiing, to epic family vacations, I love spending time with my family experiencing all that the outdoors has to offer. When I can afford some quiet time at home, my time is often devoted to cooking, socializing with friends and family, searching for new and tasty whiskeys and wines, or pursuing my delusional childhood dream of becoming a world-class drummer for a famous rock band...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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 ...
Thank you for your recommendation and kind words, James. It was my pleasure to assist you.
"I have had a number of cases with Geoff as opposing counsel, and have worked with him as a Guardian ad Litem as well. He is ethical, practical and easy to work with."
