Geoff Seufert

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!

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.

I retained Geoff after being served with divorce papers in July 2014. Geoff has done an excellent job of guiding me through the divorce process, which for me involved a myriad of complicating factors. There were a few times when I wanted to extract revenge on my wife through the legal process in resp...onse to something she had done, but Geoff calmly talked me down and explained why that would not be productive. After my divorce was finalized in January 2015, I began reading books on co-parenting after divorce and came to understand that the manner in which the parents interact plays a huge role in how well the kids adjust to their new situation. I now understand that the approach that Geoff took (i.e., not trying to antagonize the other parent through the legal process) is the best approach for setting the stage for co-parenting after the divorce is final. In regards to the financial settlement in the divorce, Geoff first explained what the legal guidelines were so I could calibrate my expectations. Then, with that framework established, he made sure he understood what was important for me and was able to negotiate a reasonable settlement, even when it initially appeared that my wife's attorney was not being reasonable. Ultimately, I am very happy with the service Geoff has provided.

I originally retained Geoff for paternity and placement representation in a matter involving my infant daughter and a non-marital situation back in Nov 2011. Geoff was very knowledgeable in the various avenues and options I was able to pursue. And even though I was determined to have what I believe...d to be fair, Geoff’s strategy and wisdom proved to be the better course of action. With a calm demeanor and non-aggressive approach, he never gave into the opposing lawyers games and held fast to what he believed was the right course for me and my daughter. Considering that the “other” lawyer was “senior” in experience, Geoff proved to be 100% more professional in communication, professionalism and knowledge of his field. Looking back, I’m glad that it was Geoff who I chose to represent my daughters and my interests in solidifying our relationship and fair placement given the various circumstances I was facing. His legal assistant Trinette Hernandez proved to be a very valuable asset as well in terms of legal administrative knowledge and support. I would highly recommend Geoff and his top-notch professional skills in family law, child custody and placement.
