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...

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...

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 ...
Thank you for your recommendation and kind words, James. It was my pleasure to assist you.

Outstanding Work on Difficult Divorce Case
Geoff is an outstanding young attorney. He handled my very difficult divorce case from April 2013 to April 2014. The case took only one year, due in part to Geoff's ability to navigate the case and work constructively with opposing counsel and a court appointed mediator. The case involved addictio...

Nothing but the best!!
I retained Geoff when I was faced with a surprise divorce. Geoff was top notch at handling everything for me, as well as carrying me when I lost my father in the middle of the divorce! In my opinion (and luck) My ex hired a butter knife while Geoff is a samurai and a Jedi 'Master. If you find yourse...
"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."
