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.

Posted by Susan | September 18, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

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.

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...n in my spouse which required a formal income assessment prior to the mediation. All of the communication between Geoff and me was extremely efficient. Jeff uses face-to-face meetings, phone calls, emails, and texts in his communications. This was extremely important to me as my day to day work does not allow for many long sit down meetings. Geoff's demeanor and command of the hearings with Court Commissioners and the Judge were also superior. He was comfortable, and when necessary courageous and direct, in his statements and questions. I highly recommend Geoff to anyone seeking a bright, strong, successful, accomplished attorney in any Family Court or Divorce case. But especially think he is head and shoulders above other attorney's where efficient communication and cost management are important.

High recommendations for Geoff Seufert

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.
