Brilliant Attorney - Fighting for Justice

I have the pleasure of speaking with Geoff and his team. He is very friendly and knowledgeable about many aspects of law. He has a proven track record of success so I contacted him first and only. Although I did not have a case, he gave me time and his listening ear, making me feel like he cares.

Awesome attorney! Look no further!

Wow! I can not tell you how thankful I chose Geoff Meyerkord to help me! Honest, straightforward, and always willing to take my calls. If every attorney was like him, attorneys would not have a bad name. If you want someone who can explain it to you, not make you feel stupid, and who seriously ha...s your best interest in mind...look no further! I would give 10 stars if I could!

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.
