I want to say that Geoff Dietrich is the best!! I had to go through probate after my father passed away and was dreading this process. Geoff made it so easy and was there to answer every question I had. I am truly thankful for Geoff and his team. I will use this law firm especially Geoff Dietrich for any and all legal matters I might have that is in their circle of expertise. I truly am thankful I chose him to represent me.
I have worked with Geoff Dietrich to get my estate in order and buy a life insurance policy. From the very beginning, I have had a different experience with him and his firm than I have with the many other attorneys I have dealt with in the past. I couldn't believe that Geoff was willing to come to my home to make meeting easier on my young family. That was the first of many times he showed his skill for wrapping his mind around every one's individual situation. He has an amazing knack for listening and understanding individual circumstances and then proposing solutions that fit those unique needs. His patience is unmatched, his communication skill and style is professional and assertive without being aggressive or opinionated. He is gentle but very knowledgeable and will help find a solution for whatever estate planning or insurance needs you might have. I have recommended and will continue to recommend him to friends with full confidence.
I love starting, forming, and developing companies. The energy entrepreneurs bring to any event is phenomenal. There are so many considerations when you begin a business. Start it right by consulting with me about what is going to be the best entity fit for your needs.
My focus is on growing strong businesses. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and too often small business owners operate without more than bare legal coverage. I hope to reach small business owners and offer structure and legal teeth to their organization and agreements. I aim to put my services within reach of the small business. We focus on finding out what makes you tick, what ticks you off, and structure our recommendations and the documents we draft for you accordingly.
When a person is too young to make decisions or is incapacitated and can no longer care for their own interests, guardian law allows the court to appoint someone to make legal and welfare decisions for them. A legal guardian may be appointed as a limited decision-maker or an all-purpose decision-maker.

My firm started when I realized I was too much of an entrepreneur
to sit locked in a large firm researching the tax code. I spent a year
working with the Corporate and Tax groups at a larger firm and when the
economy tanked, we all suffered. I started this firm with the goal to
reach the entrepreneur, be flexible and creative with fees, and help
businesses develop their legal backbone.
I own my own business, now. I actually own part or all of four
businesses. As a small business owner, you have to diversify to be
successful and I believe you miss out when all your eggs are in one
basket. I cannot guarantee success, but I can guarantee that when one
business struggles, any one of the others is carrying the load.
My style and strength is in listening and then
acting swiftly. I prefer to keep things low stress for you. We will
give you plenty of notice and stay in regular communication throughout
our representation. Once you are ready to go, it's game time.
I
enjoy woodworking - building furniture, shelves, benches, etc. I love
to golf, but am horrible at it. I really love to swim - I competed back
in high school and still find the rush of water as I criss-cross the
pool very calming. I am trying to finish a work of
science-fiction/fantasy.

Not your typical attorney!

"A friend you can rely on"
Geoff worked with me to complete some estate planning. I had worked with his firm the previous two years and had a wonderful experience working with both him and his firm. Geoff has the ability to explain complex things very simply. He seems to have answers that other attorneys are lacking. He showed me ways of reducing both income taxes and capital gains that were significant and unique. Geoff has a wonderful way of expressing himself both verbally and in contractual documents. I highly recommend Geoff.

Trustworthy & Respectful !
I hired Geoffrey Dietrich as an attorney to help me at a difficult time in my life when I had to decide if I was going to file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy . He gave me all the facts so I could make a good decision for myself. I never felt pressure from him or his staff even when I was a little crazy at times with all the stress and pressure going on with me. He and his staff were always supportive and professional. I made it through those rough times with his help, so for that I am very grateful to him and all his staff. He is down to earth and I feel he is genuinely concerned for your overall well being and does what he can to help. I strongly recommend Attorney Geoffrey Dietrich for his expertise as well as being a trustworthy person who if needed again, I would call. Thanks Geoff.

Do not recommend
Communication was not answered in a timely manner.
Estimates on time frame / costs did not map to reality.
Legal documents drafted by Dietrich contained blatant errors.
Made a difficult situation even more painful and lengthy.
