Business 10%

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.

Guardianship 5%

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.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

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.

Not your typical attorney!

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 m...y 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.

"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 li...ttle 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.
