Best lawyers

Mr. Puryear did it again! I truly can’t thank Mr. Puryear and his team enough for the incredible work they did on my case. I was facing an extremely serious situation — my life was on the line. With the deferred adjudication I was on, I was staring down the possibility of probation revocation and a l...ong prison sentence. It was one of the most stressful and terrifying experiences of my life. But thanks to Mr. Puryear’s brilliance, experience, and relentless dedication, everything was dismissed. My charge is gone. He navigated an incredibly complex and high-stakes case with absolute mastery. Mr. Puryear is nothing short of amazing — his expertise in the courtroom, his calm and reassuring presence, and his ability to deliver outstanding results are unmatched. If you ever find yourself in legal trouble, this is the man you want in your corner. I will forever be grateful to Mr. Puryear and his phenomenal team. They truly changed my life.

Exceptional Long Distance Legal Representation

Attorney Puryear provided outstanding legal counsel for my DWI case. From our first consultation, he clearly explained the legal process and potential outcomes. His knowledge of Texas DWI law was impressive, and his strategic approach made a significant difference. Thanks to his diligent work and exp...ertise, I qualified for pre-trial diversion, which was the best possible outcome for my situation. He was responsive, professional, and genuinely concerned about my wellbeing throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Attorney Puryear to anyone needing skilled criminal defense representation in the Lubbock area.

THC felony case dismissed and misdemeanor not filed. All charges dropped

Excellent lawyer who had a great team working for him! I was very pleased with Geoffrey and would definitely recommend Cofer & Connelly if you need a possible felony to disappear

Best lawyer ever

Geoffrey, Kevin and Camila are the best! I was charged with 4 enhanced felony charges and was being offered serious time. With their help, all 4 cases were dismissed and I walked away a free man. If you’re in trouble they are your guys.

Most Amazing Lawyer in the World

Geoffrey and his team, Kevin and Camila, were amazing. They delivered in every way possible and were able to get our difficult case dismissed! They transformed a stressful and overwhelming experience into a journey where they supported and guided us. They communicated with us consistently and offered... direction for literally every step of the way, every obstacle, and every hurdle we ran into. The support they provided us with isn’t easy to find or come by; we got so lucky with them and they have set the standard high for us. They were so kind and gave us exactly what we needed to navigate this process. We truly appreciated how they treated us as equals and how closely they worked with us the entire time. We really couldn't have asked for a better team to represent us. To highly recommend would be an understatement.

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 05

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"You'll have a hard time finding an attorney with a wider range of criminal law experience than Geoffrey. From simple DWIs to complex felonies, from fine-only offenses to those carrying a possible life sentence, he can handle any criminal matter a client may be facing. Unlike the vast majority of defense attorneys, he possesses a unique ability to analyze a case from the perspective of a prosecutor, a defense attorney, and also a judge, because he's been all three. He also understands that being an effective defense attorney is more than just knowledge of the law and a powerful courtroom presence, it also requires thoughful consideration of each client's situation and tailoring his representation to address individual needs. I wholeheartedly endorse Geoffrey and would recommend him to anyone currently entagled in the legal system."

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.
