Knowledgeable, thoughtful, and supportive!

Being accused of a crime is something I never would’ve imagined could happen to me. Geoffrey and Justin at Cofer and Connelly were there for me every step of the way. They were incredibly professional, thorough, and kind. Justin, the lead investigator on my case, used his many years of experience in ...law enforcement to support me. Having never dealt with anything like this before, Justin took time to help me understand the process, helped me organize my information, provided me with frequent updates, and always treated me with the utmost respect. He also went above and beyond to help make my family and I feel safe throughout this ordeal. The team at Cofer and Connelly is incredible and I can’t thank them enough for helping me beat this wrongful accusation!

Saved My Life

I was badly in need of a lawyer. After researching multiple people I came across Geoffrey Puryear and was sold by his long list of credentials. This was the best decision I could have ever made. Geoffrey and Sarah were there every step of the way to help make the case as easy and stress free as possi...ble. They were able to get the charges against me completely dropped, and allow me to go back to my life with open opportunities. I will forever be grateful to them for their help and kindness.

Truly Amazing

I could not be happier with Cofer & Connelly. Simply the best criminal defense team in Austin. Jeoffrey and his superb team consistently provided updates, and quickly responded to all my calls and emails. I felt there was no way to improve the probable outcome of my case. I took a chance on Jeoff...rey. I would say getting all my charges dismissed is an improvement. TRULY AMAZING! I would not hesitate to recommend Cofer & Connelly to my family and friends. Jeoffrey, I truly appreciate all that you and your team accomplished!

mr.

Geoffrey is a positive, sincere professional. He provided the legal service that I required, and worked to favorably resolve my case. I would highly recommend him to personally face any legal challenge an individual is presented with.

Awesome Attorney

Last year while visiting Amarillo my husband was arrested on various serious charges in Pottery county. I was distraught, while searching for attorney’s in other cities I stumbled across Geoerffy. I can’t explain how grateful I am to Geoerffy. While representing my husband, He was very professional, ...honest, up front with pros/cons in the situation, He was professional very aggressive yet strategic against the DA. Honestly one of Best Decision, I ever made in Texas you can’t go wrong with Mr. Puryear.

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."
