More Than Qualified
Mr. Puryear was more than qualified to handle my recent case. He has alot of experience and knows his way around the court system. I was very blessed to have retained his services. He is well versed as a defense lawyer. I highly recommend him.

5-Star Attorney
I hired Geoffrey Puryear to represent me in a criminal case. I was arrested for a felony and was looking at possible prison time. I was really worried but Mr. Puryear calmed me down.

Geoffrey Dylan Puryear's Lawyer Endorsements
"Geoffrey is a remarkable lawyer. He is patient, thorough, and works diligently to achieve the best outcome for every client. He is also a former judge with experience few lawyers have. I highly endorse him for any criminal case."
"I have known Judge Puryear for well a decade. He is an exceptional attorney and experienced courtroom advocate. Lots of lawyers talk about trial skills, but Geoffrey is the real deal. He has tried some of the most complex and important criminal cases in the State of Texas. He has a tremendous record of success and knows how to win in the courtroom. Additionally, Geoffrey is a man of great integrity and principle. He upholds the highest ethical standards of our profession. It is with great enthusiasm I endorse Judge Puryear."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Mr. Puryear for the duration of his career. I have worked on cases with him and against him and I know him to be a dedicated and skilled trial attorney. He knows the law and knows how to get great results in the courtroom. His clients are lucky to have him by their side. His litigation skills are definitely a benefit to his clients."
"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."
