About Geoff
Biography
Attorney Geoff N. Germane, Accredited Estate Planner, Estate Planning Law Specialist
Mr. Geoff N. Germane earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Brigham Young University's nationally ranked School of Accountancy. During school and after graduation, Geoff gained valuable experience as a financial analyst and representative for Northwestern Mutual. While there, he ranked in the Top 10 of all College Agents in the USA for volume production, and was the top College Agent in the Western Region.
Geoff then pursued a legal education at Brigham Young University's well respected J. Reuben Clark Law School. While in school he worked as a legal extern for the international law firm of Baker & McKenzie in Monterrey, Mexico and later for the San Diego Public Defender. He graduated cum laude and was selected as a member of the prestigious national Order of Barristers.
Upon completion of law school, Geoff began his legal career at San Diego's oldest and largest law firm, Luce Forward Hamilton & Scripps, LLP. There he provided legal service to clients in numerous areas, including estate planning, charitable giving, probate and estate administration, probate and civil litigation, and business advisory. Anxious to pursue his own visions and ambitions in his legal career, Mr. Germane formed his own law practice. As a Utah native, Mr. Germane chose to return to Utah from California and serve the legal needs of his community.
