Outstanding Experience - Excellent Attorney!

My experience with Geoff was exceptional. Geoff worked a multi- year, very complex employment case in which I am very pleased with the end result. From the very first call until the final day, Geoff listened and advised with great detail and communicated continually with care. Having worked with ...many attorneys, I can safely say that Geoff's attention to detail, knowledge of the law, ability to handle multiple depositions and legal writing skills are outstanding. What really sets Geoff apart is the comfort and care he puts into his relationship with the client. I truly felt taken care of from beginning to end. Would hire again without hesitation.

Great experience!

Geoff did a fantastic job with our employment issues and handbook. Very responsive, great at explaining the minutia, and just overall a positive experience.

Strong, Vigilant and Understanding

“I hired Geoff Chackel to help out with a difficult and complex employment discrimination case. It was an overwhelming time for my family and me and Geoff was able to translate an unfamiliar "legal world" into a process and words we could understand. He was strong, persistent and articulate and took... the time to really get to know my case. I could not be happier with the service Geoff provided.

Retail Business Owner

With a business involving 15 employees taking care of customers, issues are bound to arise. Our first phone call when we are uncertain of how to handle a situation is to Geoff Chackel. He is a voice of reason for us, yet he is strong going to bat for us when we have been a target of either a cus...tomer or employees lawyer.
