Excellent Attorney

I retired from working as a legal secretary after 25 years. I never even considered using one of my previous employers to represent me. I was extremely impressed with his kindness, consideration, and how easy it was to talk with him. He was able to get a quicker result than I ever imagined possibl...e. I would highly recommend Geoff to anyone. He was a pleasure to work with.

Extremely knowledgeable and professional attorney - was a great help!

Mr. Weed represented me in a difficult real estate matter. He was very professional, and always kept me up to date on what was happening. He is very knowledgeable, and ended up making some changes that were to my benefit. I would definitely go back to him, and in fact, talked about meeting with hi...m to discuss my estate planning.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
