Geoffrey is first and foremost a trial lawyer. He routinely handles business tort litigation from inception through appeal. He has received national acclaim individually as an insurance MVP in Law360 and in the Legal 500, and was part of a nationwide Chambers-ranked insurance practice known for monetizing contested insurance claims involving business interruption, contingent business interruption, first-party catastrophe, property damage claims and bad faith/extra-contractual insurance disputes with insurance carriers.
