Geoff was OCL for my adult children. Completely arrogant and self-absorbed; dragged out court process grandstanding and loving the attention. Children were annoyed by him as he only spoke about himself and his personal issues growing up in a disfunctional family. Geoff is not educated in current family law - disregarded clearly demonstrated domestic violence of Applicant and impact on children. Geoff is only focussed on himself.

Geoffrey was understanding of my situation and that was a good start.This is based on early days of this process..it's not done yet-but so far so good.Empathy counts in my book.

Geoff Carpenter did a great job, on many levels, handling my separation. Firstly, his knowledge and experience in this area are second to none. He raised concerns in areas that I hadn't even thought of and offered realistic solutions. I found him to be very down to earth, and I always felt better and at ease after meeting with him. This is incredibly important when coping with what may be one of life's most stressful situations. Beyond that, he was timely with responses and always easy to contact. His advice, his approach and attitude to handling a rather difficult and complex separation is why I would recommend him.

I wish I would have read the reviews before I chose this jerk. Everything negative said about him is bang on. No way should he be practising law and especially family law. His website is a fraud. Lawyers are disgraceful people but this guy takes the cake. If you are dumb enough to choose him then you are even dumber than me.

Geoffrey is a very unprofessional lawyer who is only motivated by money and does not concern himself with facts and standards of professionalism you would expect from a family law profeasional. His behavior at court was embarrassing and, I feel was part of the reason for my expensive and unsuccessful result

Geoff has been great with my case, attentive and an excellent resource. His attention to detail is very good and I was always left with the impression that he had my best interests in mind at all times. His strong legal acumen lead to out of court solutions that saved me thousands of dollars.

By all means, this is not personal that I wanted to write this review, we all have are good and or bad experience. Honestly, Geoff at the beginning her sounded knowledgeable and will be advocating on your behalf, but as your case progress, it became clear that his # 1 priority is the money. after leaving him, my new lawyer did tell me that he does not have a good reputation amongst other lawyers.

Geoff acted with genuine concern and compassion at a time when I needed it the most. He kept me informed about the process, was very knowledgeable, straight forward but at the same time showed true empathy and understanding of my circumstances. I appreciate everything Geoff has done for me. He made the transition from a terrible time in my life that much easier and treated me like a friend while maintaining his professionalism. I always felt very confident after speaking with Geoff and would recommend him to anyone looking to resolve their family legal matters.

Only interested taint your money and dragging the process out as long as possible. Also likes to incur many additional costs without adding any value or results. Should not be allowed to practice in something as important as family law!

If you want any hope of securing your rights in the horrible world of family law, Geoff is the person you want representing you. I would have completely lost my kids if he wasn't defending me. Geoff is very intelligent, he's confident, and he knows the law. He likes to win, and isn't intimidated by even the most seasoned lawyers. He focuses on the issues and cuts through all the **** and intimidation tactics that other divorce lawyers try to pull. If anything, the judge reviewing your case will be happy that Geoff doesn't waste his time, and that will get your further ahead. I fully agree with the previous comments that say Geoff is arrogant. He's good at what he does and he knows it. But who would you rather have defending you, an arrogant lawyer who wins, or someone who is incompetent?

Just awful. He denegrates the legal profession with the way he operates. His arrogance is unparalleled, his ability matched by every lawyer within 100 km and his morality is easily compromised

Horrible lawyer and should not be practicing family law. Newly called to the Bar and is unreasonable to deal with. Very arrogant. Doesn't have kids yet, and has no idea what a good parent is... has no compassion.

The last comment is simply not true. I met wtih Geoff and of course a retainer was discussded, however he took on my case without a retainer and I was never harassed to pay my acccount. He completed the work and I was happy with the result.

Enduring a battle for child custody ranks as one of the most painful experiences that a family endures and having an experienced legal team on your side is essential. Geoff and his assistant, Katie, couple their legal expertise with a passion to resolve your case with a compassionate understanding. I would heartily recommend Geoff for resolving your family legal problems.

Geoff Carpenter should not be practicing family law, he does not have children himself but he seems to think he know's what everyone else's children are thinking/feeling.
