About

Geoff is the founder and CEO of the Family First Firm. Born in Oregon, his family relocated to Orlando when he was a small child, so he considers himself a proud semi-native of Central Florida. He attended the University of Central Florida (go Knights!) where he graduated with honors and a degree in business administration. After college, he decided to attend Emory University for law school. Upon graduating from Emory, he returned to Orlando to marry his fiancee, start a family, and begin practicing law.

In 2009, Geoff decided to start his own practice, and he has dedicated the last decade to serving seniors and families throughout Central Florida. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his beautiful wife and their two little girls. He loves to travel and enjoy the outdoors with his family and frequently visits the Pacific Northwest. When he's not preoccupied with the firm or the family, you can usually find him reading a good book, trading timepieces, or playing the piano.

Medicaid Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for Medicaid, you have to pass three tests. The first test is a medical-necessity test. A doctor will have to determine whether you, the applicant who is trying to receive Medicaid, need the care. Essentially, the doctor will assess whether you require daily assistance, the type you would receive in a nursing home or long-term care facility.

Probate

When you or a loved one passes away, an estate’s transition, called probate, goes into effect. Usually, the family is responsible, alongside a probate attorney, for distributing probate assets.

Guardianship

It’s always best to be prepared. Make tough times easier on your family by setting up advance directives. In an emergency, assign your own guardian.
