While at UT, Geoff was Editor of The Daily Texan before graduating cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in Government. Afterward, he went to New York where he received his master’s degree from Columbia University’s School of Journalism in 1994. Geoff then returned to the University of Texas at Austin where he obtained is juris doctorate in 1996. During law school, Geoff clerked at Austin Minton, Burton, and Foster & Collins for two years.
After passing the bar, Geoff moved to South Padre Island and joined the Cameron County District Attorneys’ Office in 1997. During his tenure at the district attorneys’ office, Geoff began as a misdemeanor prosecutor rising to become the Misdemeanor Supervisor, and then ultimately a First Chair Felony Prosecutor. During his four years as a prosecutor, Geoff tried more than a 100 cases to a verdict, including two capital murders, two murders, several sex offenses and a variety of drug and violent offenses, including a world-renown animal cruelty case involving a fatal dog stoning. Geoff’s greatest achievement during this period, though, was a capital murder conviction he obtained in a case without a body or any forensic evidence indicating death.
