About Geoffrey
Geoffrey Puryear is a defense attorney, former felony prosecutor, and former Texas District Judge. He has committed his professional career to complex criminal law trial practice, trying hundreds of complex felony cases before a judge or jury. He emphasizes that hard work and experience are the path to success in the courtroom. A sixth-generation Texan, he grew up in Austin, and his father, a trial court judge and later elected to the 3rd Court of Appeals, instilled in him a love of the law. As a longtime prosecutor in Williamson and Travis counties, he tried many complex, high-profile felony trials. In 2012, he was appointed by Texas Governor Rick Perry to a State Board on criminal justice issues. In 2019, Texas Governor Greg Abbott appointed him to the 460th District Court, a newly created felony criminal court in Central Texas, where he presided over jury trials and ruled on evidentiary issues, gaining a judge's perspective on criminal courtrooms. This experience adds to his ability to leverage criminal legal experience for his clients.
