Workers Compensation

About Geoffrey Hillsberg

I opened my firm in 2001 with a focus solely on representing injured workers and handling Workers’ Compensation cases. I have purposely kept the firm small so that I could get to know each of my client’s unique needs and provide individualized service.

While I directly handle only Workman’s Comp cases, I have developed a network of attorneys who handle other matters such as motor vehicle accidents, Social Security Disability, and Domestic Relations, so I am ready to ensure my clients get the best representation possible. It is also crucial that your Workers’ Compensation claim be coordinated with any other lawsuits that may arise from the accident. I have a strong working relationship with the attorneys I refer clients to. Over the years, I have come to know many of the doctors in Delaware County and the surrounding areas, so if you need it, I can help you find a doctor you are comfortable with.

I graduated with honors from the University of Michigan in 1990 and with honors from the George Washington University National Law Center in 1993. I was admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar in 1993 and subsequently served as a law clerk for the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation in the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry writing decisions for several Workers’ Compensation Judges.

In 1995, I joined a firm in Media, PA, where I handled hundreds of Workers’ Compensation cases and ran the Workers’ Compensation Department before striking out on my own in 2001.

I am a member of the Pennsylvania Association for Justice, Workers’ Compensation Section and the Delaware County Bar Association, Workers’ Compensation Section. I have written and lectured on Workers’ Compensation issues in the context of continuing legal education and union meetings, and have lectured to attorneys on complex Workers’ Compensation topics.

Hired Attorney

Geof has a special relationship with his clients. He is not only a great Advocate but a friend, to his credit. I have no quames in recommending Geof to any and all. Geof has a friendly but forceful demeanor in deling with his adversaries, which again to his credit gets things done quickly.

These FAQs include information about a lawyer's background, but do not evaluate their knowledge of the law, past performance on individual cases, personality, or communication skills.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
