About James Geoffrey
James Geoffrey Lare trained as a lawyer at Widener University’s Delaware School of Law, earning his J.D. in 2005 after completing studies in legal studies in 2002. He went from classroom to courtroom during a period of steady change in practice and procedure. The sequence of his education provided a foundation in substantive law and courtroom procedure that he would carry into private practice.
After law school he entered practice and built experience representing clients in state and federal matters. He has handled cases that required appearances in trial courts and filings at the appellate level. That practical courtroom experience shaped the way he approaches case preparation and client communication. He is comfortable drafting pleadings, arguing motions, and handling procedural issues that arise in litigation.
Lare is admitted to practice in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and he is admitted to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Those admissions allow him to pursue matters that cross state lines and to file appeals at the federal appellate level. His work spans both state and federal processes, and he has navigated the differing rules those forums impose.
He operates out of Lare Law Office, LLC, where he manages matters for individuals and organizations. The office handles filings, court appearances, and client counseling. He prioritizes clear explanation of legal options and procedural steps so clients understand what to expect at each stage. Colleagues and clients have noted his steady courtroom presence and his attention to procedural detail.
Today he continues to practice from Lare Law Office, LLC, focusing on litigation in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and on appellate work before the Third Circuit. He maintains current professional memberships and practices actively in both state and federal courts. His current practice focuses on representing clients in litigation in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
