Judge Geoffrey D. Wright: Professional Background and Legal Expertise

Biography

The Hon. Geoffrey D. Wright (Ret.) was a judge for the Civil Court of the City of New York in New York County. He was elected to the Civil Court in 1998.


During his tenure on the Civil Court, Wright was appointed acting justice of the New York County Supreme Court. In 2017, after an incident on the bench, he was removed from the Supreme Court and reassigned to the Queens County Family Court.


Wright received a B.A. in American studies from Union College in 1971. He went on to earn a J.D. from Albany Law School in 1975.


After law school, he entered into private practice. Wright first practiced as an associate at the law office of John L. Edmonds (1976 to 1983) before joining Seavey, Fingerit, Vogel, Oziel & Skoller in 1984. He then became a partner at Wright & Fingerit in 1991 and remained in that capacity until joining the Civil Court bench.
