About Jeffrey
Biography
When I began practicing law in 1995, I dedicated my practice to zealously helping my clients receive the full damage awards they are due. I am not afraid to stand up to the large insurance companies and their defense teams. I'm a confident negotiator, and I'm not afraid to take your case all the way to court when the insurance companies don't want to fairly compensate you for your injuries.
When you are injured in an auto accident, when a dog attacks you and you need a dog bite lawyer, or when you are hurt due to someone else's negligence, it is important that you hire a seasoned trial lawyer to defend your rights at the negotiating table and in court for your personal injury claim.

Ambulance chaser BE WEARY
This guy is used to his clients' trips and falls and does not disclose information. I have gone to the Bar Association, hoping they can help resolve this. When his mouth is moving .....

Replied last April 1, 2024To those reading this review, note that the person who posted this did so anonymously, but I do know who it is. I cannot say certain things due to attorney-client privilege, but I will say that generally speaking, it's imperative that your lawyer be told EVERYTHING. You cannot leave-out important information that once revealed (it always gets revealed at some point during the process), can ruin the case-especially where, as here, the lawyer (me) was blindsided by critical information that had I known, I would not have taken the case. Indeed, I was lawyer #2 hired for this case by the anonymous client. And even though here, important information was not told to me, I was somehow able to get this person $45,000.00. And not even a "thank you." Or "I am sorry for not telling you everything." Just a report to the Bar Association, which will most certainly tell this anonymous person that I did everything above-board, as always.

It was a pleasure working with Jeffrey. He supported me every step of the process and made sure I was compensated fairly for my damages. If you ever find yourself in an accident, do not hesitate to contact this firm.
