tax issue that Jeffrey handled

Jeffrey met with me and went over the details and what to expect . Then he explained and followed up with each document needed. Jeffrey accomplished more in a a very short time then I could have expected. I had tried other lawyers in the same matter and not one came close to Jeffrey's results. I ha...ve recommended him several times to friends , Family and business men . He still keeps in contact with me make sure all is ok .

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
