Posted by Steven | February 26, 2014 | Appeals

Expert Appellate Advocate

I have worked with Jeffrey for many years, on numerous cases, and in every instance he has never ceased to impress me with his diligence, attention to detail, broad based knowledge and character. Jeffrey is an extraordinary appellate advocate, who is able to take complex matters and distill them int...o persuasive arguments to be made on appeal. His writing is superb, and watching him at oral arguments is nothing short of impressive. Jeffrey is smart, committed and dedicated to pursing my company's best interests, and without hesitation I give Jeffrey my highest recommendation.
