Jeff is exceptional

I have known Jeff for years, as he shared an office with my attorney. He always seemed to be advocating for people in bad spots. Over a week ago I asked my attorney for his contact information as I have an issue with a storage unit that is leased in my building. Today is Friday and when I called t...o tell them I needed his help he told me it would have to wait until Monday. I included him on a copy of an email exchange - he called me back and told me he needed to respond immediately. He took that initiative and I am looking forward to a positive outcome. That kind of response is what you need in an advocate.

OK ATTORNEY GOOD NEGOTIATOR BUT . . .

Jeff McAdams is AN OK ATTORNEY who is personable, caring, and professional, and who will represent you in a satisfactory manner. This Ivy educated barrister is a one-man show who is professorial in personality and style, generally trustworthy, but more of a negotiator than a litigator. A big possible... problem with Jeff, however is that he is notorious for NOT returning phone calls to clients in a timely manner, and quite frankly, hopelessly lost and/or forgetful in tracking his cases without his able assistant. BOTTOM LINE: CLIENT BEWARE: If you can put up with unanswered messages left at his office, not being informed of the progress of your case, and wondering when work is going to be finished, then stick with him, otherwise out of frustration you'd be wise to find an attorney or law firm that is better able to be more attentive to your legal needs.

  • 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.
