Jeffrey James Schietzelt
About me
A 2002 graduate of Fordham Law School, Mr. Schietzelt has quickly gained recognition as a prominent litigator in New York City and beyond. Having obtained a number of multi-million dollar outcomes for his clients over the years, Mr. Schietzelt has been recognized by Superlawyers Magazine as a "Rising Star" in his field for four straight years.
