Great Response

Although my case did not meet criteria for a claim at this time, Jeff went above and beyond in his efforts to reach out to me after my request. He thoroughly reviewed my case and provided me with useful information for moving forward.

Posted by Mark | January 20, 2012 | Social Security Disability

Highly Recommended

Jeff has represented both myself and one of my children for seperate personal injury matters. Jeff is very knowledgeable about both the law and medicine. He is very sympathetic to the clients needs and their injuries. He fights extremely hard for his clients even after one my cases settled he helped ...me get the disability benefits I had been previously been denied free of charge. He has done an excellent job for myself and my family and I would highly recommend him!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer and his firm. In a prior firm I defended a case where our client was a co-defendant, who was not responsible for the injury to Mr. DeFrancisco's client. We came to an accord after showing his firm that the use of the medical equipment, and not our device, were the cause of the injury. They were very open to EVIDENCE, unlike some firms, and their client benefitted from the cooperation. I refer cases to this firm and they are always handled without complaint and to great effect. If I had a relative who had a potential medical malpractice claim, this is the firm to whom i would refer them."

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.
