My MISSION is to be respected by my clients as a professional who does his best to be a competent, prepared, organized, conscientious, loyal, affordable, and caring legal advocate.
My GOAL is to create satisfied clients by providing sensitive counsel through the various parts of the legal system. I attempt to make what could be a scary experience a positive, unintimidating one as inexpensively as possible without jeopardizing a case. I take pride in my ability to represent a diverse clientele in various realms of problem prevention and conflict resolution (based upon being a trained Mediator and CLASP Creator), primarily for Family/Juvenile Law and Criminal Defense (as well as Entertainment, Civil Litigation, Estate Planning/Administration, and Unemployment Compensation Law). When possible, you and I will work as a team to try to settle issues without the stress of trial, expense of depositions, unpredictability of court, etc. If your matter involves an area of law with which I am not familiar, I can direct you to a colleague with the necessary legal expertise; my Officer/Chair Positions in various Bar Associations and other contacts have proven to be very helpful. In the event of your having limited resources, I can even act as a “legal coach,” advising on an as-needed/a la carte/unbundled services basis for a reduced fee/no retainer. I am proud to have long ago earned “Distinguished BV” Martindale-Hubbell and “Superb 10.0” www.AVVO.com ratings plus BBB Approval several years ago. I even make old-fashioned house calls if needed.

Mr. Pollock was invaluable in helping me through a very difficult time. After my daughter passed away, I was unable to see my two grandchildren because their father wouldn't allow it.

Excellent Experience
Jeff was great to work with in handling my divorce. On our first meeting he mapped out the entire process for us- and did a great job of managing our expectations. Divorces are no fun, but Jeff made the process painless. Highly recommend.
