Be Careful

I hired Jeff to handle my divorce with equitable distribution issues. There were several red flags with him early on and I felt like I had to really watch what he was doing. I ended up getting a second, third and forth opinion and they all agreed that my case was being mishandled. I had to retain ...new counsel and lost my $3200 retainer. My overall impression of Jeff is that while he is well versed and knowledgeable in the law, he is not as gifted nor does he have any interest in doing the work needed to actually audit assets/liabilities and to crunch numbers to come up with a fair equitable distribution which was at the heart of my case. Instead, he would rather negotiate at all cost in general terms. I have found in dealing with my new attorney that there was so much that Jeff was overlooking and I would have lost so much more than my retainer had I stuck it out with him.

As always, I respect the views of my clients. In this situation, it must be added that I truly did not do a good job of getting my client to choose/clarify her/our path/strategy/tack/mindset. Had I gotten her to stop being "wishy-washy" about "I don't want to waste money/energy fighting my husband" vs. "I want to litigate/battle him to the nth degree," then we would not have parted company. I made no secret that I prefer to resolve issues rather than exacerbate problems (if for no other reason than not incurring avoidable fees and costs). She ultimately chose to follow a more aggressive path and chose an excellent shark for that purpose. I wish her and her new counsel great success since my former client deserves the best outcome possible.

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.

excellent attorney

Mr. Pollock was very professional and efficient in handling my landlord/tenant case. His ability to effectively present my case was greatly appreciated.

Gets the job done

I have hired Mr. Pollock twice. The first time he handled by divorce, child custody and marital agreement. He was knowledgeable, professional, kind, detailed and prompt. The second time my mother and I hired him to handle a deed transfer. Again, Mr. Pollock was knowledgeable and very prompt. He a...lways returns calls right away and emails within a day or two. He is cooperative and understanding of family situations. I would highly recommend Mr. Pollock to anyone.

Estate Planning Documents

I happened to be referred to Attorney Pollock in April to draft my will, durable financial power of attorney, health care POA and living will. In spite of what the most recent review of him said, I trusted ALL of the other reviews. When I recently retained his services, he did exactly what I as...ked of him and more! One particularly refreshing part of his law practice was his written fee agreement and verbal explanation to me when we first met that he always refunds any unused portion of a retainer if any unfortunate parting of the ways is due to some error or omission by him. He also thoroughly reviewed all of my document needs and gave me multiple options which we discussed at great length so that he could be as cost-and-fee-efficient as possible. I found him to be extremely ethical. His knowledge and experience were invaluable. I was also extremely pleased with his responsiveness and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Attorney Pollock and agree with the almost- unanimous endorsements by MANY current and former clients.
