About Jeffrey
Biography
When I began practicing law in 1995, I dedicated my practice to zealously helping my clients receive the full damage awards they are due. I am not afraid to stand up to the large insurance companies and their defense teams. I'm a confident negotiator, and I'm not afraid to take your case all the way to court when the insurance companies don't want to fairly compensate you for your injuries.
When you are injured in an auto accident, when a dog attacks you and you need a dog bite lawyer, or when you are hurt due to someone else's negligence, it is important that you hire a seasoned trial lawyer to defend your rights at the negotiating table and in court for your personal injury claim.
