This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Victim of the FBI entrapment

I was a victim of the crude FBI set-up. To make things worse got some incompetent attorney who completely screwed me. Thank G-d for Jeff. He calmed me and my wife down, got things under control. Overall had great experience. Very caring, professional highly recommend. Not too many people like him.

The Best Attorney I Have Ever Hired

Jeff and Rachel helped me navigate a difficult case with extreme knowledge of the law and professionalism. Jeff was able to negotiate favorable terms for me and stop any potential prosecution. The Ifrah legal team is the best legal representation I have ever had. If you need legal defense, call Jef...f!!

Client

When I found myself being charged with crimes that I did not commit, Jeff willingly took up the case because it was the right thing to do. He worked closely with me to explain each step of the court process, give new information as soon as he got it, and followed up after the process was over. I kn...ow that Jeff usually only handles high profile cases that one can read about in the news, but he did this in his own time for very little money because he is a moral man. Jeff is hands down the most knowledgeable and skillful lawyer that I have ever met, and would certainly recommend him to anyone that is able to fit into his schedule.

Intelligent and Hard working Attorney

I can only provide a great recommendation. Jeff and his team truly listened to our needs and responded not only to criminal charges but also a hearing at a local University, where my son attends. After speaking with several attorneys in the DC area, I discovered that not many law firms could handle ...the difficult and delicate situation, that would have altered my son's future and education if not handled properly. Jeff is experienced, knowledgeable, and responds to all questions and concerns in a timely manner. Jeff and his team developed a positive relationship with both the prosecution and the members of the University and kept things on an as even keel as possible and resolve the matter quickly. I highly recommend Jeff and I am grateful to have found him.
