Family 40%

The Collaborative Family Law Process is an alternative to traditional divorce. This is an out of court process to assist parties in reaching a tailored agreement that addresses the interests of both spouses and the family, controlled by the parties.

40%
Divorce and Separation 25%

A contested divorce is the last process that should be considered, but is sometimes necessary. If so, in over 30 years of practice, I have represented both husbands and wives in simple and complex divorce cases.

Child Custody 15%

Child custody cases are extremely emotional. I have experience assisting parents resolve child custody issues in and outside of court.

Marriage and Prenuptials 10%

Though no one getting married is thinking of divorce or death, a Prenuptial Agreement can protect your assets should the marriage fail or in the event of death.

Wills and Living Wills 10%

A Will is required to direct distribution of assets upon a person's death. A Living Will and Healthcare Power of Attorney allows a person to direct physicians to provide care or enable others to make healthcare decisions.

Knowledgable/Responsive/Calming

Jeff handled a collaborative divorce proceeding for me. Jeff was highly responsive, explained the process well, and helped me understand my rights while also helping the collaborative process along.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Got the job done, could have listened more

Plus: Worked on my divorce and was good at getting things moving along after being stalled by another lawyer. Minus: Never worked for me, he worked for the 'deal' like a real estate agent. After talking to the other party's lawyer he put things in my divorce decree that were not to my benefit. When... asked for a counter offer for spousal support he gave no opinion.

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.
