Resourceful, reliable, and trustworthy attorney

I have had the pleasure of knowing Jeff for over 12 years and the opportunity to see his legal skills in action first hand. Jeff has an intuitive sense of how to help business and individuals, which make him an excellent attorney. He is resourceful, reliable, and trustworthy. His vast repertoire ...of experience and knowledge are an asset to anyone fortunate enough to work with him. His legal acumen spans areas such as business law, estate planning, transactions, contracts, probate, environmental, real estate, and oil and gas. This depth and breadth of legal knowledge and sound judgment ensures that he always provides the best guidance and direction for his clients. He has the reputation of always getting the job done or the deal closed on time and within budget. If you need legal assistance, I would highly recommend sitting down and having a meaningful conversation with Jeff at your earliest opportunity.

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer.Jeff Fort and I were partners for approximately 20 years in the Real Estate Practice Group at the Toledo office of Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick. During much of that time I was the Chair of the practice group. Jeff was our "go to guy" on environmental matters in our transactional practice. He is a diligent, knowledgeable and well organized lawyer who takes a practical approach to achieving his client's goal when it is possible to do so."

  • 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.
