Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have had an opportunity to co counsel clients with Jeff, to litigate against him, and have used his services as a mediator. Jeff brings a depth of substantive knowledge to each matter along which when coupled with his very practical demeanor, facilitates excellent results for his clients and maximizes their return. From a professional perspective, I find him to be a gentlemen and of the highest ethical level.
