Case Dismissed!

Jeff represented me professionally and quickly in a case with an irresponsible and unreasonable claimant. Jeff kept this case from getting out of control and delivered a most favorable result. Looking at the entire case he saw and argued the best tactics for the best outcome.

Amazing on defending firearms and drug offenses

Amazing. Cleaned a prior firearm felony from my record while a new felony drug offense was pending. Kept me out of jail and earned a misdemeanoron in my new case. Thanks for your hard work , Jeff

Jeff was Excellent!!! Had a DUI reduced to Impaired. Worthy every Penny. Do exactly what Jeff recommends you to do prior to your case and you should be Golden.

Thorough and caring.

Jeff listened to my concerns and desires for an action plan. He was thorough and to the point and I never felt like he was wasting my time or money. The outcome of my situation played out exactly the way I wanted it to.

Criminal defense lawyer | Mar 21

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"22 years of practicing exclusively criminal law is Jeff's huge advantage over many part time defense attorneys. His knowledge of both the law and procedure is excellent and evident in his pro bono contributions. John Stecco has been sending him clients for years with excellent results. His single client review to date is excellent. READ IT! Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with him ASAP."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
