Posted by Thomas | November 5, 2025 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Know what you’re getting into n

Was quite confident and responsive from the start, but ultimately did produce anywhere near the results he promised. Seemed to have a very poor understanding of the law and changed arguments several times. Eventually I lost all confidence in his abilities to defend me and decided to retain a differen...t lawyer. When I informed him of this, he because angry and hung up on me. I felt this was a low level of professionalism. Would not recommend based on both attitude and overall competency.

I've never been hired by (or hired to represent) anyone named Thomas. Perhaps this person is thinking of a different attorney?

Worse lawyer ever

He fail to defend someone I knew he brought up the worse points in the case never even tired to get them a lower sentence, kept talking through the whole case, kept making the client laugh.

I respectfully disagree, of course, but this isn't the legally appropriate time or place to have that conversation.

Jeff Szczewski

Awesome Lawyer. Took all the stress out of having my case and took care of everything and did an incredible job. Highly Highly recommended. When I met with him, I could clearly see his knowledge and understanding of everything he did. His arguments on my case were well thought out and executed. I can...not thank him enough.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Jeffrey is a proven litigator and is unafraid of taking complex cases to trial. He recently won an impressive "not guilty" jury verdict on an extremely serious drug-related felony. In addition to his trial skills, he is an incredibly valuable ally for anyone facing OWI charges. Jeffrey is quite skilled at OWI defense, and is even NHTSA certified in performing standardized field sobriety tests. If I needed an attorney, I would trust Attorney Szczewski to handle my case."
