Trustworthy Expert

Jeff developed wills, trusts and medical powers of attorney for my family. My wife and I found him to be completely trustworthy and very highly skilled as an estate planner. He was also able to coordinate effectively with our financial advisor. We separately engaged Jeff to update the plan. Jeff ...also did a great job of setting up an S Corp for a consulting business I established while in transition between regular jobs. I would heartily recommend Jeff to anyone in need of help with estate planning or small business legal matters.

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.
