This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Absolutely awesome!

Jeff not only researched my personal information, he provided me with pertinent actions to take prior to appearing in court. At my court date, Jeff was prompt, friendly, and very knowledgeable. He conducted himself professionally, and he displayed a great rapport with law enforcement, the prosecutor..., and the judge. When there was a snafu with my records, Jeff remained professional, and used the situation to better my outcome. I am beyond appreciative and grateful that I was referred to Jeff, and I will definitely refer others to him, if needed.

He is worth every penny.

As a mother, I feel as if Jeff defended my son as if it was his son before a judge. I couldn't have been more pleased! I am grateful for his perseverance. He kept me informed, returned my calls and texts and never made me feel I was burdening him. Do not hesitate to hire this lawyer, no regrets! No...t over-priced and kept his original fee.

Thank you Jeffrey for the legal representation you provided me. You explained to me everything i needed to know on the case from day one. The times we talked i was very comfortableand confident that you would take care of me. And i was right that day of the trial I was shocked on the outcome of the ...case. I am very, very great full for your help. Thank You!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

"........on all four counts, we find the defendant not guilty...."

I'm a convicted felon and was looking at some very serious charges. Jeff, was actually the second attorney retained on my matter. After nearly three years (on bond) of waiting, I was finally afforded my day in court. Jeff had diligently prepared, and had done extensive leg work to decipher through th...e fabricated allegations. Upon implementing my strategic defense, against 4 counts of class X Felonies; (I was facing a minimum of 24 years of prison time) the jury had rendered a verdict of not guilty on all counts. Hey Jeff, thanks again!!!!!!!!

Fantatic Lawyer

Can honestly say Jeff is one of the best attorneys I have come across in Chicago. He did exactly what he said would do when he said he would do it. I would trust Jeff completely....he did not sugar coat anything and always had our best interest at heart.

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.
