Life saving attorney

Jeff has been the best lawyer I have ever dealt with.after being recommended to him by a family friend he has been nothing but the best communicator and is very good with explaining the process of things and getting the best results, personally after facing a serious charge I was looking at 10 years ...minimum and almost lost hope but Ieff kept me in good hands.. he managed to get me probation and everything would be off my record after!! He saved my life. Even the judge commented on how good of a negotiation he did with the prosecutor to get me that deal I am forever grateful for his services

Incredible lawyer

To say Jeff is a great lawyer would be an understatement. The first thing he did was give me his cell number if I were to need him. That was not just for show, he always answered my calls and texts right away. He was hired on an old case and and did more for me than anyone else had. He was always hon...est about the "what ifs," but because of the lawyer he is, none of those possibilities came to be. He fought tooth and nail and because of him I am no longer dealing with this case and am free of probation, all of it. If I had a different lawyer I know my case wouldn't have ended this quickly or this smoothly. 10 out 10 would recommend!

Best Criminal Lawyer

Jeff is awesome. I couldn’t have done it without him. Very thorough at what he does and never missed a beat. Hopefully I never need him again but if so I would hire him as my lawyer in a heartbeat. Wish I could use him for other legal issues as well.

Finally a Trial Lawyer

Not my first rodeo. Hired Jeff because a friend said he was good. The deal they offered me was terrible so Jeff got ready for trial. Day of trial Jeff was ready to go. Prosecutor wasn't. Long story short my felony charge was dropped. All because Jeff isn't afraid to go to trial and knows how to... win.

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.
