Do yourself a favor

Jeff has been my attorney for several court cases. He has always been fair, affordable, told me what to expect, and has delivered on promises. He has been more than fair with billing. I highly recommend him!

Litigation lawyer | Jul 10

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Jeff since our days together in high school in the 1980's. I have also watched Jeff take on extremely complex cases and achieve incredible results on behalf of his clients. One of his recent victories at the appellate level resulted in a significant victory for his clients. Our office has also worked with Jeff on other civil litigation matters, so not only do I know him professionally, but also personally. He's a wonderful lawyer whom I readily endorse."

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.
