review

I have worked with Mr. Befort ongoing as a client since 2009. When I became involved in a very complicated legal case, Jeff was there for me immediately. As soon as I contacted him he made himself available to meet with me personally to address my needs. He stepped in and very capably and effectiv...ely managed every aspect of my case. His vast experience, time spent researching legal precedence, and knowledge of law was evident every step of the way as he guided my case through the court system. He kept me informed and involved every step of the way. Jeff takes a client centered approach by explaining all the different outcomes that can potentially result in a way that his client can understand. I appreciate the great attorney/ client trust Jeff strives to provide his clients.
