I had the honor and privilege of working for, and with, Jeff for well over a year. Jeff's commitment to providing his client's the highest quality legal representation is truly unparalleled. Jeff's has the innate ability to grasp the tenor and approach necessary with each differing legal matter. He is excellent at listening to his clients, understanding their individual needs, and then working diligently to accommodate those needs. While Jeff is an outstanding lawyer, he is even a finer person and I believe this speaks volumes about his character. I am honored to call Jeff a friend and I owe much of my success as a lawyer to the lessons and advice given to me by Jeff over the years.
