Excellent Representation

We retained Jeff to defend our company in a construction litigation matter. He was responsive, knowledgeable of the issues and kept us informed throughout the process. Jeff provided practical, clear options that resulted in a favorable outcome for our company. His character is unquestionable and he ...is clearly respected among his peers. We would not hesitate to refer him to others, or hire him in the future if we need legal counsel.

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.
