After his first year of studies, he was offered an academic scholarship to its business school, Taking advantage of any and all learning, he asked for and was granted a leave of absence from the law school. Jeffrey completed his MBA in 1977 and resumed his legal studies. He graduated from law school in 1979 and was admitted to the bar later that year.

He’s able to resolve complicated problems effectively, both in terms of the relationship of the parties involved and the costs that are spent. When settlement’s can’t be resolved in a boardroom type setting, he’s comfortable moving to the courtroom to aggressively defend his clients and he fights tirelessly to get them the results they deserve.
