Replied last January 27, 2024This was a case, as many are, referred by another attorney. Karen was being victimized by an unscrupulous landlord. No one else believed in her case, but we prevailed. She is now living ( with her son) peacefully for the first time in a year, in the apartment where she has faithfully paid rent for decades. We answered ready for trial - and that was that !

He would go out of his way to accommodate my family and me to meet up on the weekend to go over our case with no rush. I am beyond grateful and satisfied with Je...

Replied last January 27, 2024A victory after trial: Our client's case had more twists and turns than a mountain road. Her ex accused her of many things and then used every opportunity to delay things. The bottom line: she is now living with their children, unharmed and in a healthier community.

Professional & Compassionate and Knowledgeable
Jeff was referred to me on Friday and was even willing to meet with me in his office on a Sunday to help resolve my case as quick as he could. We spent hours going over the details of my case and never once did I feel like I was a client, I felt as if I was speaking to a long-time friend. Jeff was in...

Replied last January 27, 2024No body arrives at a lawyer's office because things are going smoothly. We try to turn that around immediately and give a long view game plan as quickly as possible. In this case - it worked well. A great client makes the difference.

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1998.
Private reproval, public disclosure issued in CA, 1998
updated on 02/06/2010Private reproval, public disclosure means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar warns the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
Public reproval with/duties issued in CA, 1997
updated on 06/17/2015A censure or reprimand issued by the Supreme Court or the State Bar Court that is not a matter of public record unless imposed after the initiation of formal disciplinary proceedings. No period of suspension is imposed. The reproval may be imposed with duties or conditions.
Jeffrey’s comment:
“The State Bar release stated that, during the course of a civil case wherein I WAS THE CLIENT, suing another lawyer on a breach of contract claim, a $250 discovery sanction had not been paid. In fact, it had but the recipient (an office employee of the opposing side) kept the cash, and did not turn it over to his employer. FURTHER: there were NO CLIENT money or liberties involved, the public was not affected, and the case amicably settled. The employee died of a heart attack soon thereafter.”
