Great Lawyer
"from felony to nothing" I absolutely cannot recommend Jeffrey enough. My family has known him more than 20 years. He came through for me in a huge way. Always took my calls, no matter what time and day it was. Interviewed and prepared witnesses, insured my freedom.. Believed in Mr. Jeffrey

Replied last January 27, 2024It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jimmy, who was facing prison time . We collaborated well - reviewed all evidence, reconstructed "the Crime" and demonstrated that he was not the perpetrator. A great weight was lifted off him and his family. Thank you for your trust in us.

An amazing person. Punctual, accessible, highly intelligent.
I had an amazing consultation with Jeffrey, I have been in a paternal case for over 2 years with my current counsel and not moving anywhere. Just being billed. After speaking to Jeffrey, it was clear he’s a go getter attorney who has his clients best interests in mind. In a small amount of time we al...

Highly Recommended
Not having much experience in the criminal world, I didn’t know where to turn when confronted with a legal problem for a family member.

Case Dismissed !
Jeffrey fought tooth and nail to win this case for me. He dealt with a number of DAs and a senior supervisor in a very hostile courthouse but stayed focused and never lost his cool . This case could have effected my work , family , and immigration status. He understood the seriousness from the jump...

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.”
