Jeffery went above and beyond during the COVID-19 epidemic
Jeffery went above and beyond during the COVID-19 epidemic. I had filed a restraining order and had a false restraining order filed against me. Jeffery put my mind at ease during a very scary time not only with my living situation but also with the pandemic. He showed up to court with me over five t...

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.”
