Great attorney ✅

In simple words this lawyer Jeffrey gets the job done, he is the best in the business he knows what he is doing, he has great strategic plans to always win. He is amazing at explaining the whole court lingo for those of us who don't really understand, he is all about seeing his clients being satisfie...d to the fullest, he's always available for any questions and his just the best at what he does. Worth every penny he charges he is the real deal.

This was a difficult case made more complicated by opposing counsel who fabricated every conceivable roadblock. The delays did not work, ultimately, and ended up costing their clients a huge amount of money. During this process, our clients were frustrated by the roller coaster of litigation. I encouraged them to stay the course and am so humbled that they listened. A fabulous outcome. Thank you again for your faith in my firm.

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

It 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.

Very Efficient

Even though I met Jeffrey in stressful circumstances, I am still delighted to have met him; and I will be coming back if/when needed. Jeffrey acted appropriately at every step of the case. When working with him we never dwelled on worst-case scenarios, but they were still acknowledged. In turn, we sa...ved a lot of time, energy, and stress by focusing on the current status of the case. Jeffrey's years of experience had him predict the outcome of the case way before the end of it. Jeffrey's confidence in his work is very reassuring and helpful during such stressful times. Working with him was very judgment-free, and I felt comfortable discussing intimate details about the case with him. Not only is he an amazing lawyer but an amazing personality! After working with him I could never imagine myself failing to recommend him to others!

A perfect outcome for a person with no experience with the legal system. She will be starting 2024 with a clear head. We had a great dialog, throughout.

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...ready had a game plan strategy for my case and im beyond excited to move counsels and work with Jeffrey. I would highly recommend to anyone seeking counsel in criminal or family law matters. He will get the job done effective and efficiently. Thanks again Jeffrey.

Neil is a dream client: honest, concerned about the big picture, and considers advice well. As lawyers, our job is to create alternatives. It is the client who ultimately makes the choice.

This 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 !

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1998.

Private reproval, public disclosure issued in CA, 1998

updated on 02/06/2010

Private 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 06/17/2015

A 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.”
