I handle all aspects of divorce, paternity and same-sex marriage/domestic partnership dissolution, including child custody and visitation, child and spousal support, complex asset division and business valuation.
I represent clients in all stages of divorce proceedings, from inception, through settlement or trial, and post-judgment. I approach each case from a settlement perspective, and I have an aptitude for aggressive litigation, when necessary.
As part of my committment to the legal profession and my community, I served 6 terms as chairperson of the Multicultural Bar Alliance of Southern California, an affiliation of minority bar associations working to promote diversity in the legal profession and the community, and I am a past co-president of the Lesbian & Gay Lawyers Association of Los Angeles. I am a certified Collaborative Law practitioner and a member of both the Los Angeles Collaborative Family Law Association and the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals.
I am an active member of the Los Angeles County and Beverly Hills Bar Associations and a past board member of the Entertainment Publicists Professional Society in New York and Los Angeles.
Prior to practicing law, I enjoyed a successful, 10-year career in entertainment, Internet and technology public relations and marketing in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York.

Crystal Boultinghouse, Divorce and separation Attorney on Apr 24, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. i had the pleasure of litigating against Jeffrey in a very high conflict child custody case. Jeffrey was professional, effective, diligent, and well humored despite our clients' heavily litigated disagreements.
R. Bell, Divorce and separation Attorney on Feb 18, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Bollinger is top-notch. He's knowledgeable, professional, and a zealous advocate. I highly recommend.
Ty Supancic, Family Attorney on Sep 21, 2011
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I have had only one case with Mr. Bollinger, but it went smoothly and I believe the parties were spared unnecessary legal fees. While the matter was a bit protracted, we avoided court and spared the parties the trauma that accompanies litigation. For the sake of the parties' child, I'm glad Mr. Bollinger was selected by opposing party. The parties were able to conclude their matter with dignity, at low cost, and without destorying their child or the relationship that will forever bind them togethre as mother and father.
