Fast, Efficient, and Personable

Jeff defies all the lawyer jokes we've heard over the years. He gave me laser-guided precise help with my securities offerings. I'd never done one before and he worked within our budget, which grew as we grew. And we grew because we kept hiring people like Jeff for our team!

Chief Executive Officer

A lawyer with a business sense - It's a pleasure. I have worked with Mr. Marks on two separate startups and will work with him again of future such endeavors. He is quick, accurate, and understands the business objective of each project versus the myopic view some lawyers take toward business legal w...ork.

Great character, excellent expertise!

When I work on an M&A deal I want a smooth transaction handled competently where I am only pulled in when absolutely necessary. The last transaction Jeff and I worked on was a buy-side deal where each step in the process was executed flawlessly. As with all deals, there were some unforeseen wrinkle...s that threw everyone into a loop, but Jeff's management skills were put into motion and the process continued on schedule. I would recommend Jeff to anyone needing M&A assistance or general outside counsel work.

President

Jeffrey provided expert services for handling the redomociling of our Singapore corporation to a U.S. Delaware corporation. He provided all required counsel and documents to effect a smooth transaction and incorporation.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
