I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a Degree in Diplomatic History. I subsequently graduated from Santa Clara University School of Law in 2001. I started my legal career as a prosecutor working in the District Attorney’s office in San Mateo County where I worked from 2001 to 2007. In 2007, I joined the prestigious law firm of Ropers, Majeski, Kohn & Bentley to pursue the civil arena of law, wherein I handled all types of cases, including intellectual property, employment, real estate, and personal injury.
In 2008, I left to start my own practice doing criminal defense. Throughout my career, I have had tremendous success handling a multitude of serious cases, including sex assault, DUIs, assault, domestic violence, robbery, gang allegations, drug sales and possession, burglary, theft, and attempted murder. Successes include outright dismissals of felony and misdemeanor cases, defending a multi-count rape case to not guilty verdicts at a jury trial, getting clients drug and alcohol treatment programs instead of jail sentences, persuading Judges and Deputy District Attorneys to disregard prior strikes, earning multiple not guilty verdicts at trial, and getting cases thrown out based on illegal searches by the police.
Personally, I live in the Bay Area and am a dad to three boys, all of whom are active in sports. I enjoy coaching their teams. When I am not coaching or doing something with my boys, I like to play golf or ski.

I just saw Jeff Jackson get a criminal domestic violence case dismissed at the arraignment in San Mateo County. That is a rare and excellent outcome. Jeff is just a great lawyer.
