I am sorry you feel that way. We did everything we could to please you over a long period of time. As for the contract my office has with Merced County, it is no secret that the Court appoints me to represent some defendants who cannot afford a lawyer in felony matters. I am not able to pick these cases and defendants cannot choose me. Those people are then ordered by the Court to reimburse the County for legal fees depending on income levels.
"I referred a case to Jeff after getting the client’s sentence reversed on appeal. Jeff did a terrific job and got the client a significant sentence reduction. Thank you, Jeff, for your hard work!"
"I have known Jeff for almost a decade. I have had the opportunity of working on the same case as counsel for a co-defendant. I have witnessed his skills in court and I can state that he is an effective and seasoned court room litigator. He is, undoubtedly, one of the top criminal defense attorneys in Merced County."
