Jeni Feinberg

I cannot give a more enthusiactic and supportive recommnedation for Jeni Feinberg. I was arrested and jailed with several Measure 11 Sexual Assault Charges. Needless to say, I was in a state of hopelessness at the possibility that I could potentially spend the rest of my life in prison. I knew I was... innocent but my accuser, who had a history of bringing these types of charges against men, had create and manipulated the evidence so much so that law enforcement had been completely duped into thinking I was guilty. My family and friends rallied together and began to search for the best representation they could find. In an exhaustive 2 week inquiry of potential lawyers, every single person or group came to the same conclusion; all roads led to Jeni Feinberg. I met with Jeni and my intention was to interview several lawyers that particular week, After only 5 minutes of our initial meeting; I knew that Jeni Feinberg was the best of all the potential lawyers. Additionally, my friends had spoken to at least 2 other lawyers from outside Southern Oregon who stated that we should interview with Jeni first before hiring them! Jeni Feinberg is so well respected that once it was announced that we had retained her as my attorney, my Fund Raising site overflowed with donations. In just about a week we raised about $20,000 and after the bail was reduced from $1 Million to $500,000, we raised the $50,000 Bail bond in a matter if hours. We ultimately raised $40,000 for attorney fees and had to return about $25,000 for the bail bond! People believed in me but they also trusted and believed that they were investing in the best council money could retain. In our 2nd meeting Mrs. Feinberg stated that she "had been thinking about my case over the weekend"! I then felt secured that I had chosen someone who would be devoted to my case and my cause. Initially I met with a Public Defender who told me it would take about 3 weeks to get a bail reduction hearing; Jeni got the hearing within only 4 days after I had engaged her as my lawyer! The judge wanted to attached a monitoring device to my bail release. Because of my unusual work schedule; Jeni fault vigorously with the Judge to have that requirement removed. Jeni and her investigative team thwarted at least 4 attempts by the accuser who attempted to either have me rearrested based on false evidence or to have the case reopened or me recharged. I felt fiercely protected! Jeni Feinberg and her investigative team were relentless in pursuing the truth and gathering the evidence for my case. And she seemed to either always be available when I needed to speak to her or at the least return my phone call or email inquiries within a very short time. I never felt forgotten or abandoned. And I know for a fact that all her clients felt the same way! When the evidence that they had gathered was presented to the District Attorney's Office; it became evident and so overwhelmingly obvious that the accuser was really the "criminal" in this case that the DA dismissed all the charges and expunged my record. I cannot say enough about Jeni. She was my counselor, advisor, listened to my frustration; kept me confident toward a positive outcome. I staked my life on Jeni Feinberg and I would suggest anyone to do the same. Justice is often a scary, uncertain, sometimes unfair and ,many times, a tragic experience. In order to give yourself the best opportunity to overcome these challenges toward a fair and just outcome; you need the best. Jeni Feinberg is the best! Even if the outcome is not ideal, I have no doubt that you will always feel that Jeni had given her full heart and knowledge to your case.
