Experience & Knowledge

Jeff's experience & knowledge is a powerful combination; add his character & willingness to give you the best possible service & you have a formula that's hard to beat. If you ever find yourself in need of legal counsel - give yourself every opportunity to have a successful outcome. That opportunity ...for me is Jeff Downer. Jeff knows how to get the job done in an efficient timely manner - which minimizes the clients stress & expense.

Jeff Downer has been my attorney for almost 30 years

Jeff has represent me and my companies against Fortune 500 companies. We had to sue one to enforce a performance of a contract and he won the case hands down. He has represented me in personal lawsuits against property damage claims, and other minor cases, but big or small he has won them all! I w...ould recommend Jeff Downer highly.

I highly recommend Jeffrey Downer

Jeffrey Downer is a phenomenal attorney. He recently represented me on two matters and throughout the process of both cases, he was my stalwart advocate, relentless in ensuring that the issues were resolved in my favor. He was professional, available, and personable. I had never had to hire an att...orney before and I was a little nervous about it. Jeff was a fantastic guide. Even when I was ready to give up, Jeffrey negotiated a great resolution. I highly recommend him.
