Great Representation!

Jeff helped me through some very stressful and complicated corporate litigation. He is knowledgeable and very competent with a wonderful bedside manner. I have been using him for my corporate matters for years.

Corproate Law done well!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Restored our faith in Lawyers.

As a young General Contracting company, we occasionally run across serious problems with certain clients, who have no intention to do business honestly, often in the past we've been force to attain Attorney services, paying tens of thousands in legal fees but never getting results, losing hundreds o...f thousands of dollars in cases, this left us very discouraged, not seeing the Justice we deserve. We felt our Attorneys in the past, just never did their homework enough to win the cases that should had been won, It was seemed not just having that plaque with a Law Degree or Credentials on the wall was enough, we needed someone who, not only knew the law inside and out, but we needed someone who had the experience and a good reputation. Since having Jeff, those negative feelings are gone. Jeff has represented us since 2011, in cases, concerning tax issues, breaches in contract and frivolous charges toward my company, not only has he proven a effective lawyer, but when we work on a case, he doesn't present the law as complicated he helps understand in layman terms, the legal process, this helps to effectively put together a solid case, so when presenting a case in front of a Mediator, Arbitrator or Judge, this gives us the advantage, being so well prepared, something I never experienced with previous Attorneys. I rate this Client/Attorney relationship very high. It's a pleasure working with Jeff as our representing Attorney.
