Jeff is an absolutely fantastic attorney. He has the amazing ability to comprehend the most complex legal concepts, and distill them down to make them accessible to judges, juries, clients, and other attorneys. That's one of the most valuable traits you can hope for in a criminal defense lawyer. Jeff is very well respected in the criminal justice system, and has a reputation for working hard to achieve the best results for his clients. He doesn't back down from a fight! I call on Jeff for advice in complex matters, and never fail to come away from those conversations with insight and encouragement. I consider him one of my mentors, as he helped train me when I began my practice 11 years ago. You will be in excellent hands if you hire Jeff. I endorse him without hesitation.

I endorse this lawyer. While I wasn't opposing counsel in court, I observed him in trial on a domestic violence case and learned so much from his skillful expertise. He had a difficult case with a difficult client and he prevailed. Great job Jeff.

I have known Jeff over 20 years, previously working with him as a public defender. Recently, I consulted with him and was reminded of his dedication and skill in criminal defense. He shared his encyclopedic knowledge of criminal law and offered common sense advice on how to achieve a great outcome for my client. I highly recommend Jeff for anyone facing criminal charges. He is a powerful advocate to have by your side before the criminal justice system.

I endorse this lawyer. Jeff is a briliant, personable lawyer. He and I started our legal careers in a rural District Court with about two hundred files each. Jeff treated every client with respect and dignity, and put his heart and soul into his (difficult) work. Today, he is the first lawyer I recommend when I refer a serious case from Seattle. He is also always willing to help his colleagues. I recommend Jeff in any area of Criminal Law. You could not make a better decision when you or a loved one finds himself facing ANY criminal problem.

He's smart, practical and strategic. You're not going to do better.
