I like the guy.

I have used Jeff in three criminal cases. A very likable guy. He is very, very reasonably priced and once you are established with him, he's even more so. He represented me in a DV case for a ridiculously low amount. If you don't have any priors, for example a first DUI, he's perfect. You'll get adeq...uate representation for and extremely reasonable cost. However, it's hit or miss getting ahold of him, and he's either on it or off. I felt I could have been better informed of the resulting legal consequences of taking a plea on my last case, and it has has a profoundly negative impact on my life. But I'm also to blame for getting myself in the situation. Like I said, I have used him in my defense in 3 criminal cases and he was never judgmental and was always understanding. He's a neat guy and honest. I do not care for his junior associate, Eric, though. Make sure when you call you get Jeff.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2023.

Resignation in Lieu of Discipline issued in WA, 2023

updated on 05/31/2023

Ineligible to practice law in Washington. No longer a member of the WSBA due to resignation while disciplinary proceedings were pending. Not eligible to re-apply for admission.

Suspension issued in WA, 2022

updated on 05/11/2022

This means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Reprimand issued in WA, 2016

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
