"Jeff is a hardworking lawyer and a good guy. He is social and approchable, but tough. Whalley will put his ex-hockey player toughness to work for you. I endorse this lawyer."
"Jeff is not only a great lawyer but an amazing guy. I refer clients to him with confidence because I know he will do everything he can to help them regardless of the case. He is very quick on his feet and knows how to find ways to help his clients in many situations. He works hard for his clients and it shows because many of his clients end up becoming his friends as well. That alone really says a lot about an attorney."
