Excellent representation

From the initial consultation to the last hearing, Jeff was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had about my case. He followed through with everything he said he would do and I'm pleased to say his diligence paid off. I'm glad I had Jeff as my attorney, because he did an excellent ...job handling my case.

Great Attorny to work with

Great lower to get along with. Had a plan from the start and kept on it until a deal was made beyond what we were even hoping for. He kept me updated and informed about what was going on the whole time.

Very Professional

Working with Jeff on my case was a very comfortable experience. He was very clear in explaining my options to me and how we could best handle my situation. I felt confident that Jeff got me the best possible outcome for my scenario. He was always very easy to reach and answered all my questions to my... satisfaction. I highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a knowledgable attorney that will work for the interest of his clients.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
