DUI Arrest

Jeff did a fantastic job representing me with my legal issues. He worked with me to obtain all the important facts of my case, and negotiated the absolute best possible outcome I could have hoped for. Because of the professionalism, and care that he showed for my personal wellbeing, I would strongl...y recommend Jeff Veitch as The Attorney to Hire.

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.
