Verified ClientConsulted Attorney Jeffrey M. Feuer 2023I recently had the privilege of engaging with Attorney Jeff Feuer for a landlord-tenant dispute and am compelled to commend his exceptional service. Having spent numerous years as a CPA in the consulting industry, I am familiar with the consulting realm. Hence, when I say Jeff's professionalism and expertise truly impressed me, it's from a standpoint of understanding high standards of service. In August 2023, I found myself amidst a challenging situation. I had unknowingly entered a sub-lease agreement with an real estate sales agent lacking legal authority. Consequently, I faced eviction within a week. My attempts to secure a refund from this agent were met with resistance, followed by the sales agent's baseless and defamatory emails sent to both my educational institution and employer, just trying to prevent me from bringing him to the court. It was in these trying circumstances that I reached out to Attorney Jeff Feuer. Jeff's methodical approach stood out immediately. He attentively absorbed all facets of my case and equipped me with a wealth of legal knowledge that even my own research hadn't unveiled. With his guidance, I penned a more legally sound demand letter. Jeff's swift intervention with a Cease and Desist Letter played a pivotal role in ensuring that the sales agent refrained from involving any third parties henceforth. Throughout the process, Jeff’s responses were prompt, always within 24 hours, ensuring I felt supported at every juncture. His sage advice enabled me to resolve the matter without resorting to court proceedings. The leasing agent eventually acceded to my refund demands, and the matter was amicably settled. I'd like to add that Jeff's fees were incredibly reasonable, especially considering the caliber of service rendered. Attorney Jeff Feuer's assistance was invaluable. I wouldn't hesitate to seek his expertise in the future, should the need arise.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
