Verified ClientHired Attorney 2023-2024Jeffrey has been a great help in what seems like a never ending court battle. You can tell he truly puts people first, and it speaks volumes, at least it did to me. I?ve had legal representation once before which caused me to really be skeptical when finding one to trust, I?m glad I made the right decision by choosing him to help guide me along the way.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2023-2024To preface, upon meeting Jeffrey, every attorney I consulted with up to this point, in short, said I held no chance of obtaining a 50/50 possession and access schedule of a child under the age of 2 years old. During our initial consultation, Jeffrey thoroughly read through my case documentation and made it a point to understand everything up to the present time and my objectives and noted more or less that "while I can't guarantee 50/50, there is a chance and it's something we can fight for". Shortly after retaining Jeffrey, his team swiftly emailed opposing counsel and, after a couple of days, helped me regain possession and access (which was initially not being honored by opposing counsel). My case suffered from multiple failed mediations, pushed court dates, and difficulties with opposing counsel, but Jeffrey and his team prepared me for all of it. They helped me take all of the necessary steps to increase my chances of acquiring a 50/50 in my case and leveraged nearly, if not a year's worth of text and pictures I provided as exhibits for when we went to court. Jeffrey exhibited astuteness and prowess during litigation, exposing holes in the opposing counsel's case, leading to no reason why there shouldn't be a 50/50 custody order. With the utmost confidence, if it weren't for Jeffrey and his team, I wouldn't have received an order by a judge for 50/50 possession and access of a child under the age of 2 years old. All of this is to say that Jeffrey is exceptional and is someone that I'll hire again for all of my family law needs.
