Client Reviews
Linda-Rae Gruenewald June 17, 2020
Truly has your best interest.. not about the all mighty buck... I am very impressed with Jeff. He has walked with me through some difficult times. He has always had my best interest at heart. Going things with an ex-husband can be very difficult. I am NOT savvy with things like court or even computer things. He has helped me understand, by explaining and I don't feel judged. It has been a long journey 2 years ago and here I am again. This person I can trust, and not feel like it is all about the money. He has a great spirit and soul.. whom I call MY Favorite Lawyer...
