Q. When did you work with this lawyer?
2018- until now. Worked closely through the Conservatorship clinic of the Legal aid society of San Diego

Q. Please rate this lawyer on the following:

I went to Jeff first for any uncommon problem and he always had the right approach.

Legal Analysis: Excellent

Jeff has a good understanding of that balance and advises clients expertly in weighing both of those needs.

Communication Skills: Excellent

He is clear and concise in his analysis and communicates it effectively to non-lawyers.

Ethics and Professionalism: Excellent

Jeff is a retired Military officer, and he adheres to the highest code of ethics he learned from the military.
