Over 30 Years of Experience

There is no substitute for having experience both in and out of the court. You deserve to work with a seasoned defender.

I retained Jeff’s services upon being charged with DUI, attempting to elude and reckless driving. With Jeff at the helm, it was pleaded down with some of the more serious charges dropped. The outcome was more than satisfactory. Furthermore, at the time of my case, I had been living in California for almost a year. Jeff worked it out so that I didn’t even have to return to Atlanta to face the judge. He entered my plea in absentee, submitted the necessary paperwork and that was that. It’s all behind me. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my case and would not hesitate to recommend Jeff to anyone.
