I've been mentoring tenants' rights lawyers for a while, and Jeff is one of the strongest I've ever seen. Even as a law student, he was debunking landlords' false allegations, winning Rent Board hearings, making winning arguments in court, ...

and standing up to landlords and their attorneys. As an attorney, Jeff uses his ingenuity, listening skills, and work ethic to reach simple resolutions before bringing a lawsuit. If you need a knowledgeable, fearless, and caring lawyer who will fight for your rights, Jeff is as tenacious and passionate as they come.

I cannot thank Jeff enough for believing in me and helping me keep my home… he not only won my rent board hearing, not only caught my landlord lying on the record, but he got them to throw out their bogus eviction lawsuit! I cannot thank Jeff enough.
