Jeff has handled just about every size and type of product liability and commercial litigation matter around -- from highly technical product liability claims of wrongful death and catastrophic injury involving automobiles and medical devices to mass torts and complex contract disputes. He also has extensive experience defending medical negligence cases and toxic torts. Regardless of the size of his client, from Fortune 500 to a small business, Jeff's commitment to resolution and total client satisfaction is foremost.

Don't be fooled by his youthful appearance, he is a veteran trial lawyer, having successfully taken cases to verdict in state and federal courts across the country, including Michigan, Illinois, Tennessee and South Carolina. He has won countless summary judgments and dismissals. His work often doesn't end after the jury has rendered a verdict, as he's ably handled the defense of appeals particularly on those occasions that his opponents didn't like the outcome at trial. He is also an equally shrewd negotiator, successfully mediating scores of matters, both big and small.

Jeff is very active in the community, providing pro bono services to the less fortunate in the Detroit metropolitan area and serving as one of the outside counsel to an Oakland County abused and battered women's shelter.
