About Jeffrey

I grew up in a large NAVY family.  My father flew out of Tampa's MacDill Air Force Base in the sixties and I fell in love with the Tampa Bay community.  After law school at our nation's first law school, William and Mary, I came back to Florida to pursue my legal career with a passion for helping out individuals and families.  I really enjoy the waterfront lifestyle here.  I am a marathon swimmer and live aboard a 48 foot yacht in a marina at Clearwater Beach, Florida. I am so blessed to have a strong and long serving staff that makes client communication a top priority. My greatest joy is to work alongside my clients to help them plan for the future.  It is amazing to see the relief that clomes from a successful conclusion, whether it be a recovery from a bad stockbroker, the completion of an estate or the preparation of an estate plan that fits the client's circumstances with precision.
