• Member, The Mediation Society of San Francisco
• Member, Solano County Bar Association

Since 1994, Jeff has mediated and arbitrated in excess of 2,000 cases. In his 34+ years of practicing law representing both plaintiffs and defendants, he has handled personal injury cases including uninsured and underinsured motorist,
insurance matters, including coverage and bad faith in addition to product liability and asbestos litigation. For the past 12 years, he has specialized in medical malpractice and premises liability cases. The first case Jeff mediated
was almost 20 years ago because his opposing counsel said he would make a great mediator, so he asked Jeff to mediate a few of his cases. Since then, he has been just as passionate about the ADR process as he is about trying cases.

Jeff commented, ''the reason why I serve as a neutral is that I get a great sense of satisfaction in helping people resolve disputes. Being in the trenches has allowed me to see all angles of a dispute, I truly care about people and I will never let a case go, I always stay with it''. Those who have worked with Jeff describe him as tenacious, sharp, and a well-prepared neutral who has an excellent read on people.
