Welcome.  I'm more than a lawyer - I'm a person. At least many of my clients find me more personable than some other lawyers. I chalk this up to my native Queens upbringing and accent. Seriously, though, I don't stand on ceremony. I talk straight, plain and to the point, and am occasionally too blunt, but on the other hand, sometimes, I just might make you laugh. Don't let this informality fool you though: I have attended some of the best schools in the country and worked for billion dollar companies. That said, deep inside, I'm still just very much a "regular" middle class kid from one of the modest "outer" boroughs - even if I have occasionlly walked through the halls of power. And I'm happy to provide this combination of sophisticated knowledge and homespun service to you, just ask. I look forward to speaking with you. Jeff
