Jeff's Excellent Service
Jeff's legal services were highly praised by Brandon Resch, who gave him a perfect 5-star rating. Brandon shared a positive experience with Jeff, explaining that he "got me out of a huge jam." The situation began when Brandon co-signed a lease for a friend who lived in a place he never resided in himself. After the lease ended, the landlord refused to remove Brandon from the lease, leading to a wrongful eviction on his record.
