He has secured millions of dollars in class action settlements on behalf of thousands of individuals.

Currently, Jeff is co-lead counsel for the Plaintiffs in a 27,000-member class-action in Massachusetts Superior Court involving allegations that a home heating oil supplier was diluting its fuel in ways that made it less valuable and harmful to customers’ equipment. Jeff’s keen attention to detail, investigative skills and exceptional legal writing and oral advocacy allowed the plaintiffs and class to obtain an exceptional evidentiary record, which led to certification of the case as a class. Jeff is simultaneously prosecuting claims on behalf of the Class in Federal Court alleging that the heating oil supplier’s insurance companies are unreasonably refusing to pay for the property damage the diluted heating oil caused.

He has represented clients in Federal Courts and before arbitrators and mediators, the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (“MCAD”) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

In addition to his results and legal skills, Jeff prides himself on his personal relationships with his clients. Jeff takes the time to get to know his clients, understand their goals, and learn about their personal and family lives and how those factors might be impacted by litigation decisions. These relationships are not only a sense of pride for Jeff, but they allow him to better tailor legal strategies to his clients’ needs.
