About Jeff

Why I started Devoted.

I began working in California personal injury in 2011 and have spent each year since helping injured people put their lives back together. By the time I was admitted to the Bar in 2021, I had already handled hundreds of injury matters from the intake side, the investigation side, and the settlement side.

What I learned over those years is simple: people don't call a personal-injury firm because they want a lawsuit. They call because they're hurt, the bills are stacking, and the insurance company has started making their life harder. They want someone to pick up the phone, tell them the truth, and handle it.

That's exactly why we built Devoted. At your free consultation, you'll speak directly with a lawyer, not an intake clerk or a paralegal.

Outside the office, I spend my time with my wife, three boys, and daughter. I run, surf, and try to spend as much time near the ocean as San Diego County will let me.
