This is a moving story which gives an account of a man's travel from a position of trust and respect to drug use, criminality and prison. Through self reflection and mentoring Jeff remade his life to make a positive contribution for the benefit of others.
For more than 20 years, Jeff served as managing attorney of a 20+ employee law firm headquartered in New York City representing family-owned and closely-held businesses and their owners. We invited Jeff onto the podcast after reading his story in New Yorker.
In 2001, after an addiction to prescription opioids he committed a white collar crime and served almost fourteen months in a Federal prison over the course of 2006/07. When Jeff left prison, he started his own re-entry by earning a Master of Divinity majoring in Social Ethics.
After graduating from divinity school, Jeff was called to serve at an inner city church in Bridgeport, CT as Associate Minister and Director of Prison Ministries. He then co-founded Progressive Prison Ministries, Inc. (Greenwich, CT), the world’s first ministry serving the white collar justice community. On May 5, 2021, Jeff’s law license was reinstated by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York.
He is once again in private practice and is committed to using his legal expertise and life experience to benefit others.
