Jeff represents clients in intellectual property litigation and internet-related litigation, handling the wide variety of legal issues that arise in connection with the Internet.

Jeff also regularly defends consumer class actions alleging unfair competition and false advertising regarding websites, emails, and e-commerce platforms. In particular, Jeff’s practice focuses on the following types of cases:

• Copyright and Trademark Infringement: Jeff regularly represents both defendants and plaintiffs in copyright and trademark infringement lawsuits involving website content, digital products, and online advertisements.
• Online Defamation: Jeff has extensive experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in defamation cases involving online content, including anonymously-published content. Jeff has litigated all aspects of online defamation matters from anti-SLAPP through trial, and he has worked with clients and experts to quantify both economic and non-economic damages in such cases.
• False Advertising on the Internet: Jeff’s clients are primarily online retailers of everyday products and services, such as dietary supplements, office supplies, recreational products, home electronics, and car rental services. Jeff represents these clients when their competitors make false statements in advertisements, or when Jeff’s clients are accused of making false statements about their own products and services.
• Spam, TCPA, and Telemarketing Defense: Jeff devotes a significant portion of his practice to defending spam, TCPA, and telemarketing litigation, and he has been involved in several precedent-setting cases. Jeff is well-versed in all aspects of the relevant spam and TCPA authority as well as the practical trial and settlement dynamics of spam and TCPA litigation.

We use a practical approach to all of our litigation. We take into consideration our client’s goals, all of the possible outcomes, and the realistic cost of the litigation in order to develop a vigorous strategy to achieve our client’s goals.
