He has argued more than 30 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and is widely regarded as one of the nation’s leading appellate advocates. Last year, he was named Appellate Attorney of the Year by The National Law Journal. He has been honored as The American Lawyer’s “Litigator of the Week” three times since 2024.

 

A Fellow of the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers, Jeff is widely regarded for his ability to distill complex legal issues into clear, persuasive arguments. He is ranked Band 1 by Chambers USA, which has praised his “formidable reputation,” describing him as a “sophisticated” and “brilliant advocate” with an “impressive track record before the Supreme Court.” He is also a three-time Law360 Appellate MVP, most recently earning back-to-back honors in 2024 and 2025.

Circuit. Before his service in the Solicitor General’s Office and time in private practice, Jeff clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas of the U.S. Supreme Court and Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Jeff has a robust pro bono practice and role in his community, serving on the board of the St. Albans School and its School of Public Service.
