Jeremy’s clients appreciate his focused, practical approach which has enabled them to achieve their desired outcomes as efficiently as possible. Jeremy has represented clients in a variety of industries and ranging from five-employee, owner-operated businesses to multinational organizations with tens of thousands of California employees.

He was a recipient of the Edward and Eleanor Shattuck Award, given to a student who has demonstrated the greatest potential for becoming an outstanding member of the Bar and whose actions have improved the general quality of life at USC Law.
