About

Hi, I’m Jeff Salas. I enjoy solving problems and helping others succeed.  Luckily, I get to do that on a regular basis in my practice.  I used to play on the offensive line protecting quarterbacks when I played football.  Now my clients are my quarterbacks.

My background is in complex litigation around a variety of areas of law, which is great experience when helping small businesses and families, as I can pick out both simple and complex legal issues that have popped up over my ten years of practice.

In my time as an attorney, I’ve learned that there are creative ways of helping other achieve their goals, while protecting their interests at the same time.

I’ve been lucky enough to have collected a number of accomplishments as a lawyer, but my proudest moments are when I can help others recovery lost money, see a small business succeed, or put someone’s mind to rest to help protect their children.  Accomplishments are just decorations; the best parts of being a lawyer are the positive relationships and client successes. 

My clients get my 100% effort at all times.  When I’m not helping clients, you can find me playing with my kids and watching a whole bunch of football games!

Why practice law

Practicing law allows me to help families and small businesses professionally; I couldn’t think of anything else I’d want to do.

Fun fact

I grew up playing all kinds of sports. But my parents insisted that we experienced all sorts of other activities, so I also was a trombonist in my high school band and orchestra and still shoot a traditional (wood) bow and arrow!
