My brother Jeff is right now going thru the fight of his life: the fight to restore his good name, his freedom, and most importantly, to prove his innocence. Please help us raise legal funds for Jeff's lawyer, who will prove Jeff is innocent of all charges. We are now navigating through very turbulent times, but we have faith that with God's help, we will get through this.  And with your help, we can hope to have swift justice. 

Jeff retired in March as a highly decorated police officer who dedicated and sacrificed 26 years of his life to the service of his community.  He helped save many lives and helped out thousands of people along the way.  Jeff was always there when a friend or family member was caught in a bind.  Whoever called Jeff for help or advice, Jeff was ALWAYS there to respond to them. 

Thank you for being there now for Jeff.  God bless all of you who know and love Jeff, and who know that although he is not a perfect man, he is incapable of such atrocious accusations. 

Your contribution can go a long way. Please consider donating on Spotfund, or via any of the following:

Thank you and God bless you for being a light for Jeff and our family during this period of darkness.

On November 3, 2022, exactly one week before his 50th birthday, my brother Jeff was accused of a serious crime by his ex-girlfriend which allegedly occurred in October of 2021. Although the accusation stems from an event which allegedly occurred in October 2021, the relationship and co-habitation of this couple continued until July of 2022. Between October 2021 and July 2022, the couple lived together, traveled to visit our family in Panama and Puerto Rico, attended my father's gravestone unveiling, Shabbat dinners, family events and birthdays and many other joyous occasions.

As you all know, Jeff was a highly decorated police sergeant who retired from MBPD on March 1, 2022, after 26 years of service to the community.

The life Jeff envisioned as a retired LEO- being able to live off his hard-earned pension while continuing to work in the MBPD Reserves and concealed-weapon permit training/certification- vanished. He went from "Hero" to "Zero" in a matter of seconds. He is no longer able to generate any additional income due to the State prohibiting his access to weapons. Not only does Jeff now have to use his pension money to live (pay rent, food, utilities, etc.) and pay child support for his 9-year old son, he also has to pay his lawyer to defend him in this case.

Currently, Jeff's trial is set to start March 27, 2023. Jeff is fighting tooth and nail to prove his innocence, and Jeff, my mother, and I are so grateful to all the friends and family members who have stood by us and shown us their support and faith in Jeff.

Jeff is being represented by one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Miami, Michael Grieco. At this time, we ask that you please help us in the collection of funds for Jeff's legal defense. A little goes a long way: any amount you can give will help us out greatly.

March 27th is around the corner, and we have faith in God that Jeff's innocence will be proven. Thank you for taking the time to read this story, for believing in Jeff’s innocence, and for standing by my brother Jeff and our family. God bless you all 🙏
