He has personally advised on more than 1,000 divorce cases nationwide since 2010 and is widely recognized as one of the leading voices in the country on the financial aspects of divorce.

Jeff earned his BA in Psychology from Columbia University and studied law at Pace University School of Law. Before entering the divorce financial space, he spent more than two decades in real estate and finance, working in the real estate departments of Metropolitan Life, Merrill Lynch, and other major financial institutions. He also owned and operated a real estate brokerage company in New York and an online real estate matching service. He later joined Wells Fargo Advisors as a financial advisor. While there, he had several clients who were going through a divorce and that was the genesis for launching his practice advising women navigating financially complex divorces.

In 2010, Jeff founded Bedrock Divorce Advisors, LLC, a nationwide divorce financial strategy firm working exclusively with women before, during, and after divorce. Through Bedrock, he built a national practice helping clients and their attorneys work through the financial complexities of asset division, support structuring, and long-term financial planning. He went on to found Divorce House Sense, LLC to focus on helping divorcing homeowners with real estate and mortgage solutions, and then Hello Monthly Income, LLC to address the critical and often overlooked gap in insurance protection during divorce.

What Others Have Said About Jeff’s Work

“Divorce: Think Financially, Not Emotionally is a wonderful guide for women seeking to secure their financial future. The book spans socioeconomic groups and delivers a message which is helpful to anyone making important life decisions in a rational and intelligent manner.” — Laura A. Wasser, Divorce Attorney (whose clients have included Maria Shriver, Heidi Klum, Angelina Jolie, Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, and others)

“This book is packed with practical advice for any woman who wants to better protect her assets during divorce, but it may be particularly valuable for women in abusive relationships, who typically find it more difficult to escape their situations and secure a sound financial future.” — Liz Smith, Syndicated Columnist

“Whether you’re new to the ‘D’ word or have had some time since the ink dried on the paperwork, you can’t fully recover without first recovering financially.

A Personal Note

One of the things Jeff is most proud of has nothing to do with his professional career. After 34 years of marriage, he and his wife went through their own divorce and managed to do so amicably. They remain friends to this day.

That experience shaped how he approaches every case he works on. Divorce is hard enough on its own. The financial side of it does not have to be adversarial, confusing, or something you figure out after the fact. That is the philosophy behind everything Jeff does at Hello Monthly Income.
