About

I'm an attorney who primarily focuses in bankruptcy as well as civil defense litigation.  My bankruptcy practice includes both simple and complex cases involving Chapters 7, 11, 12, & 13, and the occasional chapter 9 (our office has filed 2 of the 3 Chapter 9 cases filed in Idaho).  In 2016 & 2017, I was the adjunct bankruptcy professor for Concordia University's School of Law, here in Boise.  I also enjoy practicing criminal defense and making sure people are treated fairly in our criminal justice system.

Mr. Kaufman's knowledge in his field ensured a complete and thorough understanding of the situation, essentially building trust in him as a representative and saving me tons of time, resources, and emotional grief; the most important parts of an advocate, and fighter for your cause. I highly recommend Mr. Kaufman as a first choice contact when searching for someone on your side.

Jeffrey is one of the most caring, loyal, and genuine attorney's i have ever met. My husband and I really appreciate the time and efforts he has taken to help our family from bankruptcy to custody issues. It means so much to actually have a great attorney with so much knowledge helping you through the tough times in life. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone and any chance I get I refer clients to Jeffrey.

Like many I considered trying to do my bankruptcy myself. I am so happy that I contacted Jeffery! I would have made so many mistakes and the process would have taken so much longer. He proved to be an invaluable guide. There are lots of bankruptcy attorneys in Boise and I contacted several. The result? Nada. I suppose because I was reaching out for help during the holidays those attorneys were "busy". I happened to stumble upon Jeffery's listing on the internet, sent an email and I was in his office virtually the next day. My first meeting with Jeffery lasted just about two hours and in that time he quickly mapped out a strategy that made the bankruptcy as painless as possible. At the beginning of my bankruptcy I was very concerned about paying for an upcoming major home repair. He helped me put together a plan that by reducing the payments to the trustee over a short time I was able to save the necessary funds to complete the repair. The upshot now is that we are just a few months away from completing our bankruptcy. And thanks to Jeffery's advice and counsel I was able to complete the bankruptcy fairly painlessly, acquired a new automobile and added to my retirement fund. In short I believe the we are in a much better financial position today because I engaged Jeffery as my attorney five years ago.

Jeff and his team were extremely professional and helpful in guiding me through my bankruptcy. I went through three other attorney's before I found Jeff, and I would highly recommend Jeff's services to anyone in need of a bankruptcy attorney.

Jeffrey Kaufman worked very hard and with unquestionable ethics to ensure the best outcome of my messy chapter 13 case. His guidance and advocacy allowed me to complete my 5 year plan a full two years early while still paying 100% of allowed unsecured claims. My case had elements of divorce, foreclosure, tax arrears, chapter 7 conversion, and a seemingly adversarial trustee. It's the last area where Mr. Kaufman truly went the extra mile for me. He and his team researched and successfully argued against at least two actions brought by the trustee that would have prevented me from completing my plan. In spite of the complex case, I always felt well informed by Mr. Kaufman. He clearly explained the legal and strategic issues of my case in a timely and personal manner at every step. I highly recommend Mr. Kaufman without reservation.

Jeffrey was always there for me during an long process of a challenged Chapter 7 and subsequent Chapter 11. He explained everything clearly and stood by my side with compassion and humor to the bitter end. I owe him more than I could ever say. I would recommend him to those who feel they are all alone and facing overwhelming odds against them.

Jeffrey was what we needed. He explained the risk, options and possible outcomes which made us feel comfortable with our situation. He was there anytime we had questions. He knows his business and we would recommend him to anyone in this situation.

I could type all day about this man . I will keep it simple i would trust this man with my life . We had some ups and downs and he stuck by me all the way . Jeffery and his team did an amazing job and put the wicked witch i was married to in her place . I'm a hands on kinda guy but after it was all said and done i could have relaxed more knowing he was on top it . We had a very tough case to deal with and it nearly broke my spirit at times . I have had other attorneys over the years and none compare to these guys .

Jeff is very dedicated to details and numbers, and understood fully the complicated issues with my bankruptcy. He was encouraging and supportive, and provided me with a very positive outlook, treating me with the upmost respect the entire time. He also provided follow up with creditors and others, once the bankruptcy was completed, in such a way that his position or points were never questioned. I have referred him numerous times, to coworkers and friends, and I would personally hire again if I ever needed his services again. I would also trust his judgment for recommending appropriate specialists or colleagues, for the types of work he doesn't do.

Jeffrey did a wonderful job guiding us through the bankruptcy process. He was very through and did and excellent job of explaining the complicated "legal" parts of the process and led us to a successful completion in what can be a very stressful process. I would recommend Jeffrey to anyone who needed competent legal services.
