About
I litigate, arbitrate and mediate business disputes. Business disputes typically concern the ownership, management or control of a business, diverse contractual issues, financial torts, and/or government regulatory issues. I also handle many cases in the media and technology industries, with particular experience in First Amendment defense (anti-SLAPP motions) and motion picture, TV and video game disputes.Beyond acting as trial counsel in court, I assist clients (or act as a neutral mediator) in the acquisition, management and disposition of business interests in dispute. These matters often involve partner-shareholder buyouts, community property division and business management (or contractual relationship) restructuring. Business dispute negotiations may arise from a pending court case or a desire by the parties to resolve an issue outside the judicial system. I often am retained by attorneys and other professionals to assist with the business aspects of a broader relationship or dispute, such as the termination of a trust, marital dissolution proceedings or key manager severance.I have practiced law for 28 years and am admitted to the Bar in California and the District of Columbia. I was trained at the international law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom under reknown California lawyers Frank Rothman, Bill Masterson, Michael Diamond and James Lyons. I was named a Northern California "Super Lawyer" by Thomson Reuters in 2005, 2012 and 2013.Our 18-attorney law firm, Valle Makoff LLP, advises and represents corporations/LLCs, partnerships, trusts and individuals in contested cases, mediations and negotiations throughout California. We have offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Walnut Creek, and have practiced in most California counties.

Mr. Makoff gave me some great advice on a Marvin claim that was filed against my late fathers estate. I think that if I would have spoke to him first, the last year of my life would have be greatly altered for the better. Regardless, he was able to give me direction and refer me to an attorney in my area that continued to help me. I appreciated and valued the knowledge he gave me.
I founded and ran a major entertainment content developer which worked with nearly 200 clients including all top 20 video game publishers, feature film directors like Michael Bay, and companies like Nike, Coca Cola, Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. I was responsible for dealing with all legal for the company, including dealing with all my clients attorneys. In all that time I found none who matched Jeff Makoff at strategy, litigation, tort law, mediation, or decency. I would recommend Mr. Makoff to anyone in the business who needed a true champion for what is right, and for those who seek justice, settlement, or need sound rational advice. I cannot speak highly enough about Mr. Makoff, his skills, or his God given talents.
