Jeff
Hane has been practicing personal injury
and general litigation since 1993. Jeff has
handled cases where his clients recovered
sums in excess of six figures, including
one case just under $500,000. He has also
served as co-counsel in cases where our clients
recovered verdicts near $1 million.
Jeff is a candidate in the Master's program (LIM) at the Center for Excellence in Elderlaw through Stenson University's College of Law. He is enrolled in on-going study in topics such as retirement benefits, medical assistance, estate planning, special needs trusts, and legal issues for the aging.
Jeff is also the law firm’s primary
attorney for water law, adoption matters,
construction law, Social Security disability,
and workers compensation. In addition,
Jeff serves as an Assistant County Attorney
for Kittson
County. Jeff became a shareholder of the
firm in 1998.
Adoption law comes naturally to Jeff–he
and his wife are adoptive parents, having
adopted their children from China in two
separate adoptions. Having gone through two
adoptions, he has first-hand knowledge of
the process, and prospective adoptive parents
now seek him out–Jeff’s one
of the busiest adoption attorneys in the
region. Likewise, construction law comes naturally
to Jeff. Jeff worked his way through college
doing residential construction and framing.
Contractors
and homeowners appreciate the fact that
Jeff understands the construction process
(including
finance), construction contracts and timetables,
permits & inspections, and construction
regulations and lien laws.
In his spare time, Jeff is an avid do-it-yourself-er. When not working on
his house, Jeff loves to help friends and
family on construction, remodeling, and salvage
projects.
Jeff was awarded both The Order of the Coif
and The Order of Barristers in 1993.
