Jeff left the Justice Department and moved from Washington DC to Tarzana, California in January 1986.  He was a partner in a law firm and eventually had his own law firm, where he practiced intellectual property litigation.  Jeff has been an Adjunct Professor of Law at Southwestern Law School since 1992, teaching Advanced Copyright Law, Internet and Computer Law, and Intellectual Property Law. In 2001, Jeff received the Adjunct Excellence in Teaching Award.

Jeff retired from practicing law in 2012 and now devotes his time to helping animals.  He is a Volunteer at the City's West Valley City Animal Shelter, where he helps with adoptions of dogs and takes them out of their kennels for exercise, walks, and training.  Jeff is a Board Member and the 2nd Vice President of the Tarzana Neighborhood Council and Chairman of its Animal Welfare Committee (AWC).  The AWC deals with issues involving the City of Los Angeles Animal Shelters; opposition to killings of healthy, adoptable dogs, cats, and rabbits; works with and assists rescue organizations; deals with issues of wild animals like coyotes and outbreaks of animal diseases; along with other matters.  The AWC develops programs to increase adoptions of animals at the Shelters and reduce the number of animals killed there. Animals, and the people who care about them, should have a voice on the neighborhood council. 

Jeff and the AWC received the “best of” award for 2017 from the Valley Alliance of Neighborhood Councils for “Engaging the City to Save the Lives of Hundreds of Animals.”  See:
