When high-stakes legal issues arise, Jeffrey A. Neiman is the first call for countless CEOs, entrepreneurs, celebrities, and influencers. A former federal prosecutor and seasoned litigator, Jeff regularly advises clients on defending against government investigations, resolving complex business disputes, and navigating high-profile tax controversies. At his core, Jeff is a trial lawyer—having successfully tried more than a dozen white-collar cases in federal court.
Before founding Neiman Mays Floch & Almeida, Jeff spent a decade with the U.S. Department of Justice, serving in both Washington, D.C., and Miami. While working in DOJ's Tax and Criminal Divisions, he led investigations and prosecutions involving tax evasion, money laundering, public corruption, and securities and healthcare fraud. He was recognized by the Attorney General for his role in the landmark prosecution of UBS AG, Switzerland's largest and oldest bank.
Since entering private practice in 2011, Jeff has achieved exceptional results for his clients, both in court and behind the scenes. Notably, within a span of nine months, he secured a full acquittal in a federal criminal trial for an attorney charged with wire fraud and then won a jury verdict fully exonerating the heiress of an oil fortune in a civil matter where the government sought millions in penalties. However, many of Jeff's most significant victories occur quietly—resolving sensitive disputes discreetly and efficiently, often without the need for litigation.
A South Florida native, Jeff graduated with honors from the University of Florida and the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where he was inducted into the Order of the Coif. He is a frequent speaker, panelist, and contributor at national conferences on topics such as offshore tax evasion, tax fraud, Ponzi schemes, and trial strategy.
