Brian Jeffries

Brian has served Student Legal Services as its lead attorney for the past 36 years. Brian received his bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University, and obtained his Juris Doctor degree from the Thomas M. Cooley Law School. While in law school, Brian worked as an Administrative Assistant to a Michigan State Senator and with the Michigan Department of Attorney General in the Office of the Michigan Prosecuting Attorneys Coordinating Council.

After law school, Brian opened his own law office as well as signed on with ASMSU and COGS to begin his career at Student Legal Services. Brian focused his private practice on representing the legal needs of various business entities including for-profit and nonprofit organizations and developed an emphasis in zoning and land use law.  Brian currently maintains his practice with Student Legal Services through the law firm of Jeffries and  Associates, PLLC.  Brian has very much enjoyed devoting his practice to helping students, as well as assisting the Associated Students of Michigan State University and the Council of Graduate Students with the unique challenges and issues they present.

Brian is a member of the State Bar of Michigan, the Ingham County Bar Association, and has served as an Assemblyperson of the Representative Assembly of the State Bar of Michigan, as well as a member of the State Bar of Michigan District E Character and Fitness Committee. Brian is licensed and admitted to practice law in all State courts, the U. S. District Court for the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan, and the U. S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

In addition to practicing law, Brian has also held elective office for 27 years where he served as an Ingham County Commissioner, a Lansing Community College Board of Trustee Member, and a Lansing City Council Member. Brian has also served the Lansing community and region by volunteering on numerous local boards and commissions including the Lansing Housing Commission, Capital Area Community Services Board of Directors, Capital Regional International Airport Authority, Tri-County Office on Aging, Tri-County Regional Planning Commission, Lansing Economic Development Corporation Board of Directors, and was appointed Co-Chairperson of Lansing Mayor Schor’s Transition Team. Other affiliations include the ACLU, NAACP (Silver Life), Trout Unlimited, and St. Casimir Catholic parish.

​In his spare time, Brian likes to wade the PM and Manistee rivers to fish for trout, salmon, and steelhead; cook and bake pies; and work on his home.  Brian is a devoted fan of MSU sports and he most of all enjoys living life with his wife, Ellen.
