He then worked as assistant general counsel of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers followed by service in Washington, D.C., for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and as an associate professor at George Washington University Law School. At some point, he moved to Honolulu, Hawaii, where he served as deputy prosecuting attorney.

Jeff enjoyed horseback riding, acting, and reading Jewish history. He was writing a screenplay when he passed away. He was also a member of Mensa International. Jeff married Stephanie Rose Schnitzer in 1957 followed by a second marriage to Monica Christina Weckman in 1984.
