John F. Lyndon's Reviews

Posted by anonymous | April 25, 2018 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Well-Respected & Regarded by Clients, Peers, & Bench

John Lyndon is an excellent attorney. He is well regarded by attorneys, judges, and his clients. He is a straight shooter. He gives first rate legal advice and has the experience to predict the outcome in most cases. He is also a skilled litigator in high conflict, high asset legal matters. I highl...y recommend him.

Prevailed against two lawyers simutaneously

Mr. Lyndon was my lawyer in a nasty divorce that went to trial over assets and I am grateful for all he was able to do for me. My ex spouse had hired two lawyers to simultaneously work the case. Each of them had help from their respective staffs yet Mr. Lyndon handled things extremely well. He was ...very sharp to pick up on discrepancies in depositions and testimonies. He and his staff also gave me ample emotional support and communicated clearly as we went along. He was always very well prepared before, during, and after trial. I can't imagine how things could have come out better for me.

disappointment

He did not get what was requested of him in recent hearing. Since there were negotiations behind closed doors, he may not have even supported the desired outcome. This was important and was a big let-down.

Begged him to file petition for temporary alimony and he never filed any petitions!

He sat on damning discovery, which he could have used to settle, evidence my wife was cheating when she filed petition for divorce. He never petitioned the court to hear temporary alimony petition, even though this was the specific task I hired him to do. Instead he asked for meaningless discovery an...d wasted my finite resources. When all my money was exhausted, he quit leaving me facing a motion for contempt having no representation. The first thing he will request is affidavit of your finances to determine how much money he can get from you, when the money is gone he will quit. Don't sign anything! His wife is his secretary. I wonder why?

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

didn't do anything I asked him to do. Worked against my interest.

I begged him to file a petition for support, but in 9 months he didn't. When I finally got a hearing, because the other lawyer filed a motion for contempt, Lyndon was unprepared and just sat outside with Plaintiff's counsel trying to settle in the hallway until I caught him working against my interes...t. Lyndon tried to waive my right to a jury trail and when I wrote him saying I specifically asked him not to do so, he withdrew as my attorney leaving high and dry. He might as well have been working for the Plaintiff. He cannot be trusted.
