  • I recommend John Kaman.
  • I used John 1-3 years ago.
  • John handled my Criminal Defense matter.
  • I have previously worked with 6-10 lawyers.
Client Review:
Mr. Kaman is everything that you expect from a lawyer and more. Legal Knowledge isn’t any good unless it is applied properly. Not only does he have “in depth” legal knowledge, he practically applies the law, does it in a timely manner with creative skills as required. In his years of legal work, Mr. Kaman has built a support network of excellent resources. That is, Private Investigators, expert witnesses, etc. In addition, Mr. Kaman’s excellent communication skills keep things on an even keel and makes sure that you know what to expect and when.
My experience; Mr. Kaman was engaged to defend my son. Due to an unfortunate set of circumstances, and a very aggressive DA, my son faced a myriad of charges that could have resulted in years of hard time. On charges that my son acknowledged making a mistake, Mr. Kaman negotiated probation only. On charges that my son insisted innocence, he used his legal expertise and appropriate support services to verify my son’s claims and lay out a defense. This resulted in a dismissal of the charges.

I am Impressed with John and would retain him based on his honesty

  • I recommend John Kaman.
  • I used John 1-3 years ago.
  • John handled my Admiralty / Maritime matter.
  • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.
Client Review:
The only reason I only put average is because I never personally used John and don't know anyone who has. I wouldn't hesitate to retain him because even though I have a general distrust for the honesty of a lawyer without a price attached to it. The reveiw that Impressed me most is John replying and clearing up that he didnt actually get a govenors pardon. Even though that reveiw would have had me call him, His responded Honesty would make me not hesitate to retain him.

Client Review:
Mr. Kaman Represented my husband in a violation of probation case. although the case was over three years old, Mr. Kaman was able to get us the best possible outcome. My husband was let go completely with no more probation and no restitution. Kaman was great at letting us know what was going to happen before we even stood in front of the judge. He answered all of our questions promptly and completely. He was well worth the price.

Answered my question with no strings attached

Client Review:
Thank you for John Kaman for answering my question so quickly. My tricky question was, "Instead of going to jail is their a get out of jail card by joining the army?"
The majority of attorneys said no, but John Kaman sent me a link that was quite useful in my research for the book I'm working on now.
That technically no the service can't allow that, but in some States its really up to the judge, making this decision.

Client Review:
He helped me clear up an early criminal record and even get a governor's pardon. I was able to start life afresh and am now in nursing school.
Posted over 1 year ago.
Lawyer's Comment: This positive endorsement troubles me because I have never applied for, much less obtained, a governor's pardon for any client. I assume this is an ex client and I am glad that s/he was content with my services but I did NOT obtain a governor's pardon.

Client Review:
I found Mr. Kaman at a crucial time in my case. My case improved dramatically with his representation. He was always there to answer my questions and returned phone calls within hours if not sooner. I can't say enough positive things about Mr. Kaman and his ability as an attorney. He is very professional, yet he cares about your situation and truly wants his client to prevail. I owe so much to this man for everything he has done for me, I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a qualified, reliable attorney!!

He also happens to be very pleasant and puts you at ease during what can be a very stressful time.
