This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Unbelievably Incompetent

John mediated the trust disbursement for the death of my father and he did a terrible job. All siblings were in agreement with no disputes. It was an easy matter to bring closure. Instead, John offered all of us unclear language, a complete lack of transparency, typos in emails (from a Yahoo email?),... weeks between communication, and at times, complete disrespect. It's important to note that he's even in the family himself. If he can't do his job well for his extended family, how do you expect him to handle your legal matters? I implore you; find anybody else.

Zero stars

Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. I was given repeated assurances but very little actual progress. Responses were slow, and I often felt left in the dark about important matters. What should have been a straightforward process became exhausting and frustrating. I expected far more ...professionalism. Would NOT recommend.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
