Excellent Representation

Attorney Flor represented my daughter in a case involving a harassment order placed against her. Attorney Flor met and exceeded my expectations from the start. He was very professional, organized, and knowledgeable. Attorney Flor has my deepest gratitude for how he represented my daughter. The har...assment order was dismissed. Hopefully, I will not require representation in the near future, but if I ever do. I will call Attorney Flor. Highly Recommended

Review of Lawyer John Flor

I contacted John Flor, in part because I had researched his reputation online and had found great things about his work with his clientele. I immediately asked for a consultation with him in regards to a speeding ticket that I had received. He was able to immediately return my phone call and set up a... consultation in a timely manner. He was also able to give me a fair quote on his lawyer fee and was very flexible with payment, which I highly appreciated. On the day of the court hearing, he was very professional and confident about the outcome of the case. The result of the case was in my favor, as he had anticipated. I would highly recommend John Flor.

JOB WELL DONE

I hired Attorney Flor to represent me in a speeding ticket. I picked him because of his extensive trial experience and reputation for preparation. I was very concerned about how this could affect my insurance as I had previous tickets. Attorney Flor visited the area with me where I received the tic...ket and prepped with me for the hearing. It was all very helpful and at the hearing I was found not to be responsible. I recommend this attorney.

IMPRESSED

I was impressed with John"s knowledge of the law and his ability to think outside the box. I used John for a criminal matter over this past spring which he ultimately got dismissed. I found him to be very knowledgeable with the law and thorough in explaining all my options. I appeared in court thr...ee times on my case with John and each time I felt confident that I choose the right attorney. I found him to be genuine, likeable and a strong advocate. I would recommend John to anyone with a criminal case.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Flor has my highest recommendation. He has worked in many legal capacities over many years which include Assistant District Attorney. His experience and candor were both key in the resolution of my case. Mr. Flor very professionally guided me and was able to have my charges dismissed complet...ely. He answered all of my questions. He was able to keep me confident that the job that I just landed would most likely not see my police report. (His knowledge of Corporate Human Resources is very impressive.) Although I am very impressed with Mr. Flor professionally, I will add that his personal demeanor, attention to detail and his candor in general is reason I give him an overwhelming endorsement. I had very little faith in the legal system. It was incredibly refreshing to find someone who is honest and hard working. Thank you Mr. Flor!
