This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Terrible divorce attorney

John failed miserably in my divorce. I got defaulted because he failed to provide my ex husbands attorney with my paperwork by the deadline he was given by the court. He NEVER returns phone calls or emails. I ended up more in debt than I was before. Do not use him for divorce...and especially if ...he was recommended by the low cost legal aide. I got buried!! If i could give zero stars...I would!

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.
