Best Lawyer/Person Ever!
John went above and beyond for me! He is not only an excellent lawyer but an outstanding person! He is very knowledgeable, honest, kind and loyal. My case became quite difficult but he never faltered. He kept his shoulder to the grindstone and got the job done for me. I think a different lawyer would have given up. After my case was finished John was always there for me when I needed any type of legal advice. I think I drove him crazy a few times but his kindness would never let me feel as though I was a bother to him. I have sent many friends to him and they have all been more than satisfied as well as amazed at his willingness to advise freely. I just cannot say enough great things about John. He's with a different firm now but I would recommend any of them because I know John would only work with other decent, honest and diligent lawyers.
