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 w...ould 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.

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.
