Amazing Attorney

John came recommended to me after being in a car accident, and I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to represent my case. John is well versed in his field, and knows how to get the job done. John is not only an experienced and educated attorney, but also a selfless person who shows empathy wit...h whatever you are facing. I would 100% recommend him to anyone who could use his assistance.

Phenomenal attorney!

In 2014 I was in a car accident that left me with a permanent back injury. Despite being what seemed like a fairly straightforward accident, I found myself being sued by the person who hit me. John did extensive research on the circumstances of the accident calling upon highly trained professionals t...o determine exactly what had happened. He kept me up to date on the case and helped me to remain calm at even the most stressful points. He was always available, returning both calls and emails promptly. His office staff was professional and courteous. I felt like he truly cared about me. I would without hesitation recommend John to family and friends.

John J Pavano, Attorney, Counselor, Friend

John and his partners intervened on my behalf, 18 months into a work-related injury, management of which was botched by my previous attorney. After being delayed by the Insurance carrier, I was faced with the serious personal problems at the time John reached out to me. Identifying gaps in my previo...us attorney's advice, we were able to recover a substantial amount of uncompensated expenses to get me on my feet. I have been able to persevere, with John's continuing advice, and am closer to a recovery now, than I would have been otherwise. He has become and indispensable counselor and friend over our four-years-to-date association.

Outstanding!

John is not only a great attorney he's a wonderful down to earth guy. I just wish I had time to tell my whole story. Anyway I contacted John just over one year ago on a recommendation from a friend. I had just been injured in an accident and was quite stressed about the whole thing, not to mention in... pain from my injuries. When I spoke with John he made me feel at ease and assured me he would handle everything. Once he was on the job he kept me updated regularly and always took the time to ask how I was feeling. I felt like he was an old friend. Any time I started to feel discouraged John's positive attitude would always bring me back. When we got to the settlement stage, I felt confident John was giving me sound advice. I ended up getting more than I expected in monetary compensation but more than that I know I gained a new friend and an attorney to whom I will feel comfortable referring my own family and friends. Oh and I never had any trouble reaching John. If he wasn't available he would always promptly return my calls. I recommend John one hundred percent. Thanks John.

Excellent & Honest

John is the best lawyer you will ever find. He kept me up to date with my case, which went on over 2 years. I was so happy because he got me much more money for my life altering injuries then other lawyers I spoke to told me they could get me. John listens to you and trys to put himself in your shoe...s.

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.
