About John
Biography
2017 marks my 22nd year practicing law. My practice focus is on civil and criminal litigation, family court, and real estate transactions. As a solo practicioner, I provide highly personalized attention to all my clients. I am very responsive to my clients, providing unmatched accessibility and availability. My courtroom experience includes litigating highly contested cases, but also reaching amicable resolutions, where possible. In real estate, I have closed dozens of residential and commercial real estate transactions, arriving at creative solutions, where necessary, in order to arrive at the closing table prepared to complete your conveyance. My skill set also includes probate, zoning, and international law. Please call me for a free phone consultation. I look forward to speaking with you immediately!
