Exceptional Attorney with honesty and integrity in all dealings

I've worked with multiple attorneys who have handled different matters for me and by far John has gone above and beyond in his representation. I hired him for several real estate transactions and also a Will preparation. I am beyond grateful to have done so. He is incredibly efficient, intelligent ...and experienced. He has the ability to maneuver through complicated real estate transactions with ease while protecting my interests and maintaining fair dealings for all. I have recommended him to my family and friends and all have said what an amazing job he has done for them. They continue to use him when an attorney is needed and they know that he will always guide them in what's best for them. I have total confidence in the job he does and continuously look to him for legal advice. His honesty and integrity are two of his strongest characteristics and in today's day and age that is (sadly) hard to come by. I would highly recommend John to any client seeking legal counsel. You will not regret it!

A pleasure to work with

John was phenomenal to work with. He was professional, reliable and extremely helpful throughout our home buying process. Would not be the last time we'll use his services.

Reliable and Trustworthy!

I had the pleasure of having John as my attorney during the purchase of my first home. I actually started the process out with a different attorney. I found a property, got an offer accepted, reviewed and signed a contract, but when my 1st attorney lost my down-payment check, that was the end of tha...t relationship. Stressed and without many connections to lawyers on my own, I reached out to the attorney for the seller for a recommendation on someone he’d worked with previously and I was given John’s contact information. I called John immediately and explained to him my situation. He apologized for the previous lawyer’s nonsense and even matched their price which was $200 less than what he usually charges, given that the contract was already drafted and signed. Still, he advised me that it would be best for him to review the contract before reissuing the down payment, and did so early the very next morning, adding addendums in my favor. He was attentive throughout the process and answered any and all questions I had thoroughly. I know he must’ve been working on other cases and with other clients during the 3 months he helped me but he never made me feel like what I had going on wasn’t a priority, which is big since this was my biggest purchase ever. He made himself available whenever I needed to talk, by email and phone, and always responded to messages promptly. I even emailed him after closing, after he was already paid, and still he responded quickly and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking for a great lawyer. Today I hold the keys to my dream home and I am so grateful for John’s help. I will definitely be recommending John to all my friends and family!

Absolutely fantastic

John worked with us as our real estate attorney. He was incredibly thorough, responsive and helpful. He was always accessible and very timely in his responses. Most importantly, we found John to be trustworthy, compassionate and extremely reliable. I highly recommend him.
