Top of the Line Lawyer

Fantastic Lawyer and Guy, explained the whole process from beginning to end. Appeared in court and supported all my questions and issues. The process was easy. I highly recommend Mr. Lehr because of his work ethic, down-to-earth personality, and professionalism.

Knowledgeable, Professional and Sincere

The Bankruptcy process, whether individual or corporate is NEVER a pleasant situation, the laws that you think are there to protect you often work in opposite ways and it is very much of an Old Boys network I consulted with John on a complex matter, and he took the time to review the entire docket..., asked very relevant questions to indicate he had a good grasp on the case, and gave me very practical solutions on dealing with the matter. He has so much integrity, that even though I was tempted to hire him, he thought the case was too far along, and told me it would be more cost efficient to keep my present attorney (translation: He turned down a chance to get more money out of concern for a potential client) I highly recommend giving John a call whether you have an individual bankruptcy case or a complex corporate matter, you will be certain to get a clear concise answer at a minimum, he will point you in the right direction if he doesnt think he is the right fit

A true professional

John Lehr was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed almost impossible. Not only was he able to defend our financial rights, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care a...bout most. He was extremely professional and promptly responded to all of our concerns. My wife and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Lehr without reservation.

Will hire again.

Mr. Lehr was punctual and professional. He exceeded all expectations and met all the deadlines I had requested of him. He was able to explain the steps that would be taken in a clear and concise manner that was easily understandable. I would hire again.

The very best

I would call John Lehr at least 5 times a day. He was patient, and very professional in handling my inquiries with ease and clarity. He gave me such peace of mind through my turbulent time. I have referred him to many people because I feel he is such a strong, caring, and professional lawyer.
