Fearless. Street smart. Knowledgeable. Talented. John is the complete package. Well-known and respected by state and federal judges, prosecutors, the criminal defense bar and police, John knows the "system" and can put together the best defense for his clients. Whether what will serve a client best is a complex trial, working out a plea, an appeal, or post-conviction applications, John has the ability to do it all.
