Divorce mediation

John was efficient, prompt, and straight forward. He made an otherwise uncomfortable process easy to deal with. Thank you for making it easier!

Pleased with service

John was invaluable throughout the divorce process. I would highly recommend his services. During a difficult time he kept the process moving along and worked diligently to come up with a fair and equitable settlement

Professional and reliable

John is the most professional and reliable person I have ever met. He managed to keep me sane and level headed throughout my unnecessarily long divorce. He fought hard for me and my Children and I will be forever grateful. He loves what he does and you can tell by his work. He’s very organized and re...sponsive. He answers his phone all hours of the night and truly cares about his clients.

John Whiteman - Joseph Law Group

John was responsive, understood the relevant issues and gave me good/practical advice. I think the engagement ran smoothly based on his professionalism and hard work.

Compassionate & Comprehensive

John was my attorney through a long and difficult divorce process, as well as my support through multiple post-divorce life changes. He has always been extremely professional, thorough, and responsive, but most importantly to me, has been his patience and compassion. Divorce has by far been the most ...tolling experience in my life, especially transitioning from a new parent to a single parent in such a short period of time. Even in my darkest of times, John helped make sense of the entire process by taking the time to explain every detail of what would become my separation and divorce agreements. He brought confidence to all my uncertainty and anxiety, by reassuring my contributions to the marriage and my rights as a mother. I am extraordinarily grateful to have had his guidance through this and will continue to recommend him to anyone I meet facing a potential divorce.

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.
