Review John Tasolides

Good to Have Someone like him in your Corner

Posted by

Mr Tasolides handled many matters for my family, real estate, traffic tickets, a criminal matter , pre Nup and divorce. He is smart, thorough, sympathetic but tough when he has to be.

Great person

Posted by

John went above and beyond while representing me. He is always available to speak to and will make sure you know what is going on with your case. He will treat you as a friend not just a client of his. He takes his time to review every option possible for you and no case is too big or too small for him. He will not disappoint you in any of your legal needs.

Considerate, Honest, and Astute

Posted by

It was a pleasure to have John represent me. After having two minor incidents in a short amount of time, I wasn't sure what my options were. John guided me through the choices and helped me to feel comfortable and confident with my decision. When he represented me, John was pleasant to interact with and handled all factors of the case with poise and tact. He brought relevant and researched evidence that was pivotal in the ultimate decisions.

Excellent Counsel

Posted by

John represented me in a matter during a very difficult time in a domestic matter. His counsel was always level-headed and well thought out. He was diligent in preparing all court documents and provided results that I would not have thought possible when I hired him. I highly recommend him.
