Excellent Attorney

Mr. John is the best attorney I have met so far. He is a compassionate, knowledgeable, and empathetic person. I had a hard time while looking for attorneys, but the day I met him, my all worries went away. He has a very sensible approach towards all kind of situations. He explains everything in detai...l and addresses all of your concerns. I vehemently recommend his services.

Best criminal lawyer around!

After calling several attorneys in the area for advice, I found Mr. McFadden and received a free consultation and his fee was very reasonable. he is very knowledgeable on the laws and rights of people charged with drug offenses.

If you need a good lawyer go with the public defender BUT if you want a lawyer that will defend you go with John McFadden!

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.
