Having worked with John on handling my uncle's estate, I found him to be an extremely professional and responsive lawyer. Even though the estate in question was not particularly large, I felt I was given a high level of attention and courtesy. I also felt as though he spoke to me in plain English, without all of the confusing legalese that lawyers are sometimes prone to using. This was especially helpful, as I never hd been through the experience of being an executrix before.
Additionally, I was handling the Monroe County estate from Philadelphia, which ended up presenting a few difficulties. I felt as though I could trust John to take the lead on any roadblocks that arose and handle them in a manner that kept the interests of the estate at the forefront.
Without reservation, I would recommend John to anyone who is seeking first-class legal counsel.
