Happy With My Outcome

I highly recommend John , he was very supportive and communicated with me through out the whole process. He was very knowledgeable and made me feel at ease about everything. I was unsure to even hire an attorney for my injury but I am very happy I did hire John.

Respectful, honest, and to the point.

Mr. John Wells and his team were super professional and compassionate from the start. As the case progressed, I felt more comfortable with him and how everything went. I would recommend him to anyone that had to go through the trouble and grief that my children and I went through. He thinks like a fa...mily man, not a lawyer and that's why I felt so comfortable with him. Thank you John for everything you did for me and my family, and for getting my late husband what his family needed.

wonderful human!

My journey began a long time ago with John Wells. I was wronged by a scheming and conniving individual, with John's encouragement and overwhelming legal knowledge, together we persevered! He most definitely went above and beyond to make things right. Along the way he kept me updated, and when I r...eally did not know the right way to proceed, he did and made things happen. John worked diligently to file the proper paperwork with the court system and provided mounds of evidence to ensure a con man did not succeed in his venture. When we went into court, he made me feel safe and confident. I was not alone in this situation. I am an elderly woman who almost lost everything to someone who I thought was trustworthy. I cannot express the gratitude I have for John Wells, but I can highly recommend him to help you. If you have a situation that seems hopeless, he is the man to see!!!!

Outstanding !

We had the pleasure of working with John Wells, and we can’t say enough about our experience. John is very compassionate, explained matters in a way that were simple to understand, and worked hard on our behalf. He communicated with us every step of the way to let us know where he was in the proces...s. We were impressed with his level of expertise, and would highly recommend John.

Legal advice

I contacted Attorney Mr. Wells, seeking legal assistance, and found him to be personable, attentive, and interested in helping me bring resolution to an ongoing neighbor situation. He provided practical advice, hoping it would abate any further incidents. I would recommend Mr. Wells' legal counsel... to anyone seeking an attorney who has your best interest at heart. Thank you Mr. Wells for your candid, practical approach to a highly unpleasant ordeal.

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.
