Professional, patient and competent

We were very fortunate to have found John Wells. He was extremely patient with my elderly mother, always taking time to explain things in detail and being considerate of her needs. Regarding litigation, he was firm, knowledgeable and shared his experiences to our benefit. We had never been involv...ed in any litigation before, so were so thankful for his expertise. John's comments "behind the scenes" showed us his strong sense of ethics and morality, which was very important to us. I am delighted to have worked with John and my mom is fortunate to have a favorable outcome.

Excellent Attorney

A friend referred me to John. I'm happy to say that John exceeded my expectations. He was very thorough in preparing both me and my case, managing all phases of the litigation. As it turned out, we did not have to go to trial, he negotiated a settlement that I am pleased with. If you are looking for ...a patient, highly perceptive, hard working litigation attorney, pick John. He took the time to be sure I understood everything that was taking place and kept me informed step by step. You won't be disappointed !

Compassionate

When I contacted Mr. Wells I was very emotional and very lost on what I could and couldn't do as far as my case. I talked to him about what happened and within minutes of him giving me advice I felt a sense of calmness and at that time I knew he was going to be the one to take me all the way to the e...nd of my case. I WAS RIGHT! My case was long but medical malpractice cases are complicated and not going to be quick. It was handled in a professional manner and Mr. Wells is a very compassionate lawyer (something that doesn't always happen) and he will fight for you! I always felt confident knowing that he was behind me the whole way. I live out of State so he worked very well with that and always worked around what I was able to do in order to get up to NY for depositions, etc. If you have a medical malpractice case and you want a very good lawyer then look no further.

Competent and Consistent from Start to Finish

John represented my family's interests associated with my father's case whereby he was hit by a car and later died from complications associated with the accident. Given my father's age and existing health related conditions our situation required multiple doctors, hospitals and insurance companies.... John was organized, methodical and thorough in establishing a game plan which we followed step by step. In the end we couldn't have asked for more from John. He helped set our expectations and was always available to answer our questions in leading us through this process and ultimately achieving favorable results.. We highly recommend John.

Worth every penny

John was very hands on I've never had an attorney have such good communication with me. He's honest and does what he says he's gonna do. He helped change my life for the better.
