He is the best in Rochester!

My daughter was hit by a car crossing the street to go to school in March of 2015. And from that time on John has been there every step of the way. He explained to us the ins and outs of what was going to happen and there was never a question that went unanswered. Despite the reason we were there we ...often spoke of other things to break up the seriousness occasionally. I was always kept in the loop. And his assistant Sherrie is the best! Whenever John was away Sherrie stepped in right away and let me know where we were in the process of the case. I love them both and would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to anyone!!!!!

Top lawyer who was persistent and tough on big insurance companies

I experienced a life changing series of events after getting hit from behind by a drunk driver four years ago. My injuries were serious which concerned me how this would impact my long term lifestyle (not just the immediate/near future). I was very fortunate to have worked with John Wright who was ...patient and methodical with his management of my case. His knowledge on no fault and personal injury was beyond impressive. He guided me through 4 years of paperwork, red-tape, and the insurance company hassles. He helped me receive medical treatments so I could resume my lifestyle and enjoy my family. The worse feeling after an accident is ensuring someone is fairly representing your best interest and not partnering together on your case. I received John’s attention and support for the 4 years and was amazed with his knowledge, professionalism and drive to become victorious in my case. Lastly, John’s taking it one step further to ensure I get proper long term treatment which is my #1 concern and reimbursements that were out of pocket during this time. My injuries are unfortunately chronic, but John is helping ensure I receive the future medical attention needed and isn’t leaving me to fight that on my own (cannot thank him enough for this). I strongly recommend reaching out to John if you’ve encountered a situation like mine and want the best lawyer in Rochester!

  • 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.
