John Todd Refermat

I give my highest, wholehearted recommendation to attorney John Refermat. Working with John has been one of the most extraordinary professional experiences of my life. From the very first conversation, it was unmistakably clear that I was in the presence of someone operating at a rare level — a lawye...r whose intelligence, strategic thinking, and command of the law are matched only by his integrity and his humanity. John sees the entire board at once. He understands complex matters not just at the surface level but at their emotional, structural, and strategic core. His ability to anticipate challenges, counter opposing arguments, and map the path forward is unlike anything I have seen. He is both deeply analytical and deeply practical — nothing is wasted, nothing is performative, everything is purposeful. What makes John exceptional is the balance he carries so naturally: • a fierce advocate who protects his clients with precision and strength, • a steady counselor who listens, distills, reassures, and clarifies, and • a strategic thinker who is always ten steps ahead, even in the most high-pressure moments. His writing is surgical. His courtroom presence is commanding. His preparation is exhaustive. His judgment is unwavering. He takes the time to learn the full shape of a matter — its history, its nuances, and its human elements — and then translates all of that into guidance that is clear, actionable, and deeply protective. Beyond his extraordinary legal skill, John brings something even more rare: integrity, presence, and genuine care. He treats people with respect. He leads with honesty. He holds the center when everything around the matter feels chaotic or adversarial. In the months I have worked with him, I have felt continually supported — not only legally, but in the clarity and steadiness he brings to every interaction. If you are looking for an attorney who is brilliant, unshakable under pressure, and entirely committed to your case, your future, and your peace of mind, there is no one I would recommend more highly than John Refermat. He is a remarkable lawyer and an even more remarkable human being.

I had the pleasure of meeting and working as co-counsel with John on a case several years ago and he has been a loyal friend and trusted colleague since. As a solo practitioner, it is always comforting to have another attorney to discuss case strategy with and John has always been there for me when I... needed it. He is the consummate professional; hardworking, responsive and insightful. He is a zealous advocate and a well-respected litigator. It is with great trust and confidence that I have referred a number of my own clients to John for litigation assistance.

Mr. Refermat is the epitome of professionalism, integrity and compassion. I have found him to be extremely thorough, very clear in his explanations and interested in my welfare. He is a very honest and principled person whom I would refer without hesitation to family and friends. Lacy Katzen is fort...unate to have a person of this caliber in the practice.

John always responded in a timely fashion to phone calls and emails. He took the time to understand the intricacies of our case. Formed a sound strategy and executed it. Always gave us confidence in our case but explained both sides of it. If my future depended on a case this is the lawyer I woul...d hire.
