Highest recommendations

Requesting the courts as grandparents for permission be allowed to intervene is a difficult legal road. Requesting full legal custody takes this to a new level. It is painful and exhausting. John’s expertise in keeping firm focus, ability to separate the detail in importance of fact versus fluff, hi...s ability in concise detail and how this is articulated to the decision makers is stand alone. Close to twenty (20) plus years of documentation and keeping this Grandma in check was no easy task. John accepted this challenge. Each time we have gone into court confident that we were prepared and our attorney was knowledgeable on the laws and would navigate as required. John sincerely had our granddaughter’s best interest at heart. He was gentle and sincerely kind to a traumatized 8 year old. I do not believe many can say they trust their attorney however we do. We recommend John at every level of family conciliation and family court. His READINESS, RESPONSE and his RESULT need no introduction. Forever grateful.

John is a master

I highly recommend John if you are looking for an answer. He’s absolutely the most professional and elaborate speaker I’ve encountered. He knows the legal system like the back of his hand . Straight to the point and gets the job done . John and Lisa represented me for Feldstein I’m a John and Lisa... represented me for Feldstein and McKee. I can’t think of how many good things I could say about John but I absolutely consider him to be one of the greatest attorneys I’ve come across .

excellent work for our case

John was excellent in our case explaining the in's and out's of every detail as we approached them. We would highly recommend him in any custody case as was ours. John is the one to go to with the answer to the solution.

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.
