All Lawyers Should Be Like Him

Mr. Lhota was professional while also being down to earth. He took the time to thoroughly explain every thing that was going on / what to expect during the process. He was also readily avaiable to answer any questions I might have had. I would recommend him to anybody, and would turn to him first if ...I again am in need of legal services in the future.

Pleased and relieved client!

I have not a single complaint about the services provided by John Lhota and the law firm. I had approached other people but liked John best. I don’t know much about legal issues but John took us through all of them with normal easy to understand language which was greatly appreciated. He was alway...s efficient and punctual with information and very clear and concise. THANKS JOHN!!

Very courteous and helpful in every manner

John is a great lawyer. He was very patient and answered all my questions thourougly. He also made sure to take the time to explain everything to me to make sure I understood what was happening. On top of all of this he was very prompt and always polite with the replies. This really helped to make th...e overall experience of getting a lawyers assistance less daunting than it seems. I truly do appreciate John's help and would highly recommend him to anyone who may be considering to use his services.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
