Conscientious Attorney who gives 100% to his clients
John Hollawell was recommended to me by another attorney. I was injured in an accident. He worked on my case for almost one year and his professionalism in handling my case was extraordinary. He shows such good morals and concern and has a lot of knowledge in his field. Attorney Hollawell kept me posted on every detail of my case. There was never a time I felt he didn't have my best interest in hand. He never left me feeling uneasy about all of the information given. He explained everything to me in my own terms. I would recommend him to anyone.

Legal service that went above and beyond!
I was involved in a auto accident in May of 2013 and was referred to Attorney Hollawell by a friend of my fathers. Never having been in this situation before I didn't know what to expect. Mr. Hollawell's knowledge and professionalism was second to none. He explained everything to me in great detail and in a language that I could understand. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of our case and I know I couldn't have done it without him. I would recommend Mr. Hollawell to anyone I know that is in need of a great attorney.

Car Accident
I was in a car accident and the treatment I was receiving was not helping with my pain. I was referred to John to represent me. John sent me to some really great drs. where i finally got some relief. John was always quick to return my calls if he didn't answer right away and reply back to any emails. He always kept me updated on the case and was a pleasure to have him represent me. Thanks John!

Wrongful Death Suit
I cannot express enough the integrity and commitment John Hollawell exhibits. I faced a tragedy in my life that I could have never expected, none the less it happened to me and has forever changed my life. John was referred to me from a past client and good friend of mine. Upon meeting John and reviewing my case, I felt confident and at ease. John explained the process, and what to expect during my case. John is very detailed oriented, and was in constant communication through the entire process. He is confident in his abilities and is aggressive, but holds a hidden compassion that made me feel at ease. I fully trusted John with my case and had no doubt he was going to do everything possible to settle my case. My case took about 1 1/2 years to complete, and with patience and perseverance we won our case. I was very committed, and did everything John instructed me to do. John awarded me the chance to allow my loved one to pass with dignity, which was the most important aspect to my case. I highly recommend John Hollawell if you need representation. John will always hold a special place in my life and I will be forever thankful for the work and dedication to representing me.

Car accident
John was an amazing lawyer ! This was my first time ever getting into an accident and needing help from a lawyer. John allowed my first experience to be smooth and was very patient with me. To be honest although John was my lawyer, the way he handled me and my case was like a father trying to help his daughter . My case was not an easy case but he remained in my corner and worked through my stubborn ways. He stayed on top of me and my case to make sure we were both always on the same page. He worked long and hard on my case and I truly appreciate him. John has also helped my father and my sister in their auto case and was a successful lawyer . One thing I must say he will not give up on you! John is one amazing man and I will recommend him to literally anybody that needs help, whether that’s for pedestrian accidents, car accidents, bicycle accident, personal injury, dog bites, etc. He does such a great, amazing job with it all and I truly truly appreciate his hard work and dedication. Hopefully I would never have to get put in this predicament again but I know if I did John will be my first and only choice of the perfect lawyer ! ThAnkyou John for being nothing but the best and working so excellent . ThAnkyou for taking your career seriously and fighting for your clients.

John is the best!
Just wanted to take a second and say how much my family and I truly appreciate all you've done for us and for my son and i! I want to thank you for always being available, for answering any and all of our questions, and for actually treating us like family more than a case! Thank you for taking a vested interest in or overall health and family and even Financial circumstances going forwards, and not simply keeping us at arms length as simply clients! This whole process has been very daunting but not from your end of things just the whole situation in general that we've had to go through and in some ways continue to. But I thank you for making it as painless as possible from the things that you needed for us to help us and I thank you for also helping and communicating with my wife during the early stages when I couldn't be of a lot of help to you. I am truly grateful that we came to meet your acquaintance and just know that we will gladly recommend you to anyone we come across as well as the fact that we will keep you in our prayers for your family and for your practice! Sincerely, The anfiteatro's

Excellent communication!
Attorney Hollawell was friendly, helpful, and very communicative with my case. I had direct communication with him at any time of the day, something I did not expect to experience. He kept me updated frequently throughout the process and was very informative. Thank you again Mr. Hollawell!

Excellent Auto Lawyer
My husband was in a bad car accident. We chose Attorney Hollawell through a friend who previously used this attorney. He is very professional, keeps you informed of what to do next and explains things clearly when you can't fully understand. I highly recommend him.

Injury lawyer at it's Best
Just wanted to start off by saying thank you so much John. This was my second time using John, The first time I used John I got over the top service. The second case that I used John it was the exact same service as first time. He treated me like his own family/ friend. John was up front with me explaining how the entire process should go. I never once had to call him up and ask about my case he regularly called me with any new updates. Even if he didn't have any new updates he would call to check up to see how everything thing is going. Words do not explain his services. I would give John more then 5 stars if I could. John got me the max we could get for my injury . Very Experienced , I would use john over and over again and recommend him to anyone. Thank you again, NIK

Best lawyer I have ever dealt with
He always communicated every step in my case to me and he always kept me in the loop with everything. Very professional. He took my case when no other lawyer would touch it. He had genuine compassion for my situation and went above and beyond all my expectations. I would absolutely use him again and I definitely recommend using him.

Amazing
He was an amazing lawyer. Him and I had a rough start at first because of my injuries due to my car accident but he did NOT give up on me. He is a very approachable person and actually treats you like a person unlike other lawyers. It was a long tough road for us but in the end he got what we deserved. I would recommend him to anyone.

A++ VERY SATISFIED
John Hollawell is a very good attorney. I was involved in a serious auto accident in 2018. John was referred to me by someone I know. I contacted john in the first week after the accident. John went out of his way to consult with me while I was in the hospital. John was very polite and talked to me like family. I am in my late 20's and I have never needed an attorney before so the whole process was very new to me. John took his time to educate me step by step throughout the entire process . John would always check in with me to see how everything was going and gave me updates. John truly cares about his clients. John got me a very nice settlement, he fights for what you deserve. John is extremely knowledgable and good at what he does. I will recommend him to anyone that needs a good attorney. I honestly cannot thank him enough for everything he did for me.

personal injury
In 2017 I was involved in an auto accident that resulted in a concussion. I contacted one of the heavily advertised law offices in the area and they declined the case because I didn't have full torte. A friend recommended Atty John W. Hollawell. John guided me through the process of restoration that include Allentown Concussion Center, LVHN, and Good Shepherd Hospital. Through John's legal representation I was awarded a generous settlement. I definitely recommend John and his office.

Amazing Lawyer
Mr. Hollawell has been very helpful with my case and I am grateful he took me on as a client because it is a smaller case. He has helped me get the maximum payouts from both insurance companies and has referred me to some good doctors. I would highly recommend him. He also cares about his clients very much so.

Best lawyer
I was in a car accident and was recommended to John. I got to say the amazing treatment I got from John was amazing. Every time I called there was never a voice mail or playing phone tags he answer and gave me results in minutes. I never believed I would get back for my total loss what I lost. He did a amazing job on getting more then what I thought I would get. Don’t hesitate to call him if you been a car accident or injury.
