Outstanding Legal Representation

My wife and I have been working with Attorney Hollawell over the last two years since I was rear-ended in a car accident. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking for an attorney! All of our interactions were positive and professional. John is an extremely knowledgable and experienced attorne...y. He knows the Lehigh Valley Healthcare systems and was not only able to offer sound legal advice, he also gave me recommendations of doctors for my medical care. John was fully invested in my case and I felt he truly valued my health and recovery during the entire process. John was always available to discuss the case, keep us updated on any progress and answer any questions we had. He promptly returned our calls. This greatly helped to reduce my levels of stress because I always felt that John was thinking about my situation and was diligently working toward a result. John made it clear from the very beginning that I was part of all decisions related to my case and he consistently did a wonderful job of explaining all of my options at each point of the process. This all led to a fair and favorable outcome for which I have Attorney Hollawell to thank. This was the first time I ever had to go through something like this and having John as my attorney made a difficult situation more manageable and less overwhelming. Again, I would highly recommend Attorney Hollawell to any person in need of outstanding legal representation. Garen

Medical Insurance Settlement

John, was as good as could possibly be from start to finish with my claim against the tractor trailer that crashed into my car. I had a severe concussion, requiring months of PT. But I am not a surgical candidate & have to live with neck/shoulder issues. John was able to get their insurance compan...y to double the offer, which matched the very high end of what we thought we might get. Every step of the way John & his team explained the process & clearly he's as knowledgeable & as experienced as you would want. I would recommend John without any hesitation!

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!
