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 revie...wing 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 hi...s 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 ves...ted 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!
