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 deserve...d. 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 l...ike 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.
