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

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.

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.
