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

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

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 expl...aining 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

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.
