Highly recommend. This fella is a godsend

I had a child custody case in Luzerne County PA. The mother was very uncooperative with me in seeing my son while also manipulating my family in order to see him as well. John got rite on the paper work and everything was in motion that week. Within the same month after filing, I was in front of the ...masters with the upper hand signing my granted custody order. Fantastic job, very professional, excellent communication, and devoted to his profession. 100% satisfied.

Caution!!!!

Worst lawyer I've ever used very cocky thinks he's the greatest lawyer ever and I watch a public defender put him to shame he's way to cocky. Pretty sad a public defender put him in his place while my husband laughed at us in the hall way after the hearing stay away from him if your going to family c...ourt!!!!!!!!!! Better off getting a free one don't believe me give him a try and you'll see.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
