Excellent insight and advice

An attorney I would highly recommend

John James McAneney's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known John Mac for over 25 years. I can give him my unqualified recommendation. John is one of the smartest attorneys I have worked with in my 40+ years of practice. John cuts immediately to the important core of the problem and then gives advice which focuses on the practical solution and which will accomplish the goal in the most direct and cost-efficient manner. John and I were law partners until about 10 years ago until I relocated my practice to my current firm. The best evidence of the high regard I have for John is that I have used him in regard to some personal legal issues that are outside my personal area of expertise."
"I readily endorse John. He and I were opposing counsel on a difficult intra-family dispute that at one point, following a unexpected catastrophe, seemed irresolvable. Many attorneys might have given up, but John saw the catastrophe as an opportunity. We spent the next several weeks in difficult but productive negotiations that culminated in a settlement satisfactory to all."
"I have worked with John on many different matters over the years, and often recommend him to friends and family looking for solid, practical advice for their estate and business needs. The fact that John was a CPA for 20 years and holds and LL.M. in Tax gives him a special set of knowledge and insight that serves his clients well."
"I endorse John. He and I worked on opposite sides of a difficult case which ultimately resolved in a fair way. He is always well prepared and is pleasant to deal with. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of a good lawyer."
"I have known John for a number of years and worked with him on a very complex matter. John is professional and always prepared. John works hard to secure the best possible outcome for his clients. I would highly recommend John."
