Best,honest,knowledgeable attorney in town

I was stuck with multiple bad attorneys for serious and complicated motor vehicle/personal injury accident that went on for 3 years. Mr.Fox defended me and settled the case like a magic that no one else could have done in entire philly area. Honest, knowleagble, efficient, trustworthy, and profession...al attorney ever!!! Highly recommended!

Professional and Responsive

I was in a car accident in 2015 that required multiple forms of therapy for a period of approximately 6 months following the accident and regular appointments with a neurologist for approximately a year following the accident. John was very professional and responsive from when I first contacted him ...(on a Saturday) through the end of the insurance claim. The driver that hit me did not have sufficient coverage, so John had to submit an under-insured claim to my own company. I was happy with the outcome and John's responsiveness throughout the claim. John explained everything throughout the process and we managed to settle out of court, which made the process easier on me. I would highly recommend John.

Best Lawyer

about a year ago I had an unfortunate accident, and fell down a flight of 14, steps, rendering me unconscious, along with various other net and had contusions. As almost everyone does. They look on the website for a lawyer who they think may be able to help them. I actually called over eight differen...t attorneys before I reached Fox Law Firm. After speaking with John on the phone and explaining the situation, uncharacteristic as it may seem, Mr. Fox came to the scene of my fall the very next day. He brought with him a camera to take pictures, which ultimately captured the unmistakable neglect by the maintenance department at the place of the injury. I was surprised at the attention and consideration that Mr. Fox provided. I know a good amount of attorneys, and I can say without doubt that John Fox is by far the most caring and sensitive attorney towards his clients. Not only did John Fox. Keep in constant contact with me throughout my entire ordeal, but I feel that he went far and above the call of duty of the attorney client relationship. And by going far and above the call of duty. I mean that he consistently called me to make sure that I was okay, while informing me of the progress of my case. Surprisingly,, it didn't take Mr. Fox long to put pressure on the defendants on a constant basis. Which in return pushed the defendants to settle in less than one year for a good amount of money. What also surprised me about Mr. Fox and his law firm was that you could actually speak to John if he was in the office immediately or he would call you back directly. I found this to be incredibly surprising giving that most attorneys could care less about their clients. I highly recommend John Fox law firm to anyone who is in need of a great attorney.

Impressive in the Courtroom!

I was in a car accident head on collision and suffered 2 ruptured cervical discs. John was great to work with at a difficult time. He has a soothing demeanor. He gave me excellent advice, kept me updated on my case and returned my calls promptly. He was unbelievable in the courtroom with an effec...tive but understated presence. He knew when to speak up and when to let the other side dig themselves into a hole. At the end of the trial the jury awarded a large award. I would definitely use John again if I needed a Personal Injury lawyer.
