John Francis Rooney V

I hired John after he was recommended to me by a colleague. He was able to see me in a timely manner and made me feel I was in smart capable hands and my legal problem would be solved as long as I did the steps he laid out for me. He is very good in the courtroom and was always on top of everything w...ith the legal issue. In the end it all worked all very well for me. I would definitely hire him again if the need arises-hopefully it will not!!

I hired John Rooney when I found myself in some legal trouble. Not only were John's fees very reasonable, he proved to be extremely effective and knowledgeable in the court room. Throughout the entire process, John took the time to explain each step and what to expect, since this was my first exper...ience with the legal system. When I was wrongfully charged with a felony, he realized this and successfully fought the charge and got it dropped, which was absolutely huge. Ultimately I pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge, since I did commit that crime, and the Philadelphia DA was unwilling to offer any sort of plea deal. When the sentence was harsher than expected (house arrest), John filed a motion to reconsider, which worked, and got the sentenced reduced to just probation; a punishment more inline with the crime and my lack of any criminal record prior to this incident. Without John's experience and assertiveness, I could very well have ended up behind bars. I basically owe my freedom to him.

After being burned by a contractor when rehabbing my newly purchased home, I hired John Rooney to take the case to small claims court. This was an FHA 203(k) purchase, so the details were complicated due to the nature of the loan. John researched my unique case extensively, and was able to brillian...tly articulate his arguments to an extremely tedious judge. After 4 hours in the courtroom and various white-boarding sessions, John won the case for me with a judgement of $6,000. This man knows how to lawyer.

Very knowledgeable, professional, and down to earth. Was straightforward and told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. Went out of his way to accommodate my schedule. But what impressed me the most was, though he could have done what most lawyers do, and tried to convince me to ta...ke the case to the next level, which would have benefited him financially, he cared more about the best interest of my children involved in the case and did his best to find alternative mediation methods. Furthermore, he did not nickle-and-dime me. His fees were exactly what he say they would be, and they were more than reasonable for such a complex case. I would not hesitate to highly recommend him to loved ones.
