I found myself in trouble with some DUI issues and felt hopeless after talking with a PD. I knew I needed help fast and needed the best.

Very happy client!
John guided and defended me through a difficult case and I am thrilled with the probation settlement he was able to arrange. On more than one occasion people I've interacted with in the criminal justice system when learning the details of my case, have expressed that "I must have an incredible lawye...

Small Claims Hero
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...

Saved my Life
I hired Mr. Rooney to represent me in a criminal case in Montgomery County PA. My previous attorney brought an offer from the prosecutor calling for 6 moths of confinement. If I took that offer I would lose my job, my home, car, etc. I needed a lawyer that was knowledgeable and respectful but not afr...
John Francis Rooney V's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have been a practicing trial attorney for over 20 years. What I have found in my 20 plus years of litigation experience is that attorneys rarely fail because of a lack of intelligence. When they fail, it is usually because of a lack of will, work ethic and competitive spirit. They don't teach those things in law school. You either have them or you don't. John Rooney has them and that is why I am endorsing him. John is a smart, fiercely competitive attorney whose primary focus is on winning and not on making money. Too many lawyers have a primary focus on making money, failing to understand that money will take care of itself if you put your heart and your soul into your work. I know there are a lot of self-promoters out there in the legal community and it is difficult for the public to sort through what is real and what is not real. If you meet John Rooney, you will see that what I have said about him is real."
"20% of a trial lawyer's work on a case produces 80% of the results. The trick for a lawyer is knowing which issues to focus on, and John instinctively knows how to cut to the chase, focusing on the real issues in the case and the most persuasive way to present them. I've referred multiple clients to John (both people charged with crimes and people in civil litigation) and have heard nothing but praise. I've told people to hire him over whole teams of lawyers at big, prominent firms — because he will produce the same or better results at a far more reasonable price."
"I enthusiastically endorse John for legal representation. It is not only his skill with the law and in the courtroom that sets him apart, but his level of detail and tenacity put into each case. He treats his clients with the utmost respect, dignity, and compassion."
"Top notch attorney"
"Simply said, John is an outstanding criminal attorney. Highly recommended!"
"John is a sharp and aggressive personal injury and criminal attorney , who is dedicated to client service. I have nothing but good things to say about the job that he does for his clients, and do not hesitate to refer him to my clients for help on types of cases I don't work on."
"John Rooney is an outstanding Trial Attorney with a reputation for being tough, diligent, and well-prepared. I endorse John and recommend him to anyone in the Philadelphia area who finds a need for a great criminal attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
