Children school substitute teacher

Attorney John Mesirow is one of the best lawyers in the area in my opinion. I was referred to his office a long time ago, but I was hesitant to hire him as my lawyer since (at the time) I didn’t trust any lawyer. I had a few negative experiences with people from the legal arena, so I was very distrus...tful. When I met Attorney Mesirow, I just decided to trust him but, in the end, I realized that he was a talented lawyer and very honest. I really mean that. During the time he was working on my case, he would communicate with me via phone, text or email. He is easygoing and never got irritated whenever I had questions. He worked for me, and I never had to worry about doing paperwork because he took care of everything. He made the case easy for me since we had so many medical issues at home. Whenever I called him to ask him a question (even if I thought it was silly), to him, it was as if no question was stupid. He always answered all my questions, and he was always available. He is knowledgeable and very talented in his field, and I know I can trust him as my lawyer. He communicated with us in a way that was easy for me to understand, and he always understood our situation at home. I appreciated his patience very much. I would recommend him as a lawyer because he is very competent, honest, and professional. His explanation was straightforward from the beginning. My son and I are thankful for all his help. I will always be grateful having had him as our attorney. Sincerely, Carmen Hanna

John is an amazing person before he is an amazing lawyer. He understands how I feel as an injured person from an auto accident, very depressed and sad. He came to me like a savior and an angel, especially from a long long distance where I couldn't get anybody else's help. Throughout 2 years of lon...g suffering period of litigation, John's attitude was consistently secure, kind and compassionate so I could keep my hopes up. Finally I got an amazing result that compensated all of my sufferings and pains and more. Thank you! John! Excellent person! Excellent lawyer! Two Thumbs up for you!

Awesome Personal Injury Attorney

John Mesirow's law firm - Mesirow & Associates - provided personal injury counsel in my pedestrian accident case in late 2019. It was a very traumatic experience. The firm worked very hard on my behalf and I am very pleased with the outcome of the case. In researching for lawyers I came across Jo...hn’s firm and noted that it was a small firm with great reviews. So, I decided to check it out. When I met John at his office I found him to be approachable, personable, easy-going and transparent. Based on his many years of experience, John was able to walk me through what to expect in cases like mine - including legalities, the firm’s obligations, my obligations, etc. He also answered my questions. The discussion led to a clear and precise understanding on my part. So I decided to move forward. As a result, my case progressed smoothly with no surprises. Once resolved, I had no regrets. John is awesome at what he does. I would recommend him to anyone who needs legal representation in the area of personal injury.

Awesome Lawyer great staff.

I enjoyed every step of the way with Mr. Mesirow and the awesome staff. The way they stepped in and made sure i was able to get fair results for the accident that occurred was more then what was asked of them.

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.
