Excellent lawyer - very personable and professional!

John is an excellent lawyer. Very personable and professional. He understood the case well and was able to navigate the case with the different elements that came up. He didn't rush the outcome and went back and forth with the different parties to try and get my father the maximum amount of money he ...could. John was recommended to me from a family member and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone I know. Thank you very much for your hard work!

Client

John was amazing! What set him apart from other firms I looked at was that he was so much more personable, knowledgeable, and no none sense I knew he would fight for my case and be a strong advocate for my best interest. He even gave me his cell phone number and was always quick to respond with quest...ions and happy to fully explain the full process or answer any questions I had in detail. This made me feel super comfortable and supported throughout the process. He has been doing this for a long time and knows the ins and outs of the law so well. He also is very skilled in negotiation and will fight to get everything I deserved. I would highly recommend John to any of my friends or family. I’m so glad to have had him as my lawyer couldn’t have asked for a better experience! If you find yourself in need of an accident lawyer and want personal and knowledgeable assistance John is the best person for the job. Patricia (paralegal) was also always extremely kind, helpful, and provided a quick response. Can’t thank you all enough.

Very helpful

Mr. Mesirow was extremely helpful and thorough in the consultation - although my case falls outside his specialized area of practice, he gave me a lot of advice that helped me handle my case and also referred me to his colleagues that would be able to give me more specific guidance on my legal matter.... Definitely recommend!

A very pleasant and professional experience

My experience with John was very pleasant. He was warm and approachable. He treated me with care, just like a family member. He has clear and effective communication skills. He responded promptly to all messages and concerns. Because of his approach, I felt like I had known him my entire life. His ...availability and empathy helped us build a relationship of trust. His credibility allowed me the peace of knowing that my case was in good hands. I am absolutely certain that the positive outcome of my dispute and resulting compensation were the result of his knowledge and dedication. I am convinced that I wouldn’t have had a similar result with another lawyer. Without a doubt, I give John my highest recommendations. I want to take the opportunity of this space to thank him once again for his commitment and hard work on my case.

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.
