John Discave - the Ultimate Attorney!

My disenchantment with the legal process ended with John Discavage. Naively, I believed all attorney's were as professional and ethical. This came back to haunt me in the form of Felony charge while going through a divorce. Without the expertise of John Discavage, I'd be sitting in prison. He ...took my case late from an incompetent attorney and restored my faith in a justice system that failed me. Most importantly, he guided me through an overwhelming process with patience and kindness. He acted as the ultimate advocate. Additionally, his retainer was as reasonable as his rate and repayment terms were great!

THIS LAWYER IS AWESOME- I WILL NOT USE ANYONE ELSE

I've used this lawyer for a personal injury case AND a divorce. He was professional, knowledgeable AND honest. His office staff was friendly and courtious and easy to get ahold of. I would highly recommend him.

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.
