Great Lawyer!

John has done an outstanding job of representing me in my civil case. He advised me all the things I needed to do before my court date, which ended up helping a lot. With his help we got the best we could get for my situation when we went to court. He is very knowledgeable in the field of law and wor...ked hard to safeguard my interests. Very knowledgeable and experienced. Highly recommended!

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.
