    I've seen John in action for about two years now. I can tell potential clients that he will bring a fresh and knowledgeable approach to defending you. He was mentored by a friend and an exceptional litigator who has since moved on to a different field. You cannot go wrong with John representing you in your time of trouble. For these reasons, I endorse him. Chris
