      Review John Sawyer

      Excellent bankruptcy attorney.

      I was a client of Mr. Sawyer. Subsequently I referred a relative to him. He resolved these matters swiftly, according to plan, and very smoothly. I refer anyone considering a possible bankruptcy filing to his office. His partner is also very good. And his staff is very professional and responsive. And, if your situation involves the need to dispose of real estate, he can refer you to a broker specializing in sales by owners in these difficult circumstances.

      I have referred friends, co-workers, and family members to Mr. Sawyer for consultation and advice over the last thirty years. After speaking to him, every person I have referred has hired him for their legal situation, be it bankruptcty, adoption, real estate, divorce, business formation, or a simple Will or Trust. He provides excellent advice with thorough and easily understandable directions on what needs to be done, in what order and when. His fees are reasonable and he extends himself to early hours to accommodate client schedules. I have also worked with him and for him on many matters and would heartily recommend him as an attorney for anyone in need of his expertise.

      Mr Sawyer had been an incredible resource for me as I had to navigate through a complicated tax situation and Chapter 13 filing. He kept me informed throughout the full process, helped me to stay in the plan throughout the 5 years and ultimately assisted me in having successfully completed the plan. I highly recommend him and trust him to resolve any situation. He has a respected reputation with the court and this was critical in reaching successful solutions to challenging circumstances.

      Mr Sawyer handled a Chapter 13 for me. He is extremely knowledgeable, let me know exactly what to expect and kept me informed every step of the way. If I had any questions and called the office, he or a staff member always got back to me promptly. He made what started as a very stressful situation much easier.

      I recommend John D. Sawyer

      I had difficulties with my mortgage along with my other outstanding debt and no way out. The first person I thought of was Mr. John D. Sawyer, I have known and relied on his legal support for the past 20 years and find he is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. I have been going back to Mr. John D. Sawyer time and time again and also referred him to my families and friends. What I like about him is that he kept me informed during the process and of any important information that comes up and provides me with advises on future matters resulting from my actions. I highly recommend Mr. John D. Sawyer to anyone out there seeking his area of expertise, especially with difficult bankruptcy matters.
