"John offered his services to a pro bono workshop for veterans I spearheaded on two different occasions in Virginia Beach, giving a comprehensive presentation on wills, trusts and estates that was very well-received by the attendees. In general, John is wonderful at explaining legal matters in a matter that is absent of legal jargon, enabling individuals to understand their legal situation, what should be done, and how he can help them. John cares about his clients and works to find a solution that both meets their needs and fits their budget."
