Unprofessional. Pushy.

If you're a father looking to get out of paying child support this is your guy! He will allow you to send in nothing but some random numbers typed up from "your business" while dragging the mother all over the ends of the earth to retain any and all of her financial output/input. In the end I was pre...ssured by him and his client to "make signing this a priority" because his client couldn't make it to court.

Complicated Divorce

John offered great council while dealing with my divorce. The emotions from all sides can sway your thinking and approach. John was brilliant in knowing when to be aggressive but also when to show compassion. Realizing that all sides have a point of view and acknowledging that during the heat of n...egotiations was extremely valuable. My divorce was complicated with the other party using multiple opposing councils during the process to muddy the facts and to extend the cost. With every new attorney on the opposing side John was able to provide the detail and rational for the decisions that were made during mediation and finally in the court. John is extremely well versed in the law governing divorce while applying the practically to achieve positive outcomes. This approach saved thousands in fees while achieving a balanced outcome. One of the most difficult times of my life John was able to bring order to chaos and allow me to move on to a far better place. I was truly blessed in having John represent me along with his team.

TOP NOTCH LAWYER

JOHN MOSS is a top notch lawyer who goes above and beyond for his clients. My daughter needed a lawyer to combat some allegations from her former boyfriend. He asked the hard questions and proved in court that she was not guilty. Thanks John!

AMAZING

Let me just start by saying that John is amazing at his job. I would HIGHLY recommend ANYONE to retain Mr. Moss as their counsel. My case was very tumultuous and John made me feel so safe and taken care of. The genuine care that he displayed was beyond anything I could have asked for. I truly believe... he was made for me and my specific case. John was able to do everything that I asked and the outcome of my case was EXACTLY what I wanted. Thank you so much John!
