Definitely would not recommend this guy

I too was told I had a deal to find out after there would also be 6 months of Prohibition I would have to complete on top of everything.

A true professional who really cares!

Unfortunately my past has led me to have many negative encounters with the law in Stafford County. I learned the hard way being represented by 3 different lawyers in the area. Truly defeated and very unhappy with my representation by the 3 previous law firms I turned to John and am so greatful I did.... From the beginning of my cases he took a personal interest in me and my family by answering telephone calls,text messages,emails and coming personally to the jail to keep me informed no matter the time of day,weekend or holiday. He walked me through all stages of the legal proceedings, procedures and processes. He was 100% upfront and honest about ALL possible outcomes from worst case to best case outcomes. Fortunately because of his professionalism,hard work,dedication and unprecedented reputation in the courthouse from the clerks to the prosecutors and judges we had very favorable outcomes in all my cases which were in front of 3 different judges including a sit in judge. He is a seasoned pro who takes the utmost pride in his clients. What really separated him from his peers is he helped me to a place in life where I am far less likely to take part in behaviors where I break laws. A trusted advisor who cares about helping and assisting when your facing potential sentences where the rest of your life is in jeopardy.

Dont trust what he tells you he just wants your money doesn't care about you.

He lead me to believe that he had a deal worked out to only pay a certain amount of restitution so I took the deal then found out 2 years later that they had agreed on 5 times more than we had agreed to and now I still have to pay which I never would have agreed to he is on the prosecutions side and ...only wants your money doesn't care what happens to you. Either he doesn't listen we'll or he just doesn't care.
