I have worked with John for a number of years now as his client. He has been very prompt and professional. He will always give you his best advice and opinion regarding your case. John has treated me with dignity and respect. I would not hesitate to hire John again for my legal matters.

I have been working with John for about 10 years. He has always done a good job for us and tries to look at all angles of a case. Number one reason I work with him is he will call you back, so if you have a phone, you have a lawyer

My go to Attorney

I have worked with John for several years in my career which includes two different companies. John earned my respect as an advocate for business by handling many collection issues for our auto finance company. Sometimes this included defending us from litigious and Pro Se customers who were attemp...ting to be enough trouble to make us go away. John has proven himself to be the best value in attorneys in the DC area. I have always found him to be approachable, professional, easy to reach and one of the few who return a call in a timely manner. His diligence and attention to detail is refreshing and while no one likes to have to involve their attorney, I have never hesitated to feel confident about any issue we face, as long as John is involved in the decision making.

Business, tax & real estate issues & other financial interests

Mr. Griffin was referred to me by a mutually admired elected official. I know why! As a successful businesswoman, I have complex & immediate requirements. In all cases, John has exceeded my expectations. His integrity is unquestioned, which is the essential factor of every successful lawyer, who repr...esents me. Even my significant other, a Judge, was impressed with John. He is representing me on a complex real estate matter & I will review again-- happily. I have used many lawyers throughout my career. I never had to be concerned about billing practices here & I cannot report this about other representation. John is a sharp lawyer, with compassion & will give you a break also. I now consider John & his family friends. You can trust John's knowledge, skill, education and you can trust he has excellent communication skills also- with very little ego. But when you are good- you do know it-

Patient, Knowledgable, Competent

I came to John Griffin with respect to a sizable loan I made in the course of conducting business. Of course, I had flawed documentation, flawed contracts with my counterparty and a pessimistic attitude about my prospects of recovering anything. John gave wise, fair advice. He calmed me down when ...I went over the top and worked methodically to get a substantial settlement for me. I highly recommend John.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
