John Kevork Karanian

I cannot understate the regard that I hold John Karanian in. He is a fantastic attorney. In the beginning of my divorce we discussed what my goals were and what my restraints were, especially my budget. Here at the end, all the goals have been exceeded in ways I could scarcely hope for in the beginni...ng. He kept my budget in mind the whole time. I knew at the beginning that I has two choices One was to micromanage my divorce, the other was to let John lead the charge. I let John lead the charge and personally believe that was the best possible use of John's talents. When it came to the case he was no nonsense and methodical. Every move we made was well prepared for before hand. Even though he was leading the charge he let me know what was going on and why. My Ex was trying to play games with custody, property and support. Every week would come a new demand or request from her. John sliced through those obstacles incredible efficiency. I would be frustrated, angry or just plain upset but John's calm cool way of handling her games was amazing. When you go through a divorce there is no shortage of advice you get from people, especially ones that have never had a divorce. My polite response was, "I will consult my lawyer about that." I would ask John about it later and he would explain to me why it was not, almost always, a good idea or how my case was different. John was very patient about this process and understood what I was dealing with. John was very responsive with my emails and phone messages. It was rare that John did not get back me the same day. If he did not it was always at his earliest ability to respond. The entire staff at Barnes and Diehl were exceptional, especially Crystal. Crystal is John's assistant and she was always helpful, knowledgeable and made sure my concerns made it to John. John I cannot thank you enough.
