Very pleased with his knowledge , quick response and attitude.

I was in need of a trust and I had questions. He was prompt in returning my call, very knowledgeable about all aspects of the trust and up to speed on changing laws that, depending on my pace, may have affected me. I was able to get ahead of the curve because of his willingness to help a new client t...hat day. I choose John again when it came to counseling regarding additional needs. He was prompt and pro-active with the advice and help he gave. Johns help and attitude are second to none in my experience. I would highly recommend him for any legal needs you may have.

One of most helpful professional I have ever performed business with!

I would have to say John is one of the most helpful professionals I have ever performed business with. His services are top notch, and his knowledge is in valuable. He always gets back to you in a very timely manner with very precise and accurate information that goes beyond answering the question y...ou proposed. I would and have recommended him to family, friends and colleagues and look forward towards doing business with him again in the future for other needs. Thanks so much John for all that you do!

Great Experience

I was at a gunshow in Richmond, VA last Summer (July of 2015) when I heard John's name brought up in reference to establishing an NFA trust. I took one of his business cards that the VCDL was kind enough to offer from their table, and decided I would call him on the ride home. It was a Sunday afterno...on so I expected to leave a message and to receive some sort of response in a day or two once the work-week rolled back around. Well, John picked up on the second ring. We got to talking and I provided some basic info for him about what I wanted. It was all very simple and expedient. Within an hour or two my trust was drafted and ready to go, all I had to do was print it out and get it notarized which, quite honestly, was more of a hassle than was dealing with John. He made what could very well be an onerous and intimidating process into a breeze. I will confidently hire John for any legal service I may (hopefully not) need in the future.
