Joke of an attorney

Only hire this man if you want to lose everything. Horrible property and estate lawyer. Bills for everything including stamps but does NOT communicate when important. Waste of money!!!

Unprofessional and unresponsive

I had high hopes when I hired Attorney John Funkhouser to represent me, but my experience has been extremely disappointing. Despite the seriousness of my legal matter, Mr. Funkhouser failed to respond to correspondence from the opposing attorney, which has caused me significant complications and dela...ys in resolving my claim. Communication is critical in any legal case, and his lack of follow-through has left me feeling ignored and unrepresented. I cannot express enough my disappointment and frustration from making the mistake of hiring John Funkhouser. I have hired numerous attorneys over the years and none have even come close to his lack of professionalism and responsiveness. Read the other recent reviews! This isn’t an isolated incident. This is how he treats paying clients. DO NOT HIRE HIM! If you do, I GUARANTEE YOU WILL REGRET YOUR DECISION 100%!

Went to John for legal representation he has gone above and beyond to help us. John has our back in a terrible situation! He really cares about you as a person and what is going on. Great attorney and positive attitude. Working with him is great.

Reply to Dana

John was always upfront and professional with his representation for Dana. Also, all her money was refunded. It’s hard to represent someone who won’t follow the legal advise.
