This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

A Real Gentleman - Open, Helpful, and Generous with His Time & Experience

I contacted Dr. Loftin regarding a matter for which I may need an attorney. He invited me in and discussed the matter at length, despite not being "on the clock" and me not being a client. A credit to Hillsborough.

Estate Litigation/ Will Caveat

Professional, Genuine, Caring and Passionate are just a few of the adjectives to describe John Loftin. My wife and I hired John's firm to handle our Estate Litigation/Will Caveat case that we were involved in. We went into the Mediation not sure what to expect or even how it worked. John outlined wha...t was happening, and what was going to happen and kept reassuring us that our game plan was still in tact. His mediation skills far exceeded our expectations. John took a very stressful situation that were in and made it very comforting for us. John's firm was recommended to us by a friend and we highly recommend him for your legal needs!

Highly recommend

I hired John Loftin to represent my son who was in an accident and received several citations. Mr. Loftin wisely advised him on the steps he could take to help his case and as a result all charges were dropped. I am very grateful for his expertise and council in this matter.

Speeding Ticket

John has handled a speeding ticket for me. He was very prompt in letting me know what I was to expect and what the outcome would be. And sure enough, he got my ticket reduced and saved me a bunch of money! Thanks John!

  • 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.
