Excellent, knowledgeable, gets the job done

John and his team have a can do attitude that is very important in Real Estate. John can discuss the issues on a 1st time home buyer level as well as teach a class to other attorneys on the specific legal changes of our time. The work is flawless, I cant count how many closings we have done with Joh...n and his team... and I'm a numbers guy! As a lender in a fast paced real estate environment, it is important to have a great working relationship with an attorney - we have that with John, and are blessed to continue the relationship. John has also been able to help my family with our wills and estate planning - this was handled efficiently and thoroughly with great care and expertise. It's never easy to discuss these types of things, but John was able to break it down in ways that was easy for my wife and I to set our family up if something tragic were to happen. In a nutshell, there are certain things in life that you can pretty much go anywhere, or use anyone.... this is not one of them - I highly recommend John and his team to anyone who needs help with Real Estate, Estate Planning, or Business Law... he's helped me with all 3!

Incredible knowledge and superior service level!

As a realtor I have recommended John Overfield and his staff and used them for my personal legal needs for over 20 years. I have never experienced anything but the best quality of service and attention to detail. John Overfield and his staff alway can be counted on to provide the most professional ex...perience for any client and myself and my family. I cannot recommend this practice enough!

Worst lawyer I ever retained

Did my closing on my home, too many mistakes. I would never hire him again.

Unresponsive

Hired to update will and power of attorney. Multiple email and phone attempts were made to reach their office to update documents with no response. Once I was able to reach their office, it was explained that they had been too busy with closings to respond. Responsive remains an important ingredie...nt in the overall quality and effectiveness of an attorney/client relationship.
