A great lawyer - and a great person!
This past year, I have gone through a very difficult divorce. Thank goodness, John Miskey was always there to back me up. Even when circumstances became very emotional and contentious, he managed to remain calm and focused. He clearly had my best interets at heart; and, like a good friend, could ...
"I am impressed with Mr. Miskey's thoughtful advice and answers to legal questions on Avvo. He has an in-depth understanding of the law and an ability to communicate legal concepts clearly and effectively. I endorse this lawyer!"
"John Miskey is an accomplished attorney who works hard for his clients. As opposing counsel he is always seeking ways to resolve disputes without litigation, but is a fierce litigator when he needs to be. John is an excellent addition to our legal community."
"John is a highly intelligent family law attorney. He also has a terrific personality - an intriguing combination. I have worked with John as my co counsel on family law cases. He works tirelessly (nights / week ends / whatever it takes to get the best results for the client). He understands the domestic client and what it takes to get the job done - with excellence. John is a great attorney and a great human being."
"I endorse this lawyer. John is extremely professional, courteous, and is willing to work diligently with opposing counsel to discover resolutions for the parties that may save time and avoid costly litigation. Working with a colleague like John is a pleasure."
"John has an excellent reputation in the community for being an excellent advocate for his clients. He also does a brilliant job working with his client to help them understand where to fight and where not to fight."
"John is an excellent attorney who aggressively represents his clients through both litigation and mediation. He is very knowledgeable and practical in his advice and achieves optimal results for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. John is a zealous and grounded advocate for his clients. He is knowledgeable on the law, responsive to his clients, and respectful to counsel and all those with whom he works."
"John's compassion for his clients is only matched by his ability to zealously protect his client's rights. He knows the law, and he goes above and beyond, often working into the night after everyone else has gone home. Given his busy practice, I am also impressed by his volunteer work with the Women's Center in Chapel Hill. He is a professional who cares about his clients, his colleagues and his community. I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer and am lucky to call him friend. You would be lucky to call him your lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I've had the pleasure of meeting John on several occasions and discussing family law related issues. He knows his stuff and I have no reservations about referring people to him."
"I endorse this lawyer. I was able to work closely with Attorney Miskey. He worked diligently and full force for a client we shared. His attention to detail makes him an excellent attorney."
"I have had the privilege of working as co-counsel with John in a recent case in Pitt County. He is a tremendous attorney with a very high work ethic. Throughout working together I remained extremely impressed by his ability to communicate and assist in moving the case forward. He has a tremendous amount of respect and appreciation for the difficult position a typical domestic client may find themselves during very trying times. I look forward to working with John again in the future and referring prospective clients his way."
"John is a highly competent and qualified attorney. He works closely with his clients to ensure that their needs are met. I have had the opportunity to work with John on several projects and found him to be an outstanding advocate."
