John Lafitte Warren III's Lawyer Endorsements
"Having known John Warren for the better part of a decade, I can say without hesitation he is one of the brightest legal minds in the State of South Carolina. While there are more seasoned attorneys in the state, few exhibit his level of zealous advocacy for their client while maintaining a decorum of professionalism with peers and opposing counsel. Whether John is assisting in matters of personal injury or criminal defense, he consistently exhibits a knowledge and intellect of the law few grasp. It is a pleasure to work with John and a welcomed challenge to oppose him."
"John is an excellent attorney who has extensive experience handling cases in both State and Federal Court. From complex civil litigation to criminal matters, John has the background, intellect and work ethic to get the job done. His time working as a law clerk at the South Carolina Supreme Court makes him uniquely qualified to provide the best possible service to his clients. I would not hesitate to recommend John to a friend or family member."
"I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Mr. Warren for many years now. I can truly say he is a brilliant legal mind who works very hard for his clientele. I vehemently endorse and recommend Mr. Warren for anyone seeking superb legal representation throughout South Carolina."
"Attorney Warren's dedication to his clients is unmatched. He is a trustworthy, passionate, and knowledgeable advocate. I would wholeheartedly endorse him for any type of legal matter."
