Please stay away

Thrift Store service for Niemen Marcus price with an attitude of George Castanza's mother. You are better off representing yourself.

John L. Welsh, II, Attorney at Law

John Welsh ll, Att at Law from Lawrenceville, Ga took thousands from us and did nothing. Have all kinds of proof but in Gwinnett County anything goes I guess. Always has, always will. He takes $2000 on 9/21/15 and runs to the bank right away for it. We got our background checks, paid for them, to...ok them to his office. We try and call, leave messages and go to office to leave messages. Nothing. On 10/5/16 he wants another $2000 (I knew I should have went with my gut and left then, figured he blowing smoke up my ass and telling me lies for more funds) but I wrote another $2000 and he was at my bank again within minutes (as they called me). We had to re-do our background checks again, pay for them and take them to his office. Again he does not respond or do anything. Initially he told us this would only take 6-12 months. My husband checked around, it should only take that. So my husband sends an e-mail and he gives him some run around about how it takes a long time. We finally sent a certified letter on 4/11/17 for a statement and refund (signed for 2 days later) 2 months ago but of course we hear nothing. The normal with this attorney. Never hear from him. Today is 6/5/17, never heard a word again.

Conservatorship, Guardianship and Estate Management

I have to say hands down Mr. John Welsh is the best attorney I have ever had. Mr. Welsh was my saving grace in helping me survive the process of handling my late husbands affairs. I was completely lost and was about ready to give up and somehow I found Mr. Welsh. Within one visit I had hope again t...hat somehow things might be possible. He stepped right in and took charge and has been unbelievably amazing in every way. I was a happily married woman and stay at home mom of three "little" children when my worst nightmare happened, my husband of 10+ years hit a tree in the black ice of January 2015 and suffered a traumatic brain injury and remained in a coma for 8 months before he passed away. My case was far from simple, my husband was young and had no will plus he had a fairly new business that he had started, not to mention we had 3 young kids. My husband handled all the affairs outside of the household stuff and left me completely lost when he hit that tree. This all made my case become more and more complicated as time went on. Not to mention the mistakes I had made trying to apply for my husbands estate myself with the court. Mr. Welsh was able to take what I had done and completely turn it around for us. He became like family to my kids, myself and even my mother. His assistant Heather was always happy and welcoming, quick to respond to my needs or questions and even when the kids and I were there we always felt more like we were with family than at an attorneys office. They had toys for my kids to play with and were very accepting of having children around, making me much more comfortable and able to concentrate. He is a very kindhearted and thoughtful man and I could tell he had only our best interest at heart. Even to the point of being concerned that I needed to eat after a long day at the courthouse, and urging me to take care of myself. I wish there was a way to convey with words how grateful I am to Mr. Welsh and to Heather- for all their hard work on my case, but words are not adequate to how thankful I am to have had the help of such a kind and caring lawyer. I don't know what I would have done without Mr. Welsh!!!!! If you want an attorney who will treat you like his own family then Mr. John Welsh is it, he's absolutely wonderful in every way. And even my kids loved him... Wonderful attorney and I highly recommend him to everyone!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I hired this attorney to help me with a foreclosure. He was very helpful early on. Suddenly, and without any explanation whatsoever, he stopped communicating with me completely. I called him dozens of times and left dozens of voice mails to inquire about my retainer or any information I could get as ...to why he stopped returning my calls or doing anything with my case and still received no response. To this day, I have not heard a single word from him.
