About John
Biography
I entered the legal profession later in life than most people. In fact, I avoided the thought of attending law school for most of my life because I saw how involved the practice of law can be by watching my father bring his work home with him when he was a young attorney. At one point I told my father that I would never become an attorney like him because he worked all the time. It took me several years after making that statement to learn that if you enjoy what you do it does not necessarily seem like work.
After many different jobs, and experiences, I have become an attorney despite my earlier aspirations. I feel that my experiences provide me with a unique perspective in how I work with, and represent, my clients. In fact, I do not think I would be quite the same caliber of attorney that I am today if I had taken a more direct path to get here.
My approach to my work is simple, I am dedicated to my clients and my goal is to always work toward the best result possible. It is very rewarding for me to be in a position to help help people in need whether it is an estate matter, or a criminal matter. My goal is to always treat each client the way that I would like to be treated if I were in their shoes.

Andy Tomlinson is the first "True Grit" Lawyer I've ever met in this world. He was as solid as oak!
