Posted by Kim | March 19, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Positive Experience from Day One

I was referred to Mr. Stembridge in regards to a potential legal matter by a family friend, who is also an attorney. John was candid, informed and open from the first conversation. He gave solid advice, pointed out the challenges and pain points for difference considerations; always listened to ...my thoughts....then let me make the final, now fully informed, decision on next steps. Throughout the process (about six month) I found John and his staff to be available and knowledgeable. I was updated immediately of any negotiation progress....and all in an easy, friendly fashion! Highly recommend for skilled, personal attention to your legal needs. Totally positive experience with results beyond my initial expectations.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"John and I have worked together extensively on wage and hour litigation as well as other employment law matters, and I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. He is knowledgeable, thorough, and dedicated. In zealously representing his clients' interests, he strikes a perfect balance between ardent advocacy and principled professionalism. He is a trusted advisor for me as a colleague with a very similar practice, and I would recommend him without hesitation to any business or individual looking for highly qualified representation on employment law matters, whether advising, litigation, or otherwise."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"John is a excellent attorney who knows how to litigate a case and represent his client's best interests. He is an expert in wage and hour litigation, but his breadth of knowledge of employment law is expansive and touches virtually every area that could concern an employer. As well as having a firm grasp of the law, John's practical skills in conducting a case are incomparable. John is a tough litigator who won't back down, and I would highly recommend him."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
