Do you research before hiring John

I had a very bad experience with Mr Edmonson, I found him to be very lazy, unprepared for my workerscomp case, exaggerates on value of case, unprofessional and a hot head. Here's what happen with my case, he didn't correct my end of employment date for social security knowing the date was incorrect (...this resulted in delay of my SS benefit for over 5 months) he closed my case out on his end for social security for months(result- no-one knew what was going on with my case, i only learned when i called and asked for a update) I never Knew where my case standing, when i called he simple said I don't know. Now for workers comp case. He was so unprepared did not fight for me at all. He simply went with whatever the opposite attorney said, if he uses the phrase ( IF i did my math right) be ready to be greatly disappointed. It was a complete joke . let's address the hot head issues. When i questioned him why my case was closed without receiving SSB or notification of any kind from social security that it was closed he became outraged. what he did was quiet then decided that wasn't a good idea. I kept him only because i was close to two years with him other wise i would have fired him on the spot. I would also ask John if he has the resources to hire professional medical wittnisses for your worker's Comp case. You may find out he doesn't. I could keep going but it would take to much of my time. Conclusion: If your looking for a lazy, unprepared for your case, exaggerates, a hot head and never follows up on anything kinda of attorney this would be a good one to hire.

Great experience

There was a depth of comfort upon meeting John Edmonson for the first time; immediately followed by him illustrating his knowledge of my circumstances and needs and how the law applied to it. I never felt pressured; rather, understood. Made all the difference in signing up with John. John kept in to...uch and kept me abreast of what was unfolding and was very comprehensive in his explanations and aiding in my understanding. John not only knew the law and helped me reach a settlement, but he took the time to see, hear and understand me as the person who became a client and, from my view, a friend.
