John was very professional, and was on top of all matters. I feel that all the advice given was excellent and helpful. John is ver laidback and easy to talk with. When the time comes John knows how to get issues taken care of and closed. Will be The first to call should I ever need legal representat...ion again.

Caring, compassionate, attentive

John Toner was a very humble compassionate and attentive attorney. He was assigned to me through the juvenile court. Unfortunately my case was also filed in superior court by the other party and I had already hired and paid a hefty retainer to another attorney. John still fight for me as hard if not ...harder than my paid counsel. He never missed a hearing and went above and beyond until the juvenile case was dropped and the superior case took over. Honestly I wish she was still the one representing me. It was obvious he cares a grate deal about his work and the clients he represents. I would highly recommend him, and appreciate everything he did for me and my family.

Aided my son

My son received a ticket for speed to fast for conditions. There were a couple of issues with the citation. Mr. Toner contacted the DA, and reviewed the issues with the DA and the officer. The case was handled quickly and effectively and without my son having to go to court several hours from home.... Mr. Toner was professional and friendly in all of our conversations and meetings. I can't thank him enough.

Best Lawyer I Know!!

John is a lawyer I trust. He has the ability and the integrity to take care of his clients. The guy works harder than any other attorney I know, and he gets the best results for his clients, not just easy settlements. He is honest, he tells it like it is, and he has a way of making you feel like e...verything is going to be okay. With John, I know it will be okay. I hired John to defend me on a misdemeanor charge in Chatham County. He took my case very seriously and recognized what a conviction would mean for my career. He actually cared, which made a huge difference in the case. I wasn't willing to settle for a lesser charge and John took the case all the way to the end. He pushed the DA's office to look at the evidence, or lack of. He fought on my behalf, and he was never intimidated by the County. They dropped my case after nearly 2 years of John fighting for me. And that whole time, John stuck by my side, defending me. I HIGHLY recommend John Toner to anyone who asks. Whether it be criminal or civil, this is the guy you want by your side! I wish I could do much more than write a recommendation. THANK YOU John!!!

"Attorney Toner is a passionate and caring attorney. The areas that I know Attorney Toner excels at are in criminal defense, child dependency actions, and federal criminal defense. However, I would trust him to take any action for me, because I know that if he is unfamiliar with the law at the time he takes the case, he will work his tail off to know all the nuisances and case law by Court time."
