Excellence and Professionalism At Its Finest

John came highly recommended by a family member and fellow attorney. Not only did he meet my expectations, he exceeded them from start to finish. It was clear from our first meeting that John is an expert in his field. My case was complex with many components. John thoroughly addressed and ex...plained each component at a level that I could understand. He was friendly, patient, and well-spoken. I was most impressed with John's consistent and timely communication. He responded quickly to any questions that I had and kept me informed of all events as they occurred. I felt comfortable reaching out to John if I had any question and was always pleased with the timeliness and outcomes of our communications. Overall John helped me reach a favorable outcome and I was very satisfied with his services. He came highly recommended to me by a person I trust and after working with him I would be happy to recommend his services if given the chance. I have the utmost respect for John as a person and an abundance of confidence in his ability as an attorney.

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.
