Professional and Persistent!

I retained Mr. Christy's firm in 2018. He stayed on my case and helped me receive the much-needed surgery recommended in 2020. He's there to handle any concerns you may have afterwards. Thank you Mr. Christy.

Super Attorney

Well we all know jokes about attorneys not really being very good and looking out to make more money for themselves and leaving you in a bind. I honestly can say that is NOT the case with Mr. John Christy! He is one of the best attorneys I have ever dealt with and I've dealt with a few. He is very kn...owledgeable about the law and what can and cannot be done. He will stand up for you especially if the insurance company or workers compensation ppl are giving you a hard time and they will until you get a good attorney that knows how to deal with them. He is always polite and very professional but don't misunderstand that for weakness because he knows how to word things on paper or in a conversation that will get the other parties attention and fast. I believe he is very well known, very likeable and highly respected as an attorney and a person of the community and in his field. Therefore he gets favorable results because people know he is a no-nonsense attorney. He worked extremely hard and was very thorough on my case. It took a number of years since my case was worker's comp and WC just don't get in a hurry. But I never felt like he wasn't working on my case. I always knew he was. He always kept me apprised of what was going on and who he had corresponded with even if it was a minor thing. And i could always call and ask a dumb question without being made to feel dumb. He looked out for my best interest! I honestly can't say that about a lot of people esp attorneys. If you ever need someone that will fight for you and not worry more about what he's getting paid, then Mr. Christy is the man to call! He will do everything he can to help you get the justice you deserve and help you get the money that the company owes you. I'm not saying he works for free but he makes you feel like you're his only client when you meet with him. He doesn't rush and make you feel like you are just a number instead of a person who needs help. His staff is very polite and helpful also. I just can't say enough positive things about Mr. John Christy! And I absolutely can't think of one negative thing to say either! I did not know him before he took my case but after almost 11 years of him representing me I really feel like he was and is my friend that I could trust that was working on my behalf. I wouldn't hesitate to call him to represent me again! He is a very fair and caring attorney. I have the utmost respect for how he handles himself and how he deals with people in a respectful and fair manner. I will gladly recommend him over anyone else in the same or similar category!! I give him 5 out of 5 stars in rating him and his business! You WON'T find a harder working or more knowledgeable attorney than Mr. Christy. And he will truely be more concerned about you and your situation than anyone else. He cares about people and helping people. That's just the kinda person he is! And he is excellent at his job! Don't hesitate to call him!!

  • 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.
