John Suthers did a great job for me.

John was referred to me by my Father and Step-Mother after I was injured in a car accident. He had helped them a few years before and they insisted I call John, even though I don't live in Savannah. (I do live in Georgia) I am so glad they gave me this advice! I have permanent injuries and John a...nd Adam were able to navigate the insurance red tape while I was able to heal. They did a fantastic job , much, much better than I could have done myself. They always called me when something was going on. They took care of everything. If you are in an accident, take my advice and call John Suthers before you deal with the insurance company!

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.
