Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I have known John for almost 20 years as opposing counsel on various construction matters. John is an excellent lawyer, with ethics beyond reproach. John serves his clients well by getting to the issues in dispute, either through settlement or trial, so that clients get to a resolution. I highly recommend John.

There are two kinds of lawyers, those who "get it" and those who don't and in the world of commercial litigation, non-competes, breach of contract, business, appellate, construction lien and a wide range of other commercial issues, John is the one who gets it. I have worked with him many times and have marveled at his "epoxic" grasp of the issues and case law, as well as his command of his client's position when arguing his case. He enjoys an excellent reputation in our community and I endorse him without reservation. You will sleep well at night knowing he is on the case.
