Most Ethical & Understanding

John is the most ethical, understand and compassionate lawyer I have yet to meet. And I've been through many unfortunately. He takes the time to really understand each and every clients needs and knows how royally painful and frustrating the divorce process is. He TRULY has you and even better- your ...children's best interests at heart. His experience with quasi criminal cases is outstanding. You wont find a better lawyer in the panhandle that will go to bat for you. He will not fail you. I couldn't have asked for any better representation. Call him. You won't regret it.

I would not recommend hiring this attorney

He promises a lot but then doesn't do a single thing that the promised. He offered my husband and I to take our case and quoted us a big amount of money. When we declined his offer, he lowered the amount and kept lowering until we finally agreed. When he started "working" on our case, the amount wen...t up to the first amount he quoted us. He took the money but didn't do anything we asked him to do. Every time we would call, or see him, or breathe, or sneeze, he would charge us. He was on our case for almost 9 months and never took it to court. We keep asking him to set the hearing, he would promise us every time but wouldn't do it. At the appointments he would talk about anything that doesn't concern the case and then charge us for it. We ended up firing him when he asked for more money and the hearing was still not set. he is full of false promises and not a man of his word. He gives a good example of attorney that only cares about the money.

Excellent Family-Law Attorney

John Kvartek was my attorney for my divorce, which became final in 2012. Because my ex-wife and her first attorney had left some issues unresolved, I retained John again in 2017. John is thorough in preparation. He called me in as needed to update me on the case and to get information. He filed do...cuments on time. He kept me aware of filings from the other side. He made every effort to resolve things quickly and justly, without the time and expense of court appearances. He accepted my e-mails and considered my input when I had suggestions on what to do. A few days after I suggested to John that we try to settle out of court, the judge ordered mediation. John, a mediator himself, hired an outstanding family-law mediator to help us settle. At the mediation, John let me make the decisions; but he gave me multiple suggestions from the standpoints of an attorney, a mediator, and a judge. His guidance kept negotiations going until we reached a workable agreement. John Kvartek is an excellent attorney, supported by knowledgeable, efficient office staff. I highly recommend him if you need a family-law attorney.

Didn't give me the best impression

I'm sure Mr. Kvartek is a very commendable lawyer, his staff certainly is very nice. I consulted with him about my Custody/modification/support case and while he did listen and ask questions, I got a bad feeling from him because of how familiar/friendly he seemed to be with the Magistrate in my case ...(who is NOT in my favor) and also his friendship with the previous idiot of an attorney I had hired that screwed me over. I decided to NOT go with him, just in case, because something told me that since he was so "chummy" with my enemies, that he would be no friend to my cause. Tread carefully.
