Dr. John Ralls was extremely helpful in a reviewing a mineral lease for my family. We weren't sure where to even begin trying to lease the property. We heard of Dr. John Ralls from one of my father's acquaintances. He stayed with us and gave very insightful and knowledgeable advice. I would definitely recommend this lawyer for anyone involved in a lease, property, or contract case.
Perhaps it was because he was and is a Doctor besides from being an attorney that I found his personality, sincereity and vast knowledge so impressive. He helped me resolve a couple problems I had been facing to my advantage when others really didn't listen, understand or care about anything else than their money.
