John did a great job for me

I was recently involved in a car accident. Having never been in a wreck before I did not know what to do. I called several law firms but was not able to speak directly with an attorney. Then my neighbor suggested that I call John. When I called his secretary told me that he was in court but was expec...ted back within the hour. He called me back 15 minutes later and said that he could meet with me later that day. I explained to him that I had no means of transportation as my car had been totaled in the wreck. That was not a problem for John. He took all my information over the phone and explained how he would set up a claim with the insurance company. He was able to get a rental car delivered to me the next day and arrange for medical treatment for my injuries. 10 days later he had a check for my car and I was able to get a new one. He kept me informed throughout the process and I was able to speak with him directly whenever I needed to. After the doctor discharged me, John was able to negotiate a settlement quickly and with a great result. He far exceeded my expectations and I would recommend him to other potential clients.

Best lawyer ever

John has been my lawyer for almost 30 years. I can always get in touch with him. If he is not immediately available, he calls me back promptly. When I go to see him there is no waiting. He has handled a variety of matters for me. He did my divorce and really took it to my ex. I have had several injur...y cases and he has always gotten the insurance company to pay top dollar. Over the years, I have referred a number of family members and friends to John and everybody has thanked me for introducing them to him. Never once have I ever heard anything negative about him. Keep up the good work John !!

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.
