30 years of practicing law and a past president of the bar association is what we refer to as experienced. He has a huge advantage over many defense attorneys having been a Public Defender. "The prosecutors know that he knows what they know". Knowledge of both criminal law and procedure is excellent and evident in his pro bono contributions here. John is a giver and money is clearly not his God as is evident in his stellar client reviews. READ THEM! Endorsements from his peer attorneys are also numerous and outstanding. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation ASAP if you or a loved one has a criminal charge. If you are lucky he might just agree to represent you.
