Highly recommend John T. Poland

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Poland when I needed to recover funds from a former employer. The process was daunting, but he made it seamless and stress-free. From our first contact, he explained the legal steps clearly and was always responsive to my inquiries. Mr. Poland's expert...ise in employment law was evident throughout the process and resulted in a quick resolution. He was successful in helping me recover the full amount owed. If you're looking for an attorney who combines professionalism with a personal touch, and who gets results, I highly recommend John Poland.

A Great Attorney To Have Your Back

John's legal practice is backed by years in the trenches on many notable entertainment properties. His knowledge of entertainment agreements is not theoretical or template based, it is informed by years of negotiation, previous litigation, and a keen business acumen. He is kind, patient, whip smart, ...and has a tremendous network of support.

Years of experience!

John knows more about contracts than any other attorney out there. He comes with YEARS of experience, is easy to work with and is HONEST. Truly a pleasure to work with!

Terrible

John is an absolutely terrible attorney. He did not do anything besides file a charge for $3,000. Do not waste your money if you actually want something done about discrimination or harassment in the workplace. He is completely useless; it’s too bad I cannot get a refund. He only has 4 years of exper...ience and it shows;so I decided to go with someone with more experience who would handle my sensitive case with care.

Dear Sara, I am sorry to hear that you feel this way about our time working together. As your attorney, I dedicated several months to your case and took every step necessary to protect your interests, including ensuring that a potentially damaging situation at a public meeting was avoided. While I understand that legal matters can be stressful and outcomes are not always predictable, I am confident that I provided the best possible representation within the scope of our agreement. I also want to clarify that the fee charged was for the comprehensive work completed on your behalf. My decision to not continue representing you was made in your best interest, as I believed you would be better served by an attorney who could devote more time to the ongoing demands of your case. I wish you nothing but success with your new representation and hope that you achieve the resolution you are seeking.
