An Excellent Attorney!!!
John is an excellent lawyer. He helped us through one of the most difficult times of our lives. He was honest in all his dealings with us and professional, yet compassionate. John exibited a wealth of knowledge concerning our case and was forthcoming with any information that we needed to make our decisions. He made, what was a very difficult time for us, more bearable because we felt that we could trust him and he had our best interest at heart. John was very instrumental in settling our case to our satisfaction.
