John will happily take your money and you will be represented, however, do not expect to be informed on when your case goes to court OR what the disposition of the case was! I contacted his assistant Tony 3 times to find out when the case was scheduled to go to court, when I had no correspondence for... 3 months after making payment, then to try and learn the disposition of the case. Three weeks after the case went to court, I gave up and went online to find it myself. Took me 5 minutes to find it and learn some other attorney was present to represent me. STAY AWAY!!!!

I am sorry that you were unhappy with your experience with our firm. But I will reasonably infer that your final result was indeed a positive one, since you did not criticize the actual result. Our office sends a confirmation letter and receipt upon hiring that clearly tells the client that the final court date may be 3 or more months away, and that results will follow afterwards. It is also important that we wait to receive the actual disposition from the Court with the judge’s signature, match it with your file, and send you the accurate result. Simply looking up the result on the Clerk’s website without verifying the judge’s signed disposition can result in mistakes, i.e. at times Clerk’s make scrivener’s errors when entering information into the computer. Thus the short delay to await the actual judge signed disposition is to protect you as the client. If an inaccuracy was entered by the Clerk, we would file the appropriate motion to correct the matter and protect your driving record. Finally, all attorneys that attend in court hearings are highly skilled and experienced with great knowledge of their local courtrooms, thus allowing us to achieve the best possible results for our clients.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2008.

Probation issued in FL, 2008

updated on 08/15/2016

Probation means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar monitors the lawyer's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

John’s comment:

“I have never been disciplined for any type of improper client representation, and I have represented over 50,000 clients. This was a minor technical violation due to an old advertisement letter being mistakenly stuffed into an envelope by a member of my staff. The older advertisement had, in fact, been preapproved by the Florida Bar but was now improperly worded due to an update/change in the Bar's wording requirements.”

Admonishment issued in FL, 2004

updated on 08/15/2016

An admonition means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar gives the lawyer an admonition in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

John’s comment:

“This in no way was a result of any type of improper client representation. As a young lawyer, I was unaware that certain forms of written advertisement had to be submitted to the Florida Bar for approval prior to disbursement. Another attorney's secretary received one of my advertisements and he turned it into the Bar. She never even hired our office. I was required to attend a class at which the advertising rules were reviewed.”
