Excellent Hard Working Lawyer

John Wirt is the lawyer for Square Ring, and I also hired him to handle a litigation matter for me. He did an excellent job and won a number of motions for our case which forced the other side to enter into a very favorable settlement with me. He was Don King's attorney for 12 years and with Square... Ring he has won a number of major victories, including against Ustream, Terek Box Event, Knockout Promotions and Green Machine Boxing. I highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
