John Matthew Hemenway's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse John
Robert Waller Bivins headshot
Robert Bivins

Real estate lawyer | Jul 20

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I heartily endorse this lawyer's work. John is one of the smartest, most diligent, and most talented young lawyers I have had the pleasure to work with during my 23 year plus legal career. As a very young associate at our former law firm, John faced the daunting challenge of having to single handedly assume full responsibility for manaing the full year-end transaction load of the firm's Real Estate Department when his supervising attorney was unexpectly laid up for an extended time due to a car accident. John was able to resolutely rise to the challenge and, with great poise, close those transactions and satisfy the needs of the impacted clients with little outside assistance. I know this to be accurate because I was the supervising attorney whose clients he took care of during my recuperation. The clients were then, and continue to be, extremely pleased to have John assisting them and I am today proud to call him my law partner."

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.
