Cant do his job

He took on my dads case and only hired because of how cheap he was. BIG MISTAKE... hung up on my dad MULTIPLE times while he was in jail, and tried to get more money out of me even though I showed bank statements that prove he took money out of my account twice. Always told my dad that he will get se...en by a judge but John was the one going to the judge not him. Promised my dad a shorter sentence but not the case. DONT HIRE if you want QUALITY service. AND IF YOU WANT A HONEST LAWYER JOHN ISNT THE ONE!!!!

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.
