Successful Sale of my business in record time

John represented my company as the seller in a transaction that was a challenge right from the start. John never waivered as one hurdle after the other got in our way. Johns confident, professional and upbeat manner of doing business enabled me to rest assured as we went through this nearly 7 month p...roject (that typically takes 12 months.) I have hired John (as has my dad) for numerous needs ever since and every time John gets it done with the same zestful willingness he displayed with our first case together nearly 10 years ago.

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.
