Worst lawyer ever

John Lynch is rude, he doesn’t explain anything to you. I had to try to find ways to get my boyfriend out of jail. He’s been locked up for 6 months now and hasn’t even went to VOP court. I tried to get him out on Behavioral court and John Lynch refused to ask the state Attorney. His court date just g...ot moved to the end of July and the lawyer has not put in any motion to get him a bond or anything. He waited 5 months for even visiting my boyfriend in jail. Was only there like 10 minutes and didn’t explain anything to him. I paid $2000 and my boyfriend would of been better off with a public defender. This lawyer is so sketchy. He only text not calls and you have to pay him through Western Union.

Smartest attorney I have ever talked to.

John Lynch went above and beyond what is expected of an attorney. Every phone call and message was returned and every question and concern was addressed promptly and accurately. There was no issue left unresolved and no detail for my defense was forgotten or overlooked. He updated me through each st...age of the court process and successfully won my case with a motion to suppress evidence that was illegally obtained. He worked very hard for me and with me. Mr. Lynch is an expert lawyer who cares about his clients rights. I highly recommend him to everyone who needs a criminal lawyer. He knows the law and will fight for justice.

Very poor job!

I hired John Lynch and twice he showed up in court disheveled and unorganized. He would not answer a question another time and threaten to get a court officer to bar me from the court house. I do not feel he fought my case to his full potential. After the case was done he would not answer or retur...n my calls. Biggest regret of my life! I am still paying people back money loaned to pay attorney.

John Lynch, Esquire

Mr. Lynch is a very conscientious lawyer. He is very detail oriented and gets to know his clients very well. He goes out of his way to make his way down to the Polk County Jail to visit his clients. He is very easy to talk to and takes the time to get to know you. He has many years experience. I...t's not about money with him but doing the right thing for his clients.

Outstanding Job

I hired John Lynch to handle a V.O.P case for me. We had a very uncooperative State Attorney and I was looking at Prison time. Mr Lynch worked very hard on my behalf and never gave in or gave up. In the end he made a brilliant move and ultimately i ended up with time served and I am now at home with ...my family. Hes an impressive guy.
