The Best Corporation Attorney in USA!
I cant begin to express how thankful i am that i found John Clough. John is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, pleasant, professional , patient, honest and non-judgmental. He reviewed my situation, set a course of action. No one seems to want to do extra work these days and be available after hours or on the weekends as needed and he does answer right the way and I'm so grateful. Everything is very straight forward with John- no hidden fees. I highly recommend John and his firm. He is truly wonderful.

THE BEST ATTORNEY I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH
John has been my business attorney for close to a year. I love the way he communicates with me. Responds in the matter of minutes. He never leaves me alone with my problems. If I need his help at midnight, any time of the day, weekends, weekdays, he is always there for me. His communication skills and the respect he gives me and my team are expectional. He is always to the point. He never wants to take advantage of the customer just by unnecessarily extending the conversation to gain some attorney time. He accomplishes things very quickly and maticulousley. I love John. He is the best. Try to work with him couple of times and you'll see how well impressed you'll be with him and his work ethic. On a side note, my best friend has worked with hundreds of attorneys in Naples/Fort Myers area due to her job and she chose John Clough as her attorney as well. It truly affirms me that John is the best from the best. You'll love him. He does respect you and your time.
