This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Employment contract and stock purchase agreement

John listened very closely to my situation and the objectives I wanted to accomplish with an employment contract and stock purchase agreement. He had great insight on ways to achieve mutual agreement and offered very good advice. I would highly recommend John.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thanks for retrieving the funds I was due, per signed contract.

Thank you John for the professional, fast and positive results, in both legal situations I encountered in the past 16 months with my business. As a senior citizen and retired widow, many people in the business world like to take advantage of my situation, but with an advocate such as you in my corner..., it's a different story. Many thanks and best wishes on your new practice.

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.
