Review John Sutton

Wonderful

Posted by

Mr Sutton helped me out with a case where he represented my son. He turned a bleak situation into something workable. He handled this case professionally, was available, and brought the case to the best possible conclusion. I would highly recommend this lawyer.

My personal rating for mr. John T Sutton of Tuscaloosa

Posted by

I have unfortunately been forced to use several lawyers in my life 4 reasons undeserving if you want a good lawyer call mr. Sutton he'll work with you he'll do his job excellent if that's not what you're looking for then you call somebody else. He has always worked for me and not just to get his case over with, through divorce through selling a home and through criminal trial and no I'm not receiving any kind of compensation. My only regret is that I did not hire him sooner.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. I have known John for 30 years. I practiced law with him for a number of years. I have worked with him on a number of successful personal injury cases over the years. John is very detail oriented and works tediously to obtain as much for his clients as possible.
