John Michael Totten

I had a great experience with John Totten and his staff Sarah and Bridget were all so kind and informative! I was impressed from start to finish with John and how he handled everything for me! I know first hand how well John Totten can take charge of a courtroom ! I will always recommend him to anyon...e I speak with that needs a good Attorney!

John is an extremely knowledgeable lawyer. Not only does he understand the law, he is able to explain it in a way that even I could understand. His legal staff is top notch. Bridgett Jackson has a unique ability to be able to explain both sides of an argument. She can show understanding about how yo...u feel you were wronged while at the same time, explaining to you how the court will likely perceive the situation. This is not something all law firms do. Many firms will only tell clients what they want to hear, costing the clients a lot of time and money, and the outcome being the same. With this firms knowledge and personal relationships in the community, they are able to find solutions for difficult situations that are in the clients best interest.

I came to Mr. Totten through high recommendation in what felt like my darkest hour. My character was being assassinated, I was removed (temporarily) from my children and felt like my world was being turned upside down! Mr. Totten and his staff Bridgett and Shelbie came to my rescue like the Avengers!... They had such a calming spirit and reassurance that not only did they have my back, but that they were prepared to go to battle on my behalf! In moments of uncertainty and frustration it was Bridget’s calming spirit who would tell me “take a deep breath, you know who you are and know that you’re a great father, we’ve got you” Mr. Totten was always punctual for our appearances, organized and a true battle tested expert at his profession. Watching him in the court room was like watching Ken Griffey Jr. At the plate execute the “perfect swing.” When it was all said and done, I was awarded joint custody of my babies and just about every single thing we fought for we were able to lay claim too. I would not recommend any other law office for your legal needs! This group is certainly the best in the business and made what felt like the worst time of my life, truly a smooth transition into a brand new and rewarding beginning.

I highly recommend Mr. Totten and his firm. He and his staff were wonderful to work with. He and his paralegal, Bridget, were both knowledgeable, personable, and very efficient with my case. Each and every time I contacted them, I received a very timely response with relevant knowledge and informati...on vital to my question. He and Bridget both answered all my questions throughout each of the steps in the modification process, including the discovery, deposition, and actual trial day and were absolutely wonderful to work with. Mr. Totten worked to reach an agreement that was beneficial to both me and my children and was relentless in his objective for the best possible outcome. If there had been a trial vs. an agreement, he was well prepared and had discussed all possible outcomes and options with me. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mr. Totten, Bridget, and also Alicia, who always directed me to who I needed at the time. If you are looking for an attorney and staff who are vested in your situation and your best interests, look no further than Mr. Totten and staff.

John Totten pursued.my case in a very thorough manner. I was the defendant in an unusual civil case that was supported by almost no directly applicable precedent. My losing the lawsuit was a distinct possibility, with losing having a downside in the $100,000 range before litigation costs. John dev...eloped a defense that was thorough, creative, well reasoned and ultimately successful. I found the emotional cost of my case to be higher than the potential financial loss. John kept my emotional burden as low as he possibly could. More importantly, he kept me focused on the legal aspects of my situation. Fair and legal are unfortunately not always synonymous. I believe John achieved an outcome that was correct from both a legal and just standpoint. I am not familiar with costs associated with litigation. I did, however, find his fees to be very reasonable, and that view would be unchanged had the outcome been different. I recommend John Tottenham very highly and without reservation. I find him to be a highly competent attorney and a fine person as well.
