Philip Thomas, Personal injury Attorney on Jan 28, 2011
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I have tried cases with and against John. He is not afraid to take and try a hard case in order to obtain justice for his clients. This attitude has led to multiple large verdicts for his clients. He is also much better at negotiating settlements than most lawyers. There are many imposters in the realm of personal injury law. John is the real deal.
Wade Manor, Personal injury Attorney on Apr 30, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
As a defense attorney I have had several cases opposing John and have always found him to be honest and straightforward. It is always a pleasure working on cases with him. It is also very clear to me that John truly believes in his clients and cares about the results of a lawsuit for the client, not himself.

I have greatly enjoyed the opportunity to see John in action as his compassion for the client really shines through, no matter what phase of litigation he is in. His depth of knowledge and personal experiences really sets him apart when dealing with tough negotiations. He is a great advocate and I would personally recommend him to clients, friends and family, as I have done before.I endorse this lawyer without reservation! JIM ROTH--THE ROTH FIRM
