Incredible attorney

I received some unfortunate news regarding our new school district after having moved into our new home. Having found out that my daughter would no longer be able to attend our preferred school, I was devastated. With only a couple of weeks left of summer break, I knew that I needed help, and fast. I... did a google search for family law in Bullitt County and fortunately, John's name and number was the first to appear. When I called his number, he answered the phone. He was with a client but took the time to talk to me briefly about my situation. I was so upset, as my daughter's education is something that is very important to me. He asked me to call him back later that day. We spoke again, and he was very personable. I never felt rushed, I never once felt as if I was a burden. I was able to schedule an appointment within just a couple of days. When I met with John, I felt a sense of relief. He took away the stress of the situation. He worked very quickly, to ensure that our issue was resolved prior to school starting. John left for vacation and came back early, so that we could go before the judge. He never lost contact with me. I appreciate his service more than I could ever begin to explain. He is very down to earth, and eager to help. John is a great guy, very personable and professional. If I ever need legal help in the future, John will be my first point of contact. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need.

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.
