Super Attorney and former Judge
Hired John for a case and could immediately tell he has vast experience in all aspects of law and forums. This gives him a definite advantage. He can read through a file and immediately pinpoint the legal issues and challenges. I have never known John to be anything but helpful and polite, he's a people person. He understands Constitutional Law. I would definitely hire him again for any case, civil or criminal.

Awesome
John did an excellent job. Have recommended him to anyone I hear has a problem. Answered all my questions. Guided my ignorance through the legal process told me what to expect and how it would play out. Stood for my rights I'm the court room and did an excellent job

Great Lawyer
John was very thorough and knowledgable throughout my case. He made every effort to ensure I was granted the best outcome, in which case I was. I felt very at ease throughout the process and would most definitely recommend his expertise!

Knowledgeable and honest
Mr. Reynolds demonstrated a thorough understanding of the law and was able to break it down into language I could understand. I found him to be honest and forthright in our consultation.

I hope I don't need to, but I'd hire John again if I did!
John has handled or assisted in handling a few circumstances for me including hammering out my late mothers estate and a traffic ticket. Aside from just being generally thorough and professional, John reduced my traffic ticket to a voluntary donation. I would hire John again if circumstances render his services useful again.

Not personable
He isn’t very personable at all. He forgot a lot of important things about my case which caused in a bad outcome. He has a very snotty personality. He don’t treat people with respect. I personally do not recommend
