Highly Recommend

John Marshall came very highly recommended to me when I needed the services of an employment lawyer. I had already known of his stellar reputation in this field. I can attest to the fact he totally lives up to this reputation. He surpassed all of my expectations. Drawing on his many years of legal ex...perience, he provided sound, practical advice, and helped me navigate the process in a professional, thoughtful, and compassionate way. I felt so fortunate to have John as my advocate. He was always very approachable and tremendously responsive to my questions. He moved the process along in an extremely timely fashion, and the matter was successfully resolved. I am immeasurably grateful for the guidance John provided throughout the process. I would very highly recommend John to anyone.

Battle Tested

Mr. Marshall represented me in a civil action against a nationally known company with unlimited resources. It was an uphill battle but Mr. Marshall never backed off the attack. He was never intimidated. His legal expertise was impressive! He was always approachable and patiently answered my many ...questions about legal proceedings until I was satisfied. As a physician, I know how important it is for people to understand all their options when facing difficult situations. Mr. Marshall made me feel comfortable and well informed about my legal decisions in this action. The matter was resolved to my satisfaction and I was very pleased with his work. I highly recommend him and would not hesitate to use his services again.

Knowledge and experience to give realistic expectations and practical advice

John was invaluable to me and my wife on two separate occasions regarding contracts - the first due to my own ignorance and the second to prevent me from repeating that mistake. I appreciate the fact that John gives realistic advice, which comes from decades of experience. He is a highly effective ...lawyer who works with you on a personal level. I would gladly recommend John to anyone.

Tremendously Effective and Professional counsel

John has, on two separate occasions, provided employment counsel that was wise, straight-forward, and clear, resulting in a very successful conclusion to the matter being addressed. John was able to quickly identify the key points of contention, suggest effective ways to present my points, and the r...esult in both cases was an efficient and effective, and highly satisfying conclusion. I have personally referred more than a few people to John and the feedback I get is consistent with my experience as described.

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.
