Very informative and quick to respond.
I emailed with John regarding a consultation. He was very quick to respond. He provided much details regarding the breakdown of his pricing and fees. He seemed understanding, kind and nonjudgmental.

I had a claim against an insurance company, they only wanted to pay a small percentage of what was needed to make repairs. I asked John for help and he got them to pay the full amount.

Professional, knowledgeable
John is an excellent Lawyer. He really went above and beyond in my case. The best possible outcome was reached (a case dismissed) as a result of his never giving up the fight for his client, and my job was saved. I will recommend him to everyone I know.

I didn't blow. Odds of a reduced charge? I'm in real estate. I'll loose everything if I can't drive. No priors of any kind.
