About John

I am an attorney that gives my clients excellent representation, good communication, and dignity during their case.  People hire attorneys because they are not comfortable dealing in the law.  I see my job as your attorney to help you navigate in the murky jungle so that you can make the best decision possible.

 

Being an attorney is not my first career.  I spent several years as a scientist prior to law school.  I already have a maturity about me that people recognize and trust.  You get the best of both worlds - the eagerness of a new attorney with the maturity of a seasoned veteran.  I would very much enjoy hearing about your case.  John Stryker, Esq.

Review John Stryker

Very knowledgeable and honest

Posted by

I met with Mr. Stryker regarding my custody case. He was extremely friendly and helpful in regards to my case. He helped guide me through the process. If I need to retain and attorney again in the future John Stryker would be my first and only choice.

A lawyer that will fight for your rights and give you back your dignity!

Posted by

I was in over my head. I had a long fight against a very large company because of being treated poorly. My rights and my life were on the line. John had explained all my rights and diligently took matters into his own hands. The opposing side had three lawyers on their side. They wanted to scare John by taking things to federal court, but he would not back down or be intimidated. He took them head on! He tore each argument of defensive apart one by one till they had to pay! John got my life back and dignity, along with a very nice payout. John has the knowledge and skill to take anything on. He is an excellent and savvy lawyer. Smart and to the point. He will not be intimidated by anything. He will get things done and will be honest and fair in the process.

Dedicated, polished, knowledgeable and gets the job done!

John is one of the most dedicated, honest problem- solving lawyers I have had the pleasure of working with to date. He will do what is necessary to win your case and make certain you receive the justice you deserve. He will present a thorough game plan and explain it to you in respectful layman terms. I have had the pleasure of knowing John for several years. He is a very polished, knowledgeable lawyer, yet very honest and down- to-earth. He will definitely work hard to get the job done. He takes a lot of personal pride in the outcome of your case.

Works for you

I met John through a mutual friend who had also used John's services for another matter. Soon after we had met, I received a traffic violation and knew who to call immediately. After speaking with John, I felt assured that he was the right representation for me. I received an email from him later that day that he had already researched my case and informed me what I was up against. John is not the lawyer that shows up on your court date and explains your options and legal matters in 2 1/2 minutes between 3 phone calls. Throughout the duration, I felt as if John never left me puzzled on what to do next. His excellent legal advice and attention to detail helped me to leave court paying a minimal fine with zero points on my license. I would recommend John to anyone looking for representation.

Professional, fearless, and honest.

John has helped me with two traffic violations and I was highly pleased with the outcome for both. He is very personable, friendly and easy to work with but he will fight tooth and nail for you. Although he is building his experience in the field, he is already making a name for himself because he is not afraid to speak up and protect his clients in the courtroom. John has an excellent "gut feeling" and will do what is needed to get you a fair outcome.

A Trustworthy and Knowledgeable Attorney.

I found myself in a very bad situation. I was looking at a felony drug possession and three misdemeanors for an awful night out. Before I was to appear in front of the judge I had the pleasure of meeting John. Immediately I felt so much relief to know I had someone in my corner. John was very knowledgeable on how to handle my initial appearance to move forward. Getting to know John was a pleasure. He always kept me in the loop unlike other attorneys Ive had in the past. I was very shocked and pleased when John told me that meeting with the prosecutors they were going to drop all but one misdemeanor. When I appeared for my misdemeanor case John also spoke on my behalf eliminating all fines and jail time for said misdemeanors. The big case I was really worried about was the felony. This was my first time getting charged with a felony and John worked hard to get me on an intervention in lieu program. If you are looking for a trustworthy and thorough attorney willing to go the extra mile John is your guy!

A Direct, Dedicated and Loyal Attorney

I had the privilege of meeting John earlier this year, and when I had received a subpoena this summer I knew right away who to call. I called John not knowing why I received a subpoena as a witness, without hesitation John researched the case information and thoroughly explained the court procedures to me. John went above and beyond to keep me informed and relaxed. When I was at court waiting to be called, John gave me the moral support I needed. I highly recommend John, his attention to detail, his compassion for people and his down - to - earth demeanor make him an excellent choice for all legal matters.
