This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very knowledgeable and honest

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!

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 te...rms. 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.
