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.

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 kno...wledgeable 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.
