Very unprofessional and unhelpful

Would not recommend. John could not remember my name and kept calling me Adam. On top of that he did not do much to help my SSI case when the hearing came. I gave 2 stars because his office and staff are nice and helpful, however John himself did not put much effort in. Update: upon calling John a...gain after my appeal in order to file a waiver I was met with an aggressive tone. The words that came out of his mouth "why should I help you?", "my office told me you didn't like what I did", and "are you going to pay me?" Definitely a very unprofessional attorney. I will definitely be looking into filing a grievance Avoid John at all costs!

Terrible lawyer. Dont waste your money or time.

Terrible lawyer. Loses every case, doesn't return calls, extremely arrogant and unpleasant.

  • 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.
