Litigation resolved

Jon Fox was hired because of his knowledge concerning juvenile law and his ability to work with the court system. The litigation and court appearances took longer that I thought but this was due to the other party not totally cooperating. Jon did did an excellent job informing us of the progress of t...he case and finally a plea agreement was reached to our satisfaction. The case is closed and a short probation was necessary for our grandson. All ended well and we are certainly satisfied with the professional demeanor of Mr. Fox and would certainly recommend him in the future to anyone requiring legal counsel. ( Hopefully not us).

Christmas Weekend

I left a message for Jon Fox on Christmas day, & marked it urgent. I received an email from Jon within a few minutes requesting I meet him at his office the next morning. I cannot over state how comforting it was that Mr. Fox made a special trip to his office on a Christmas weekend to meet with me..., & that at no time in this meeting did Jon make me feel rushed. In fact, he sat with me well beyond our appointment time, answering all of my questions, & addressing all of my concerns. Throughout the next few weeks, Jon returned all of my calls in a timely manner, and delivered the results he promised at our 1st meeting. I would recommend Jon Fox to anyone needing legal counsel and/or legal representation.

one of the best

When I was in need of council I wasn't sure who to call, a good friend of mine recommended Mr. Fox . so I called and he called me right back. I met him at his office, he told me what was going to happen and it did. He was great, He has a good sense of humor and really cared about my situation. If any...body is in need of council I would recommend Mr. Fox to everybody I know.

Not Guilty by all 12

I met john fox about 4 years ago after a friend was arrested for a dui. My friend talked highly of john and ended up beating the charge. I dont want to get into his case but i was impressed when i heard how well john did in court. A few years later i was arrested but my case was a little more serious... than my friends. My bond was set at twenty thousand dollars. The same friend called john for me and the next day john got me out of jail for three thousand. I Met john at his office a few days later to tell him the story and to hear how bad this was. It was serious, i could possibly have to spend years in prision. John told me he thought he could get me out of this. Even a plea bargain would not be good for me we had to beat the whole thing. John was very confident and that helped me stay calm through this whole thing. I do not know how much experience john had with cases like mine but he did a lot of research and talked to experts in this matter. He did everything he told me he would do plus some. We took the case to trial and won in three days. John is one of those people you listen to when he talks and i think the jury listened to him and liked him. He did a lot of other things any good laywer would do but the difference is he is sharp and likeable. Most lawyers just are not likeable people. I still talk to john and consider him a friend. I hope to never need a lawyer again but if i do i will feel confident about using John.
