Divorce

John was excellent with my divorce. John and his staff was very knowledgeable and thorough with my case. I felt like he cared and treated me like family. Highly recommend him.

Worst lawyer in town sadly

I’ve worked with many lawyers and been in many situations yet John was my lawyer for a assault case yet when at my pre trial he never even spoke to me he had his secretary talk to me and even though All the evidence was clearly showing I was acting in self defense I was still charged since he didn’t ...do his job

"We're sorry you had a bad experience with our firm. We strive for the utmost client satisfaction in every case. We had talked prior to that day.. However, if you recall, on the day of court, the docket was extremely heavy. I suggested we continue your case so we could talk more extensively and private about your case and the State’s offer. Despite my suggestion, you insisted on taking the offer anyway. So I sent my assistant back out in Hall (where you were) with the proposed offer. You signed it. You “just wanted to get out of there.” Please contact me directly to discuss your specific concerns. ***** Post script: Thank you James for opportunity to speak with you today. I look forward to addressing an issue you had regarding the probation. Thank you
