Business lawyer | Jul 24

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Brennan both personally and professionally for over ten years. John is best described as both a master and a student of the law. He has practiced law enough to understand the law and it's inner workings, but always cognizant of the fact that the practice always has more to teach us. John is both a zealous advocate for his clients, and continuously mindful of his obligations as an officer of the court. I wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend John to anyone seeking to retain an attorney with both outstanding legal skills and scrupulous adherence to ethical standards."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
