25 years of law practice is what we refer to as experienced. John is an adjunct professor of law at University of Phoenix and has a huge advantage over many defense attorneys having been a prosecutor for 13 years. "They know that he knows what they know". John's knowledge of both the law and procedure is excellent and evident in his pro bono contributions here. Client reviews will soon be flowing. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with him ASAP.
