Genuine integrity

Mr. Streby took well over an hour on a Sunday to advise me on a legal issue that could not wait. I was very upset, and he was so calm and kind. He answered every question and told me exactly the right thing to say and to do to resolve my urgent issue. He was more interested in helping me than collect...ing a fee. Calling him was the smartest thing I have ever done. I am truly grateful. He presented genuine integrity. I highly recommend him.

Helpful, thorough

I consulted with Mr. Streby regarding a landlord/tenant legal matter. He was very helpful and thorough, explaining the legality of the situation and recommending next steps. He went above and beyond what I had expected. I would certainly recommend and hire him in the future.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A Client's best friend is a good lawyer, and John Streby is top-flight.

Attorney Streby represented my parents in a grandparents' visitation case which he won--the judge granted liberal visitation for my parents with their grandson, who was only 7 years old. John Streby wrote an extensive brief for the judge in the case that covered all the key issues. When he presente...d his arguments in court their was resistance from the other side, but the Judge could see who had clearly made the stronger case and he decided every issue in favor of the grandparents and attorney Streby.

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.
