Business name and title transfer

I saw John after he was recommended to me by another member of the Saginaw Home Builders Association. He did a great job of helping me transfer my business into an LLC., took care of all the state and federal paperwork, and met with me at a time that was very convenient for me. I would highly recom...mend John to anyone with business legal concerns.

LAND AND CONSTRUCTION LAW

Mr.

I am a community School Board member in the Thumb of Michigan. I recently went to Mr. Humphreys for a legal opinion on a voluntary resignation from this board that had become confrontational. I received a legal opinion that was concise, timely and to the point. I also ask for and received personal ad...vice and counsel that was honest, direct and very instrumental in allowing me to come to a resolution to this problem that was not divisive for our school district and acceptable for me as a member. I would not hesitate to recommend John to anyone who is interested in receiving legal advice and or counsel. Dean

Loyal, Trustworthy, The Best

Mr. Humphreys has been my attorney for almost 15 years and I can not recommend him more highly. Anytime I have needed an opinion John was there for me. Sometimes his opinion wsa not what I wanted to hear, but it was always accrurate. Mr. Humphreys has represented me in civil litigation, employee righ...ts and estate planning. If you are looking for a hard working, knowledgable attorney that also has high moral standards, John Humphreys is my recommendation.

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.
