A win for a working father!
I hired John to represent me in a child support dispute. He respectfully represented me to the Friend of the Court and kept me from having to pay child support.

A lawyer you can trust!
John Wilson and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and professional. John is straight forward and honest. He’s a bulldog for what is fair and right and I cannot begin to thank him enough for the many ways he has helped protect my children and I. At this point, John has been successful on all accounts on my end keeping my priorities at the forefront. I can confidently put my trust in John and would recommend others to as well!

One of a kind
John is not only a kind, knowledgeable attorney but one who displays a high regard for integrity. I can’t begin to thank him enough for his professionalism. Custody change and the process can be an unpleasant and he made this very difficult process more bearable, giving me assurance and guidance when I needed it most. His assistant also provided a comforting voice and knowledge when contacting his office was necessary. He was generous enough and willing to accept payment arrangements with me. He made me feel like he genuinely understood what was at stake for my family and that my children’s best interest were always front and center with any decisions we fought for (in a profession where not all lawyers do), and ultimately won. With his help, my children and I have been given a sense of peace we’d not had previously and I can’t thank him enough. If you’re looking for a lawyer who does it for all the right reasons, I highly recommend John Wilson at the Wilson Law Office.

Appreciative!!!!
John is someone I will always want in my corner! He made sure my voice was always heard and in the end got me everything I wanted in a custody case. It was dragged over a year and a half and he and Jenna were helpful throughout all of it. Ideally I will not need an attorney any further, but I know who I will choose! John Wilson is the best!!

Worked above and beyond for my family
Attorney John Wilson and his staff from day one were extremely professional and helpful with my case. John himself was all about fighting for me and my three young daughters. He cared about the facts and kept me calm and focused while I gave him all the information surrounding my divorce. I liked his ability to keep me from rambling on and just state the facts. This divorce was very difficult for me and my family and John was always on top of things even though our case took some crazy turns. John proved what was in the best interest of the children and the kids and I are very grateful!! He also helped my mother after my fathers passing with some financial legal issues and was so kind with my mother and put her at ease. Mr Wilson’s straight forward, no sugar coating approach was what made my decision to have him represent my family. He knows the law!!!

My Review
John Wilson handled my case unexpectedly after weeks of searching for someone who would. I am very thankful this worked out the way it did. He handled everything very professional, very mature. It helped me in ways I will forever benefit from. My daughter and I reunite this weekend thanks to this fine gentleman! Thank you! When you feel the need to do what you did to help me, follow that instinct! I highly recommend John Wilson.

Great attorney for child custody issues
John Wilson and his team at Wilson Law have always been great to work with. John and his staff are all hard working, caring and helpful. John is honest and will give the information to you straight, so you know what you're facing. He has always been available for phone meetings and in person meetings. He is willing to go above and beyond for his clients. He helped to settle a custody case for my daughter and I. I had a long battle with two previous local attorneys who failed me. When I was referred to John Wilson, after the first meeting I knew he was the right attorney for my daughter and I. I can't recommend John Wilson and his staff enough. If you want a hard working attorney, who will listen to you and fight for what is right, he is the one for you.

Excellent must have lawyer
After 2 failed lawyer attempts that only wanted our money and didn't want to put any effort in their part...I called and hired John. He will be straight and honest with what he can and can't do with your case. I won't lie, mine is pretty tough, but he definitely has helped me each and every step we both were able to accomplish. It may take a moment for him to call you back, but his assistant is very nice and professional and makes sure every message goes to him...and I promise you he does return his calls. He is one I strongly recommend getting.

Outstanding representation!!
John handled my case with the utmost professionalism, maintaining the confidentiality I needed. He provided excellent counsel and every step showed supreme confidence my case would get dismissed. He was correct and was able to get it dismissed before trial.

Little effort, poor representation
This lawyer was clearly absent when it came to my case. Little preparation, got killed by opposing lawyer in research and knowledge of the laws, and just didn't seem to be giving any attention to the issues. Before hiring him I read he was a hard worker. Must have been working on something else.
