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 accou...nts 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 w...hen 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 wh...o I will choose! John Wilson is the best!!

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.
