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 fin...e 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 b...oth 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.

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.
