Experienced Divorce and Custody Lawyer

John Tilley helped me obtain custody of my children. He is knowledgeable and well respected by the judges. He always returned my phone calls promptly and showed genuine concern for my case throughout my divorce from my wife. He effectively defended me in Court against numerous false accusations made... by my wife. I was able to keep the house and and enjoy an uninterrupted relationship with my kids.

A great lawyer at a great price!

John, is very fair priced, knowledgeable and willing to help. Three things that were crucial in my divorce proceedings. With John's help I was able to have a fair divorce that didn't leave me broke or broken.

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.
