Workers compensation

John and partners helped and explained the in and outs of all the possibilities associated with my case. They kept me updated during the process and won my case for me. I would recommend this law firm to anyone in need of a great law firm.

Excellent service

I hired this law firm for my workman's comp case. They were professional and compassionate about my case. I was very happy with the work they did for me and the end results. Would definitely hire them again!

Awesome!

John took my case when others refused. It was a personal injury case that was hard to prove. But John went the extra mile to get me the compensation that I deserved.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"John is a fantastic lawyer. I've had the pleasure and honor of working with John for almost 20 years. He is smart, hard working and goes the distance for clients. John is compassionate and understands the harm his clients have suffered. John has tried many cases and the insurance companies know he's a trial lawyer. That makes a difference in the settlement offers and makes it easier to get a case settled. I'm proud to know John and be able to work with him."

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.
