Outstanding Legal and Business Advisor

Excellent

We have done business with John for over 20 years and he is the most ethical and knowledgeable person we know. He does our corporate/business/personal taxes and estate planning as well as provides excellent guidance with our other endeavors. He is always very responsive to any/all inquiries. He ha...s a very diverse knowledge of expertise and we can depend on him to assist us in discussing and resolving any questions we may encounter. He is very pleasant to work with and we highly recommend him.

John has handled many legal matters for our operation. He is responsive and professional. He is always looking out for our best interest in some very complicated business legal issues. If a matter needs to be handed off for litigation he does so promptly. We will continue to use John's service as our... general legal council for many years.

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.
