Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known John professionally for 15 plus years, including working with him on numerous matters. I give him my highest, unqualified recommendation. John is extremely knowledgeable, diligent, ethical and tenacious, all critical qualities when you are evaluating attorneys to retain. His new position with the Trepanier firm is an ideal platform from which to provide executives guidance in negotiating severance packages, defending businesses against employment related lawsuits and administrative charges and advising clients to avoid running afoul of the law."

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.
