John August Staas

Mr. Staas handled my divorce case. Throughout the process, I found him responsive, patient and very knowledgeable about family law. He does not sugarcoat facts though, so sometimes I felt like crying and even angry at him, but at the same time he is very supportive and will fight for your best intere...sts. I highly recommend him.

My husband and I have hired Mr. Staas for several legal matters (each one unique, each stressful, each involving real estate we owned) and each time we have been so glad - and relieved! - to have him as our attorney. He has been timely, thoughtful, highly strategic, and offers excellent counsel on a ...wide range of matters. Just what you need when dealing with a stressful legal situation. We cannot recommend him enough and will engage him the next time we need legal help.

Mr. Staas has provided legal assistance to me several times over the past 15 years. On a personal level he has helped me with a parenting agreement and was able to resolve an extremely complicated inheritance situation with my Spanish aunt that involved three states and two countries. On a profession...al level, he assisted a grassroots not-for-profit organization in which more than 80 volunteers (including myself) and staff sued the board of directors for control of the organization. With this case, he gave us countless hours in pro bono assistance over two years. In all of these instances, Mr. Staas was a sympathetic advocate, an objective and unflappable strategist, and an honest, forthright adviser. Every case had a positive outcome. I have recommended him to friends and I would hire him again without a second thought.
