This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A Professional Firm

John and Jason both handled my case with expertise, and delivered with a settlement that exceeded my expectations. Communication was prompt, clear, and direct.

Great litigator

Very responsive of our needs. Was frank an honest about the litigation and did not build up false hopes. He delivered in the end.

Personal injury lawyer | Jul 02

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I've known John for years and, as a transactional attorney, confidently refer all personal injury and commercial litigation matters to him. John has the rare combination of traits that make him a go-to litigator: he genuinely cares about his clients while applying a sharp intellect and keen awareness of substantive and procedural nuance to the party-counsel-court dynamics that make litigation more art than science. That and he get results."

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.
