Personal injury lawyer | Jan 06

Relationship: Co-worker

"Four years ago this coming July i left my established personal injury practice to start a new venture with John. I had worked with John for more than a decade at my old firm and had acquired an appreciation for his outstanding legal sills, attention to detail and unparalleled work ethic. John's legal prowess is well-known and appreciated by lawyers throughout the Chicago metropolitan area. His relationship with his clients is unique. Every client has John's personal cell phone number and understand that John is available to them 24 hours a day. Why? John understands that victims of life-changing tragedy are as likely to have a crisis at midnight as at noon. He frequently makes late night housecalls to clients in need and helps his clients obtain emergent medical care. In 35 years, i have yet to meet a lawyer who cares more about his co-workers and appreciates their work and personal issues. He treats everyone with respect and understanding."

Relationship: Co-worker

"John Power is one of the best lawyers I know. He directs his considerable energy into making his cases and clients' recovery far better than they would be if they were handled by a lesser lawyer. He has impressive results at trial and in settlement because of his legal savvy, his attention to detail and admirable work ethic."

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.
