Good experience and outcome.

John handled a car accident case for me. John was easy to work with, excellent communication and I am pleased with the outcome. The insurance company was not easy to work with. He was able to handle and negotiate a settlement that worked for everyone involved. I would recommend John.

Bulldog of a lawyer

I consulted with John on critical family law matters and his advice was invaluable. My ex husband was trying to take my child from me and my consulting with John gave me avenues to pursue to win my case. Happy to report I have my son because of John.

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.
