Empathetic & Brilliant Lawyer

John helped me settle a discrimination/harassment case related to my gender identity. From the start, John approached me and my case with a great level of empathy and understanding. He explained the process clearly and honestly so that I felt comfortable and informed along every step of the way. I fe...el very grateful to have found him to represent me so authentically and unwaveringly.

Oil and Gas Employee

John was very approachable and easy to work with and to discuss things with. He was very knowledgeable about the applicable laws and was open and honest about the legal process I would face if I had chosen to go that route. I really appreciated that. It further built my trust and confidence in him. A...lthough, I ultimately decided not to pursue legal action in my situation, I felt more confident and educated in my decision after working with John.

A rare combination of professionalism, down-to-earth and understanding gentleman. I approached John to assist me with settling a wage dispute with my employer. I was very impressed with his knowledge of law and understanding of complex situations. He is always a step ahead and responds promptly to q...uestions and clarifications.

Exceptional Lawyer - Brilliant, Strategic Thinker, Thoughtful

John is a truly exceptional lawyer. He is brilliant and knows the law inside and out. John has the unique gift of deeply understanding human behavior. He therefore knows how to best approach complex situations that involve multiple parties. He is ten steps ahead in thinking through scenarios and how ...others might react. Coupling that with his ability to make confusing legal issues easy to understand and his genuine kindness and compassion, you have an outstanding lawyer. I highly recommend working with John.

A true gentleman and faithful Christian

While always respecting religious traditions, Mr. Liston assisted me with personal administrative issues regarding my church and and archdiocese (the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America). Mr. Liston advised me and worked closely and efficiently with me so that an equitable resolution to my issue... would be reached with my ecclesiastical superiors.

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 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.
