Just brilliant

John isn’t just a lawyer, he’s a seer. Having hired him to settle an employee dispute, John worked diligently on my case, guided me through the process, and won!

What a great man!

I can write all day and night about how amazing John is and it wouldn't do him justice. John helped me in creating all the documents I needed for my new business, employees contract, offer letter, employee hand book, family hand book, and company rules. John advised me, and explain to me patiently in... detail every question or concern I had. John is young, driven, Kind, respectful, absolutely intelligent, professional, responsible and responsive, overall a wonderful person who genuinely cares for his clients. I not only found an excellent attorney but a great friend as well. I truly cannot say enough how awesome he is. I highly recommend him.

John Liston is extremely dedicated to his clients' success

I am very grateful to have had John's legal expertise to navigate an otherwise unpleasant and challenging situation. He showed unwavering commitment to ensure that I would achieve the best possible outcome. He was always professional and courteous. He listened carefully to my concerns and patientl...y explained the legal implications and considerations. He was super responsive and always treated me like a valued client no matter what. I highly recommend John without reservation.

John is Superman disguised as a lawyer!

I highly recommend John Liston! At a time that I felt so vulnerable in my work life, John gave me strength. His guidance and patience throughout my whole ordeal with my company, was exceptional. I honestly do not think I would've continued on with my case, were it not for his assistance along the ...way. And one of the best things I can say about John, is that he always lets you know that you're not alone! Even when I felt overwhelmed or simply scared, he reminded me that I had rights and he was there to help me every step of the way! He reviewed all my legal documents to make sure that everything was correct, and it gave me great comfort in knowing that I had his expertise on my side.

Extremely professional assistance in time of greatest need.

Mr. Liston was the attorney that represented both my sister and I with negotiations for a settlement with a large insurance company. Initial offers were incredibly low and we were being bullied continuously by the company adjusters. Mr. Liston stepped in with the knowledge and experience to negotiate... a fair and just settlement for not one but both of us. This negotiation was done quickly and effectively, wrapping up a two year battle in a matter of days. His meticulous oversight followed through until the day we actually received our settlement checks. Mr. Liston is one of the most gifted and most efficient lawyers I have had the pleasure of working with. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone looking to negotiate fair settlements, address difficult or long term insurance issues, and legal advice overall. His negotiation skills are particularly impressive.

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.
