Responsive, pushed hard in negotiation

John helped me get an insurance case across the finish line. When it became clear that a lowball offer was going to be made, John pushed hard in the negotiation getting to the original value I asked. John is responsive, kind, and helpful. Highly recommend

Amazing lawyer

John has been assisting me with a situation that other lawyers came out and said “you have a case but it’s going to be work”. He did not allow that to stop him from understanding the stress I had on me. I truly appreciate your knowledge and willingness to help! Thank you again for all of your support....

Brilliant attorney and outstanding guy

There are not enough words to adequately describe John. To say he is the most knowledgeable, gifted attorney would be an understatement. In what turned out to be an incredibly long, drug out, nasty case...John held our hands the entire way and took the time to carefully explain each and every step an...d what it would mean for the future of our case. Even when we were unsure if the system would fail us, he constantly reassured us that we were taking all of the correct steps. John never once lost his cool and always took the high road. In court, he was informed, punctual, and to the point. He knows the law and fights to defend it. He is a true class act. We will always consider John family. Thankful he was able to help us defend our rights and bring us some justice. His help and knowledge were priceless.

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.

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.
