True Professional

John was an absolute lifeline during an incredibly stressful employment dispute. His deep legal expertise and patience for me and my situation immediately put me at ease. He took the time to explain key aspect of the situation, including potential strategies from all sides and what to expect at each ...step. John’s insights and tough, strategic approach helped me achieve a better resolution than I had anticipated. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate!

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.

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!

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.

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.
