John M. Liston

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!

I reached out to John based on a peer recommendation. I had a response from him within a few hours and we were able to work through 2 employment contract matters within the day. He was able to provide a holistic viewpoint and fair and balanced counsel. I would certainly recommend him in the future to... anyone.

I hired John to what I thought would be a short mediation, which has turned into a longer battle. Although I have not received resolution at this time, I can confidently say I have the best attorney possible for my issues (EEO) with my employer. John is extremely empathetic, honest and always resp...onds to calls/emails in a timely manner (same day). John is extremely professional and also very personable. He has offered his legal expertise on other issues outside the scope of my employment issues (such as reviewing a FOIA request). John will be upfront and honest if something is out of his scope of expertise. John is an incredibly kind person and has become what I consider a friend, but he is also not afraid to fight. After seeing him in mediation and correspondence with attorneys from my employer, John fiercely fought for me in a stern and professional manner, which gave me the utmost confidence in his abilities and integrity. John never talked or pressured me into taking a bad deal. In fact, he comforted me that he was in this for the long run. This is the kind of guy John is. I cannot say enough good things about his skills and character, John has been incredible and I will continue to use or at the minimum - consult with him regarding any issues dealing with any future employment issues.

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.

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.
