About John
Biography
My name is John P. Lonergan. I am a former prosecutor who has been practicing law since 1992. I devote my practice to the handling of criminal and family law matters. Licensed in Missouri, Texas, and Illinois, I have extensive experience in protecting the rights of the accused. I recognize that people require aggressive representation. I also recognize that many attorneys fail to stay in regular communication with their clients. It is my goal, in each and every case I handle, to ensure that your rights are fully protected and that you are always up to date as to the status of your case.
I will promptly return your phone calls, quickly respond to emails, and will make myself available to answer your questions. I regularly provide clients with my cell phone number so I may be reached directly.
