For our family law case John Fenley was great. Cool under pressure and knowledgeable, making you comfortable with his representation.

Mr. Fenley made me feel extremely comfortable and put me at ease in a hurry. As a person that can be a bit on the high maintenance side, he did everything in his powers to make things right, and was an extremely understanding, professional, and laid back. I highly recommend his services for all yo...

Mr. Fenley was extraordinarily patient, professional, and diligent in his handling of my divorce case. He was focused and deliberate when discussing legal strategy, but also friendly and understanding when it came to dealing with the more personal side of family law.

My husband and I hired John Fenley to handle a Step-Parent adoption and terminate the rights of the biological father. John was very knowledgeable and most importantly, very compassionate to our needs. It was a very lengthy battle and there were many road blocks; however, John kept us on the right pa...
"I have worked with John on several different matters as both an opposing counsel and as guardian ad litem. John has always been very professional, is obviously very knowledgeable about our area of law, and is very timely--both in court and with responses to inquiries. He is a pleasure to work with, and I would feel comfortable referring a family member or friend to him."
"John is a very good attorney who is reasonable when it comes to settlement terms, but knows when he needs to fight for his clients. I often refer cases to Mr. Fenley and his firm when I am conflicted out. I do not give out endorsements lightly, but wholeheartedly endorse Mr. Fenley."
