Incredible attorney, delivered amazing results!

John Schleiffarth is simply incredible! His calm nature, open communication, and brilliant strategies helped us through a very difficult time. While most lawyers were disinterested in my federal case, John was inquisitive and provided hope that more can be done. John's entire staff is professional, k...ind, and helpful as I spent over 18 months working with John from our first meeting through sentencing. John is everything you would want in an attorney, I was lucky to have him on my side. John always told me the truth both good and bad and provided me with leveled expectations from start to finish. I trusted John from our first conversation, and so did my family. In the end we got the best possible outcome of probation when years in prison seemed inevitable. Thanks again John!

Excellent Reperesentation

I was referred to John by a previous client of his in anticipation of a federal investigation. John set up a meeting the following day and explained the best course of action. While it turns out no such investigation was ongoing (my mistake) John was EXTREMELY thorough in checking all possible avenue...s for criminal (or civil) liability. I hope to never need an attorney again, but if I do John will be my first call.

Competent, Effective Representation

I contacted John seeking guidance on a property-related issue. He responded to all correspondence (email & phone) usually within only a couple of hours throughout the representation (which lasted approximately 5 months). From start to finish, John was consistent in his candidness and analysis of my c...ase, which I appreciated very much. From my perspective, each interaction I had with John throughout my representation was productive - succinct emails, cordial, but concise calls, and consistent informative updates. It was clear that he was moving the ball forward in my case. The final disposition of my matter fit squarely within the expectations that John had set in our initial consultation. Honest, straight-forward analysis and advice from beginning to end.

Exceptional, Capable & Professional

Dear Mr Schleiffarth, Words are simply not enough to thank you for the amazing job, you have done thus far with my brother's case. From the get go you have proven to be exceptional, capable and professional. You were extremely empathetic during my hour of need and as a physician, I could not have ask...ed for better representation for him. You have been very honest with us and as far as I am concerned, you are a miracle worker. Thank you so much for everything you have done

Someone you can really trust.

I was impressed right away with John Schleiffarth with how confident he was about being able to help me with my case. I faced up to 57 years in prison. He got all my felony charges dropped. I’ll tell you a little about my story. I went to school in Rolla, MO, at Missouri S&T. I had everything going g...reat for me and I had a misunderstanding with a cop. I was charged with up to 57 years in prison. I am a good person. I had really never been in trouble with the law. But when I was looking for lawyer I interviewed every lawyer in Rolla. There was no one there I believed could can handle my case so I looked online for whoever had great reviews. I interviewed some but they all pretty much told me the same thing. They told me that I won’t do all 57 years, they told me I would do more like 7 years. I didn’t want to do any time because I didn’t do anything. John called me back when I was on my way to see another lawyer and he gave me so much confidence over the phone. I didn’t want to waste my time going anywhere else. I liked his confidence and that he didn’t care who he had to go against or piss off to make sure that I didn’t do any time. He made time to meet with me that day. I drove two and a half hours to see him. I was so happy that he believed me. I asked him if he had a plan to help me and he explained it. He went to work right away. Most important, he succeeded. I was extremely pleased. I recommend John for any serious criminal problem.
