More than just your attorney

John represented me in both criminal and family law cases. In my experience with John he was very knowledgeable and completely honest and upfront with everything . He took the time to explain the good, the bad, the known and unknown. He always gave his full attention to my cases and made me fee...l like my case was his most important case. The best part about having John as an attorney is that he has been such a good source for advice even after my business with him was over. He treats you like a true friend. John is a good attorney who helps those who want to help themselves. I would recommend him to anyone and if needed hire him again.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
