Great listener, experienced, genuine white-hat lawyer. Great guy.

John was my attorney for a case in 2013-2014. He was amazing. Absolutely fantastic guy. When he looks at you and listens and asks questions, it's like talking to an Old West sheriff/justice of the peace. He is smart, perceptive, takes cases he believes in personally, and is a relentless champion for ...the case/cause that he has chosen to take up. You are not going to find a better person or a better lawyer. He is the opposite of every negative lawyer stereotype you've heard, and better than the most heroic movie lawyer you've ever seen. I can't speak highly enough of him. Words don't do it.
