John Massih

If you are looking for a trustworthy, ethical and relatable Estate Attorney, you should make an appointment to meet John Massih. John is a seasoned estate attorney, who knows the law. He is able to translate mind numbing legalese into understandable terms for the average person. He takes time to g...et to know his clients, and their needs - and will work to safeguard their interests, and keep plans up-to-date. We are very happy with the comprehensive family trust and related estate services he has provided to us. He has even taken the time to meet with our adult children, to explain the trust, and the general protocol to follow when it needs to be enacted. We highly recommend John Massih and his staff.

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.
