Review John Cannon

Went above and beyond

5.0 stars

Posted by

Mr. Cannon was quick to respond to my request to meet, was professional in every interaction, and most importantly, he used his good professional standing with important contacts to help accelerate my timeline for my specific life needs. While my experience will be impossible to replicate exactly, I can say with confidence that Mr. Cannon will work with you and your needs toward the best possible resolution for you. He will not treat you like just one more client to run through the assembly line. Mr. Cannon has my firm endorsement for those of you looking for professionalism and client care.

When I contacted John Cannon and his firm , I was very skeptical . I needed an attorney. Not just any attorney, but a good attorney because of my past . I came in and met with John and explain to him my situation. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and with my past , I was very scared about my upcoming battle with the judicial system . John did not judge me or make me feel inferior . He treated me like I was just like any of his other clients. When you have a past , people tend to stereo type you , but he did not . John did not. He wast straight forward. Told me his plan. He made me feel at ease. John is one of the best attorneys I have ever had the privilege to meet .He fought for me and got my case dismissed. If you're looking for an attorney and want somebody that will fight for you and your rights, then you need to call John Cannon. I owe him my life.

Special Thanks To Mr Elliot with the John Cannon Firm

5.0 stars

Posted by

I contacted John Cannons firm seeking legal representation and Mr Douglas Elliott handled my case. I called several different firms prior but after speaking to Mr Elliott I knew I found the right guy. From beginning to end everything went right. I was facing an unjust situation & Mr Elliot fought hard for me & got better results than I had even anticipated. In the courtroom Mr Elliot is witty, quick thinking & spoke well defending my case. He had the stern judge overseeing my case laughing when everyone else was walking on eggshells. I highly recommend Douglas Elliott. He did a great job and was very reasonable on price. No surprises unless they were good surprises. 5 Star rating⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Words cannot express how grateful our family is for making time to advise and represent our son. Our son was a suspect of a crime of which he was falsely accused and was asked to visit with law enforcement. Without John we would not have known how to navigate the process of a law enforcement interview. A very scary thing and something none of us in the family knew how to handle. On short notice (less than 24 hours before the interview) John agreed to meet with our family and attend the interview with our son. In short, the interview was a success and the falsity of the accusations were uncovered. Without John and his advise who knows how the interview would have gone. John is a kind, compassionate, and wise lawyer with a heart for doing the right thing.
