Cannon Law Firm

Mr. Cannon was exceedingly professional and friendly. I was most impressed with his timely follow-up and feedback via email and phone. Throughout the divorce process, Mr. Cannon helped direct and lead with expert advise and trustworthy management through all legalities.

Posted by Phillip | June 02, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

John is amazing!

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 intervie...w. 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.

He is very sharp and resourceful and he has be...en very attentive and responsive to my needs, John is very polite and professional and he always has a great attitude. John always took the time to go over everything and explain everything in depth. I've enjoyed working with John and his team and would recommend him to other clients.

Posted by anonymous | January 03, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

I have used Mr. Cannon on 3 separate cases in the past 4 years

Mr. Cannon represented me on a felony, misdemeanor and civil case these past 4 years. He fought for my rights in all 3 cases and I have been very pleased with all of my outcomes. John is very thorough, explanatory, and un biased. He was not judgemental and very supportive. I definitely recommend Mr. ...Cannon and his law firm.

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.
