Amazing Representation and Successful Not Once but Twice

I cannot recommend John Pfister highly enough! He represented me in two separate child custody modification cases – and we were successful in both. John was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. He always kept me informed, explained my options clearly, ...and fought hard to achieve the best outcome for my family. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I now have the peace of mind I was hoping for. If you are looking for a compassionate, skilled, and effective family law attorney, John Pfister is the one you want on your side.

100% Committed to you as a client!!!!

John and his staff were the perfect fit for me and my situation. I was going through a first divorce with kids, it was exhausting and brutal. John and his team not only helped me get through it professionally they helped me get through it mentally and emotionally. They were a sense of reason and a br...eath of fresh air through the entire process. Helping in everyway to make sure I was getting what I wanted, which was my kids as much as possible. John and his staff are a amazing group and I would recommend them to anyone looking for legal family help. Thank you again for everything you have done for me, I cannot thank you enough

When losing is not an option

John Pfister has been an exceptional family attorney for me during some seriously tumultuous times. My ex and I have gone through two different modifications (for reasons I will not go into). John overwhelmingly beat both attorneys both times and I now have primary custody of my son. #Fathersrights... A few times I was frustrated about the lack of communication but it turned out that the lack of communication was because there was nothing to tell me. Instead of billing me to tell me nothing he waited until we had a reason to talk. Many people want their attorney to hand-hold them through a very emotional time but that can get expensive. I appreciated that he looked out for my money as well as my child. My ex’s attorney charged her like she was a money printing press. She paid 3x more than I did and John and I had a 100% win in court for my child. I read another review about John that said all he cared about was winning for his client; um…isn’t that the whole point of hiring him?? Overall he did everything I needed, he got my child everything he needed, he kept me calm throughout the process (even when I was anything but calm), and charged a fair price for an attorney of his caliber. I highly recommend John Pfister and so do 2 of my friends who have had the same success with him.

Excellent!

John was excellent in the court room, but the real work happened behind the scenes. He negotiated with all parties so that we could finalize the details before the judge. He helped us avoid going to trial and pushed for our best interests from start to finish. It is clear that he is highly thoug...ht of by others who work family law. I would highly recommend him to anyone with a family law matter.

Excellent! Trust John!

Impressive knowledge of family law and negotiating with other attorneys and courts. I am in the first stages of my case, but so far I am extremely impressed and trust that John will execute on my best interests with very little guidance from me. He has already made significant progress in a short ...period of time. He is very judicious with his time, yet shows sincere compassion and sensitivity. I recently had to change lawyers and so glad I found John. I would highly recommend him!
