"If I had to retain counsel to represent me in litigation, John would be one of the only ones in Dallas I would ever consider!!"
"I endorse this lawyer. Without question one of Dallas' finest attorneys, regardless of field. Superb preparation and impressive intellect, you simply cannot do better than to retain Mr. Schorsch to represent you in difficult legal situations."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have know John for the better part of the past ten (10) years. I can think of very few attorneys who I respect as much as John. Should I ever have the need to hire an attorney, John would clearly be at the top of the list of attorneys that I would contact."

"It is my sincere pleasure to endorse Mr. Schorsch as one of the most talented litigators that I have known in my 33 years of practice. Although I practice primarily in a different state, we have worked on cases in both Texas and Colorado a number of times together. We also consult with one another periodically and I call Mr. Schorsch when I have an especially complicated family law matter. While he specializes in the more complex and "upper end" financial cases, he is also the best there is in Texas for all types of family law and other litigation, including custody disputes. I recommend him highly and without reservation. David Heckenbach, Founding and Managing Partner of Heckenbach Thompson Suazo and Dave LLP: www.htsdlaw.com"
"I endorse this lawyer. John is a knowledgable and worthy adversary. He is a vigorous advocate, but is also a gentleman and willing to work things out with opposing counsel when it is in the best interest of the parties."
"John is a first class attorney with a reputation for being extremely professional and persuasive in the courtroom. He is intimidated by no one. I endorse him as one of the best attorneys in Dallas."
