Spectacular Attorney!!

I want to take a moment to thank you for all your hard work you put into my case and I appreciate it so much. I will recommend you to everyone looking for a family law attorney. My experience with you was outstanding. You always returned all my calls and answered all my questions and addressed my co...ncerns throughout this entire process.

Very knowledgeable attorney who cares for his clients.** HIGHLY RECOMMEND**

In the worst chapter of my life and in a situation that was absolutely horrible John was there to encourage and assure me that everything was going to be alright. Upon meeting John he was very respectful and kind. Integrity and honestly was evident. John was very direct and straight to the point. ...He always advised me on the best course of actions to resolve my case and explained everything in a way to where a non attorney could understand. He was attentive and quick to respond to any questions I had. His knowledge of the law, professionalism and person-ability over exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend John to anyone whom is going through a family issue and needs representation.

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.
