Honest, Upfront, Competent, Hard Working, Fair

I searched around and spoke to about 10 different attorneys. All of them wanted to charge me a much higher price than what I was quoted from John. My case was really pretty straightforward since the allegations were false and there was no evidence. John understood this and spent just the right amount... of time to get everything dropped; so that I was charged a low amount and nothing more than what was necessary. Additionally, John went above and beyond what I expected by following up with me to ensure the charges were dropped and it wouldn't be a problem in the future. I understand every case is unique, however If you are looking for an honest, competent, and hard working attorney, I recommend contacting John Raggio right away.

Affordable and great!

John did a fantastic job representing me. The case resulted in a dismissal. He got the right results and now I can get it off my record! He explained to me everything that had to be done and everything that he did throughout the whole process. His price was very affordable and did not charge me an ar...m and a leg for my case. John is very experienced and good at what he does. Not once did I ever feel like I didn't know what was going on, he was there every step of the way. He is the go to lawyer!!!

Great Pick

I was completely satisfied with the representation of John Raggio. He truly keeps your best interest at heart. You get and pay for what you ask for. His advice is sound and true and when you want answers he makes sure that he provides them.

The right guys!

He explained everything to me during my court sessions. He was able to get my conviction reduced and I'm very happy for that! He also showed he cared for what was going on and I felt that from the whole Firm! I appreciate it John!

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.
