Lawyer with a BiG Heart
Let me give a little history of what Mr Ross assisted my family to navigate. My stepdad left a confusing will. He basically left my mother with nothing but the right to live in their home of 33 years.. For almost 9 years, the person willed the property attempted to take possession several times. Mr Ross was always well prepared and professional. His communication skills are impeccable. When dealing with him on a client to lawyer level he explained our options in clear and understandable terms. I feel Mr Ross is an expert in the area of Elderly Law and highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of legal council. The cities where his offices are located are very fortunate to have such an excellent lawyer with a big heart representing its elderly.

Excellent Experience
My husband and I hired Mr. John Ross on behalf of my mother. We needed legal advice, wanting to protect her assets and make the best decisions for her at this time in her life. He had the answers we needed and working with Mr. Ross was a positive and encouraging experience throughout a difficult time. My husband and I appreciate his legal advice and his patience.
