"Johnny on the spot"

When our daughter found herself on the wrong side of the law and in juvenile detention, her mother and I were heartbroken and didn't know what to do. Lucky for us, we found John. After taking the time to explain the ins and outs of the juvenile system, John got our little girl out of detention and ...eventually convinced the judge to put her on informal probation even though the DA's office wanted her convicted! He was very direct in letting us know what was going on and we never had a problem getting a hold of him if we had a question. I Highly Recommend him!

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.
