About John
Biography
Mr. Ross, or 'Tony' as he in known among friends and colleagues, has a passion for Personal Injury Trial Law, and helping those who have been injured due to the negligence of others. Whether it be car or motorcycle accidents, commercial trucking (18-wheeler) accidents, premises liability cases, or complex wrongful death litigation, the firm is positioned to provide superior representation to anyone in need. Should we accept your case, we do so on a contingency-fee basis, which means that you pay us nothing unless we recover for you.
Over the past 17 years, Mr. Ross has developed an excellent reputation as an aggressive, yet approachable trial attorney, and today, the majority of the firm's clients are referrals from past clients and local attorneys. A narrowly-tailored, client-focused approach allows the firm more time to effectively and diligently represent each and every client. Because the number of cases taken is limited, the firm is able to provide an attention to every case which can be very hard to find. Mr. Ross is an AV-Rated (highest possible peer rating for integrity and skill) attorney by Martindale Hubbell, and has been named a Super Lawyer, by Thomson Reuters, every year since 2014.
