Great lawyer

He and his team are quick to respond and kept me up to date all along the way. Great to work with and he had my back 100%. I really feel that you can count on him as well.

Competent and Encouraging

When I was developing a new product for the pet industry I knew I needed to look into patent and trademark protection. Fortunately, I was able to have John guide me through everything that needed to be done. He not only gave competent advice but was also very encouraging in my endeavor. Al...ong the process I never once felt I was getting price gouged or pressured to purchase any services I didn't need. This was very important to me. In sum, if you need a sound lawyer (and firm) to guide you through your legal (or startup business) endeavor - I would HIGHLY recommend John...!

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.
