Amazing Results

I had the pleasure of working with John on my case. He was very forthright with me from the beginning. He was patient with me and he explained everything that was going to happen with the EEOC and my complaint that I filed. John was able to settle my case without going to court through mediation. Med...iation was a tough day however, John handled himself professionally had my best interest. I would recommend John a hundred times over. In the best thing he got me more money than what I expected.

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.
