If you are looking for an AWESOME Lawyer, look no further!

I met with several attorneys prior to selecting John Pineau. John was by far the most understanding, straight forward and non-judgmental of them all. My case was very uncommon and a difficult one to take on. John was with me every step of the process and we worked for over three years on my case! Th...e way John prepares for each hearing is absolutely incredible, he leaves no angle unthought-of. I felt confident at every hearing knowing that we were always 10 steps ahead of the prosecutor. He is the most determined, intelligent, hardworking and logical person I have ever met. He WILL do everything he can to help you. I understand the nightmare you are more than likely facing right now. I want you to know you don’t have to take this all on alone. John will help give you the confidence and determination to stand up and fight for what is right. I can honestly say that John and his team genuinely cared about me, gave me hope when I thought all hope was lost and in the end, we achieved our goal of saving my life. What else can you ask for? Don’t waste your time and money on anyone else! My heart goes out to all who have been wrongfully accused and have become victims of our judicial system. Please, allow John to help you fight back!

Powerful Representation. Highly recommend!

John Pineau is one of the best advocates for a client I have experienced in my legal career. There is no case too simple or none too complex for his representation. John does his homework and approaches every stage of the proceedings prepared and ready to do battle for his client. His experience ...ranges from first degree murder cases to sex assault cases. He is one of the best I have seen when it comes to defending persons accused of any type sex offense. He is non-judgemental and will work every case with the effective representation every person accused deserves. When you choose John Pineau you have an advocate who gets to know you, cares about you and will go to bat for you. I have worked with some of the best and John Pineau ranks up there with all of them. With John K. Pineau you get your moneys worth and then some!!

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.
