Custody Battle

Years ago I divorced my wife and in my divorce I lost everything. At the time I did not have John as my attorney. My ex filed for full custody and accused me of abusing our child. I immediately retained John after hearing many wonderful things about him. The end result of my case with John's represen...tation was everything I wanted and more. John proved my ex was lying and I got to keep custody of my child, and my ex has to pay even more child support than before. Excellent trial attorney, excellent and super friendly staff, and pays attention to your needs. John is the attorney you should hire if you want to win your custody case. He has tons of experience and the other lawyer and the judge really seemed to like him and respect what he was saying.

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.
