May the truth prevail...

Four & a half years ago I was involved in a situation where another group of people brought a fight to me at my house, and then they grabbed a gun. Even though I proceeded to defend myself, warding off the 3 other people, I was arrested on 2 felonies. After I was bailed out of jail, I shopped for an ...attorney throughout the whole southern half of Idaho. I quickly learned that an attorney's attitude towards your case is a direct reflection of what your outcome is likely to be. All that John wanted from start was the truth, which I gladly offered. Eventually, my case was dismissed in Owyhee Co., and it was handed over to the USAF where I was court-martialed. There, I found myself facing 3 felonies, 2 misdemeanors, and 15 years at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. After a 3 day trial, with Mr. John Sutton on my side, and the truth prevailing, I'm proud to say that I have heard "We the jury hear by find the defendant (my name) not guilty all charges". A full acquittal is what John was after, and a full acquittal is what John and I received. The reference that sent me to him said "he gets what he wants in the courtroom", and I can attest to that. He's not there to judge you or your character, he's only after the truth. I'm thankful everyday to be a free man, that I get to continue doing my job in the USAF, and I would not be where I am today without John. Thank you!

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.
