John Eric Sutton

John Sutton was all gushing with confidence and support given all information about a case, made very clear to him about the specifics. He was late to court, late night conversations (b/c) he wouldn't return phone or emails during the day...so later night conversations were slurred and nonsensical on... his end. He was not only not prepared at court, which were continually delayed due to his negligence and lack of preparation and had no answers or defense for the judge that Sutton should have known. These were discussed and he had all the information on this case of innocence. He was trying a case of innocence that was easily provable had he done any research or remembered the specifics of the case as well as evidence that would easily show innocence, He failed to asked opposing counsel questions, or demonstrated any facts in the case or request the information that PROVED this was the wrong person. The outcome, due to his lack of counsel resulted negative on our behalf. He didn't care, was unprepared and mostly appeared incapacitated. The only thing he seemed to be on top of, thanks to his office manager was the continual billing. Bad, bad deal. Look elsewhere. I write reviews with integrity. Good reviews so many are deserving, but not reviewed by many and they mean so much. Negative reviews, I think long and hard about knowing how serious they should be before you put that out there, so my negatives are very seldom. This negative review not only is warranted, but very deserving. I would represent myself or a family member before I would use this cluster of mistakes named John E Sutton. Sad but true. Look elsewhere for you own sake.

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!
