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.

Mr. Sutton is one of the strongest legal council in the state of Idaho. He has assisted my family and friends for generations and continues to serve the people in this state with grace, honesty and dignity. His 40+ years of strong values and legal etiquette has always proven himself in and outside ...of the courtroom. Legal council for criminal justice is his strong suit but sometimes under appreciated per the previous and only bad review on this site. I guess you can't please everyone. Perhaps that one bad review just simply didn't want to pay his or her bill? I am aware that Mr. Sutton has represented in business one of the former governor's, as well as many other reputable people and organizations in and around our state. Mr. Sutton does more than criminal law. He helped me in a civil case with stellar results. Thank You John and your amazing staff for all you do! Many appreciate you!
