Excellent attorney

John took on 2 cases for me at once and was very thorough and thoughtful. When he says he is going to do something, he does. He walks you through the best actions to get the best results. I'm very thankful for him. They're is no way I could have made out as good as I did without going broke. He'...s a good Ole bit with a big heart. I highly recommend him. He helped me in my protective order and divorce. Thank you John

Public Reprimand issued in UT, 2020
