This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A very knowledgeable attorney.

I retained Mr. Trebon on a difficult but serious criminal case. He immediately started working on my case and provided me with legal advice. By his assistance, we obtained services that would help clear my case. The Court cooperated and I was able to obtain other non-lawyer professional assistance. A...t the time of my hearing, my case was dismissed. Without this legal assistance, including advice, I would have not been able to be successful. I would strongly recommend to anyone. He can practice in tribal courts and did provide me legal advice in prior years. With my experience, you would have to pay the cost of getting the best attorney.

Mr. John Trebon..PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGEABLE, & IMPRESSIVE IN ACTION!

We had a difficult Criminal case filed against us being accused of 2 Felony charges. The dispute on this matter began back in 2019 and to no resolve by the end of 2023 which was an exhausting couple of years. Then the harassment & felony charges were made in the beginning of 2024. We hired Mr. Trebon... to represent us as our new counsel as he came highly recommended. We are very grateful to this day that we chose him! We worked very closely with him in providing all of the documentation to support our case. He took all of this information and turned it in to one very strong case of being Not Guilty! His extensive knowledge of the law is beyond impressive, but what was even more impressive and stood out was his performance in the Court room when it mattered the most! Both cases he has represented us in over the past few months were DISMISSED and we are beyond grateful to him. We would highly recommend hiring Mr. Trebon and his staff for any of your legal needs.

A Beacon of Legal Expertise and Dedication

Having experienced challenges with the legal system, I want to share my experience with John Trebon and his office staff Suzy and Jan. After an initial representation with a less-than-favorable outcome, I found John Trebon through a referral. He took over my case, and the difference in dedication and... results was significant. From the start, John Trebon showed a high level of commitment to my case. He reviewed every detail and crafted a strategic approach that was innovative and based on settled case law. What set him apart was not just his legal skills but also how vigorously he defended my rights and interests, and the respect and patience I received from him and his assistants. Facing an unreasonable prosecutor and a challenging legal system, John fought tirelessly. His professionalism and integrity were evident in every interaction, with both the court and me. It was clear that John had earned the respect of his peers and the judge. This respect came from his experience, ethical conduct, legal knowledge, and dedication to justice. John’s efforts led to a complete dismissal of my case. This outcome seemed beyond my hopes, especially considering the civil rights issues he addressed. John represented me with the belief and vigor as if the case were his own. For anyone facing legal challenges, I highly recommend John Trebon. His representation protected my relationship with my children and my livelihood. John Trebon is not just an attorney; he is a champion for his clients.

He gets the job done

We engaged John Trebon to represent us in a baseless civil suit with a neighbor, usually the most frustrating and complicated matters to handle because emotion is involved. John stayed at it, was sympathetic to our plight, was able to think out of the box, showed excellent negotiating skills and, mo...st importantly, got results. Legal costs today are not cheap, but we got our monies worth. He has great contacts throughout northern Arizona. We would use him again.

saved me from false accusations from my ex-wife

I live in Wa. State and my ex-wife is from tuba city area we had a standard marriage going on with a good career, house, dog and a fenced yard. Until it it all fell apart and she headed back to tuba city area where she falsely accused me of everthing under the sun with her goal of getting 100% of ev...erything that we acquired over the years. i had to call around flagstaff looking for representation and i found John Trebon which was the best decision I've ever made in my life. Not joking, because of what was at stake, my freedom, my truck & tools, my dog, and my half of our assetts that we acquired over the last 20 years. So I could solidly say that he saved my life and pulled me from the lions mouth. From the start John and his Secretary were very easy to work with and very good at explaining the process and keeping me updated on what was going to happen. sometimes he would tell me just to hang tight and that there was nothing for me to do at the moment. Or he would ask me to type up explanations for certain subjects. John was well aware what was on the line for me and he did what ever it took to make sure I didn't get taken advantage of by the court or by my ex-wife. He didn't stop fighting until the judge said she had all the informatiln she nseds to make a judgement. He is firm in his words and very knowlegeable and professional in his ways inside the courtroom. So from the start to the end of this legal advenfure I went on John was alawys there to answer any of my concerns and would reassure me that everything will be ok. Thank You John Trebon and your Assistant.
