Excellent Attorney

I was referred to Mr. Jones by another, successful Family Law Attorney in vegas who admittedly would not go in front of a particular judge stating, everyone hates her. He suggested I call Mr. Jones as he admitted having been successful in her courtroom. I was on the final leg of my proper person, S...upreme Court appeal of alimony and child support. By this time I had been divorced for two years, had been through two attorneys and was paying nearly $50k a year in alimony. With eight more years to go. I needed an attorney that could hit it out of the park and take this home. I met Mr. Jones the night before court! Talk about a leap of faith. After our consultation I knew he was the right attorney for the job; his knowledge of appeals, family law, alimony awards, his vocabulary, and overall demeanor convinced me he could finish the job. And that he did. One persuasive court appearance, one hell of a convincing argument and one month of agonizing waiting later, he cinched the deal. The judge literally stamped his submission as Order and today my alimony nightmare is over. Sure, the EX came back and attempted all sorts of desperate measures, but Mr. Jones told me not to worry and shot him down. And he hasn't been back since. It was a long and expensive journey, and if it weren't for Mr. Jones I doubt I would feel the relief and peace of mind I do each day. He's intelligent, logical, persuasive and was even praised by the judge for being an excellent writer. That he is. His legal assittent Cheryl is equally professional and attentive. I had copies of opposing counsel's submissions within hours of filing. I was asked for my input before publication on all documents and kept apprised of all matters. Mr. Jones is a professional, competent, honest attorney and capable of managing your family court matters, from Supreme Court Appeals to no-contest divorce. Meet him and you'll agree.

Best High Conflict Divorce Attorney in Las Vegas!!! Hands Down!!!!!!!

John was the third attorney to take on my divorce case. My first 2 attorneys were too incompetent to be able to deal with my contemptuous EX (who was in Proper Person and thought was above the law.), to understand the complexity of the assets and business holdings that needed to be split, and the ...child custody battle. I had to find an attorney who could understand these basic things to me but not to most attorneys I would imagine. I paid over $25,000.00 between the first 2 attorneys and they weren't worth a penny of it. I hired John and he won every trial, EH, and even had my ex sent to jail for not following the Decree. He always returned my phone calls and kept me apprised of my bill and gave me exact billing breakdown. When I saw the previous post about that not being done, I can guarantee all new clients that it is done. I do know what I am paying for. I do know how many hours it took for him to handle a hearing or to do the background work on my case. He never hid a thing from me and I was so relieved that he understood it so very well that I didn't have to fight my case against my attorney again. John understands high net worth individuals, their needs, and their absolute need to have their finances understood and defended by him. I cannot give him enough praise as to how he has handled my case, the very fair amount of money that I have had to pay him, and the results that I have gotten are that I won every single time I went to court and John litigated on my behalf. I have never lost a hearing or a trial with John representing me. I think that the reviews left over the years, John's personal reputation amongst his peers, and my experiences with him over the last 3 years are enough to convince me that I have the best attorney possible for my case. John also has compassion and the ability to make you feel more at ease, calm, and peaceful while going through one of the hardest times in my life. He is fantastic. His knowledge of the law and the rules of conduct are impeccible. I would like to see him as a Family Court Judge in the future. He would be very good at it as he does understand the law and to a point more so than the judge usually does. I give him 5 stars all the way around!!!!

Talk to other attorneys before hiring John Jones

John never returned phone calls. John never kept me informed. Black & Lobello will not give me a billable hours break down for his hours billed, after asking many times. I had to set up getting my husband served divorce papers in California, as his office would not respond. I almost lost the ...restraining order that I also got on my own. John made inappropriate jokes while we were in court with my exhusband. A simple phone call to my ex husbands attorney could have ended the situation in a matter of weeks. Instead my divorce took a year. There we no children. It was a nightmare.

John Jones

Replied last September 10, 2013

From the description of the case, I am not sure if this person was ever a client of mine. It does not sound familiar at all. Why there would be a sudden negative posting is suspect. The allegation regarding not being provided a breakdown of bills is inaccurate as we send out bills monthly with a break down of every charge itemized.

Very Happy Client

Mr. Jones really shines in the courtroom. His level of prowess is unsurpassed in family court. You could pay a lot more money and get a lot less lawyer. Mr. Jones' fees are very reasonable for his level of skill. The fact that he is certified by the State Bar in the area of Family Law is evident.... He has won every trial and every post trial motion for me. I am very satisfied with his services and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him for your family law case.
