John Jones has been my attorney for over ten years. To say that he is a good attorney would be a tremendous understatement. He is a leader among professionals. I retained John to file my divorce appeal. My divorce had been botched by two prior attorneys. John immediately answered my questions and to...ok charge of the situation. My case was very complicated. It included a settlement for my portion of a business. His legal expertise and professional manor proved invaluable during the successful negotiations. Over the years he addressed many of my concerns such as childcare agreement enforcement, and child care expenses. John was compassionate and understanding. I felt as if he was a shield protecting me from all the aggression and vindictive behavior exhibited by my ex-husband. John also filed charges for nonpayment of court required payments toward my share of the business. All my questions and concerns were addressed immediately by him and his wonderful staff. He was successful collecting these payments. Recently, the business was sold. John was directly responsible for collection of my remaining portion of the business. During this whole process John responded to all my questions. Some responses were immediate in the form of a text. My decade long professional relationship with John is one of success and friendship. I would recommend him to anyone looking for possibly the most capable attorney in the city.

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!!!!

I was introduced to Mr. Jones through a friend, and was could not be happier with the progress my case has taken. As a matter of fact, he took over from another attorney and for the first time, I finally feel to be in competent hands. Not only has he kept me informed every step of the way, but has ...gone out of his way to explain each process. Not only is Mr. Jones a paragon of efficiency with paperwork, but you should see him in the courtroom! You don't want to be on the other side if you are up against John Jones. He is truly a master. I would recommend him to anyone, and have personally recommended him to anyone who needs an excellent lawyer.

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.
