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 has handled both my divorce and custody battle. He has provided me with honest, trustworthy legal representation. He is a top notch attorney who won me the right to leave the state with my children. He operates at a level of honesty, integrity and thoroughness that is hard to find in this day... and age. I would highly recommend hiring him for any family court matters.

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.

I was referred to attorney John Jones for my child custody case. Specifically, the woman that referred me said “you need to call John Jones. He is an incredible litigator and a bull dog in the court room”. This was indeed an accurate, if not understated, referral. I first met John nine months ago... when he and his partner, Michele LoBello took on my child custody case. The specifics of my case were such that my ex-husband of over 10 years with whom I had shared joint custody with had relocated out of state and was now trying to gain primary custody of our daughter so that he could move her out of state to live with him. Since that time, there isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think of John and Michele with an eternal debt of gratitude and sincere admiration. It was because of them and their wonderful team that I have my daughter with me today. John and Michele were a highly effective team that complemented one another very well. John proved himself to be an extremely knowledgeable and skilled attorney who has a masterful understanding of the Rules of Evidence. John argued my case and did so with incredible confidence, passion and conviction. He devoted himself to truly understanding all the details of my case and that understanding was clearly apparent throughout the entire litigation process. John had the arduous task of learning the details of over ten years of history, and then presenting to the Court all the critical aspects of those ten years in a concise, succinct and convincing manner. John expertly did just that in such an accurate and articulate way that it was as if he had lived it himself. John’s tenacity and devotion to my case ultimately led us to victory. John committed himself to staying one step ahead of opposing council at all times, and he did just that. John’s abilities as a litigator were highly impressive and moving. He exemplified integrity, and I felt an intense sense of pride being represented by him. John’s fiery litigation talents were wonderfully balanced by a very kind, caring and sensitive side. He provided me with often needed reassurance and support and honesty that quelled my fears when things got rough. I don’t know what I would have done without John and will be forever grateful for his time, energy, passion, commitment and drive. This was such a huge victory! I thank you John…from the bottom of my heart…I thank you! I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge other wonderful members of the Black and LoBello staff that were invaluable along the way: Stephanie MacKeen, Sharon Hill and Cheryl Berdahl. I am so deeply appreciative of all your hard work and continued support.

Mr. Jones was not my first attorney, but, I wish that he had been. My family law case was, (and continues to be), quite challenging. 30 court appearances in 5 years, including many trials. John performs at the highest possible level all the time. He is knowledgeable and aggressive. He knows the ...law and he knows how to get things done. He never misses a beat. His court appearance is outstanding. His argumentative skills are effective, professional, and they get results. If you want the best, I highly recommend attorney John Jones.
