John in criminal defense of misdemeanor

John helped me plea my case to the district judge when in major need of civil guidence and direction years back after suffering traumatic injuries. In his consultation of less than 90 mins he explained what we had to do to get me on the right path and to stay on it. With out his help to plea the cas...e of the defense for me, my charges may not have been lowered by a lot to disturbing the peace. I highly recommend his skills in consultation and in court cases of misdemeanor offenses.

confident & caring with extreme knowledge

I have had the pleasure of Johns representation for my self twice now. He initially handled my divorce with extreme confidence and even advised me when I vented to him, about an ongoing occurrence with my ex spouse. The second time was several years later. I needed John again to represent myself reg...arding my custodial rights and child support issues. He is confident in every aspect of law and at the same time concerned with your feelings and the affects an outcome could have on others. I would recommend him to anyone in need of excellent legal representation.

Divorce

John did an excellent job. He told me I must listen to him & take his advice, which is difficult, but I put my trust in him & he did an excellent job. Thank you John

Worst ever!

Be warned...John has a quite demeanor and is smart but that is where the good ends. If you are a male...he will help your ex get everything she asks for. He will not argue anything. He volunteered to spend my retainer because I had money...not lets split the cost. He didn't even ask me... He spent an... hour $350 talking on the phone with the other lawyer! He asks for a 3,500 retainer... he will find a way to spend every penny. When you hear jokes about lawyers...he is the butt of that joke. The fact that he ran for judge should not help you choose him. He is the worst of the worst and you have been warned!!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
