Professional, dependable, compassionate.

I was told by 2 attorneys that I didn’t have a case when I was looking for full custody of my children. John was the blessing I needed. He took and won my custody case and I am forever grateful.

Superbly Handled Everything Start to Finish!

My case was extremely involved and it was very difficult to find an attorney brave enough to get involved beyond the initial consultation. John stepped up and agreed to help, and help he did. He provided great counsel and support and laid out a winning strategy which led to a great outcome. I am so ...pleased that John handled my case and highly recommend his services. He truly cares and will guide you safely every step of the way.

Discrimination lawyer | Jun 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I enthusiastically endorse John Credell. John is a rare breed, in that he "gets it." He has a practical understanding of what can and cannot be done, honed no doubt over many years of litigation, and a keen sensitivity for those issues that make a case valuable. He knows the local judges and the local attorneys, too, which allows him to maximize the case value for his clients. Most importantly, he sincerely cares about his clients, often going far beyond the scope of what is typically done. Hire him if you want the best."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
