John Alexander Pinnell's Lawyer Endorsements
"John is a brilliant attorney! I enjoy watching him work his way through the system to find the best way out for his clients!"
"John is a great guy and a great lawyer. I suspect it was his military training which makes him such a fierce adversary in the courtroom. Without being overly aggressive, John is not afraid of the the DA and has no fear of going to trial when warranted. I have known John for over 2 decades and I endorse this lawyer."
