I am the President of my Company

John Hurney is a very capable attorney. He kept me informed of how my case was going on a very regular basis. He also took all my calls and answered my questions. When in depositions he knew how to handle himself and took the lead as I was a bit unnerved (it was the first time I had gone through a...nything like this). John is also a very compassionate attorney. He and his wife became my friends. I highly recommend his if you need an attorney.

Avvo Rating

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.
