Highest recommendation

Worked with him in Ventura County. He knows the people, knows the system, knows the law. Unfortunately my custody case went to a multi-day trial. Fortunately I had John Medlen on my side. Decision could have gone either way, and everything was at stake for my children. The most memorable moment of th...e proceedings was his closing statement, which he delivered calmly, eloquently, and with emotion where appropriate, and which above all demonstrated such a clear understanding of the facts of my case, as well as a brilliant approach to the court's concerns. We got everything we asked for. My children will never know how much of their mental and emotional health they owe to John Medlen, and that's exactly how it should be. In response to the only negative review on this site, in my extensive experience with John Medlen over three years, he has been extraordinarily responsive, always answering communications quickly, even when I occasionally needed advice after-hours or on a weekend.
