John Thomas Medlen

Recently, for the first time in our lives, my wife and I were served with a law suit. This was totally out of the blue and came as a complete shock to us. We are senior citizens and the news was very concerning to us. Having never been involved in a law suit we had no idea what to do next and the an...xiety was causing us sleepless nights. John was recommended to us and we set up an in person meeting. My wife and I were quickly put at ease as he throughly explained, in terms we could understand, that we should have nothing to worry about as he didn’t feel the case had merit. He further explained that we did have to follow legal protocol to favorably resolve the issue and that legal representation should be obtained. We were so comfortable with John that we hired him on the spot, as my wife and I both sensed Johns’ decency and fairness - he was going to represent us and he saw us as people in need and not just a pay check. The bottom line - John got the case against us dismissed! We would not hesitate to obtain Johns’ service again, should the need arise and would highly and without reservation recommend him for your legal issues.

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.

John has represented several members of my family. Without John, things would have gone very badly for them. He won their cases, each time and saved them a great deal of money as a result. He's experienced in his field and knows the law. He knows how to apply it to benefit his clients. He's honest an...d has great integrity. He will tell you the truth, even if it's painful. He has experience as a trial lawyer as well. John would be the first person I'd call, if I ever needed a top notch attorney. He will get you the best outcome possible. I highly recommend this man.
