Posted by John | December 17, 2009 | Lawsuits & Disputes

Intelligent, Unwavering, Committed Representation

John represented me in a suit where a former client sued me. His breadth and depth of knowledge in the law applicable to my case was impressive. He was tenacious, professional, and handled my case at both the trial and appellate levels in the most expeditious and competent manner. I cannot recommen...d John and his firm highly enough.

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.
