Watch out!

I got an advertisement in the mail from Mr. Bledsoe. I called his office and they told me to come in for a free consultation. I was already 3 years into my divorce at this point and I was hiring him to wrap things up. John assured me all my problems would be solved by hiring him. Told me everything... I wanted to hear. After that free consultation I hired John. That was the last time I spoke to Mr. Bledsoe. For the next couple months his assistant would shoot me emails letting me know what I had to get him. Never any help or explanation from John about my case. A couple months go by with absolutely nothing getting accomplished other than my retainer being eaten up. We get to my court date and Johns assistant calls me the day before and tells me my retainer is all gone and I will need to give them more money for him to represent me on my court date. I don't believe he had any idea what was even going on in my case. He decided to go to court with me but once we got there all we talked about is how much money I can give him to re-up my retainer. He gave me a pile of documents and told me to see if I can find something:). That's the only case advice I received from him. I had two lawyers during this process. The first was very good, should have called him again. If you want to waste time and a ton of money call John. If you want a lawyer that will put effort and communicate with you during your divorce. Do not call Mr. Bledsoe. *He also billed me for that free consultation so watch for that if you make the mistake.

Replied last July 07, 2016

I try very hard to please my clients. As a result, the reviews my office and my staff gets are overwhelmingly positive. We are a winning law firm that gets excellent results for our clients. I regret that this client did not have a positive experience. In this case the matter was simply going to require another court appearance and some substantial work in between which did require that the client's retainer be replenished before more work would be done. I wish it could have been different. However, the Court system can cause delays that are beyond anybody's control. We want very badly to have satisfied clients as we greatly appreciate the many referrals we get from our past clients. We will work to assure this type of experience does not recur.

Excellent attorney, top notch service

If you are looking for a tough divorce attorney, hire John. I was so happy with how he handled my case. His front office staff is great too. He's very experienced and it shows.

Grandparents rights

Mr. Bledsoe assisted us in getting custody of our granddaughter. She was with her birth parents and the situation was not where any child should be. Other attorneys had told us it would be almost impossible to get custody from birth parents. Mr. Bledsoe fought hard and really new the law. He assure...d us that grandparents do have rights, especially when it is in the best interest of the child. We are so very grateful to Mr. Bledsoe for all he did in getting us full custody of our granddaughter. He was always there for us and we would recommend him highly to anyone that needs a honest and hardworking attorney.

I got to move away with my children

I was in a desperate situation with a controlling ex-husband who lived out of the Country part time and had convinced the judge that I should not be able to move to be near my family. My previous attorney had little success. Mr. Bledsoe came on the case. We had a trial. He was very strong and I could... tell that the judge listened to him. Mr. Bledsoe destroyed my ex on his cross examination of him. The next thing I knew I was allowed to move with my children where I could be near to my extended family. I would recommend John and his staff.

He is willing to fight for you!!

I could not have had a better Attorney. I had a very complex custody case. My ex-husband refused to return our daughter from her 10 day visitation. He filed for emergency custody. I had to come from out of state to fight for custody. Mr. Bledsoe and his team jumped into high gear and were immediately... ready for this battle. It was shocking and painful to have my daughter kidnapped and totally alienated from me. Because of my ex-husband's lies and his manipulation of our daughter, I was very sure that I was going to lose custody of my daughter. Mr. Bledsoe had complete control. I watched as he completely turned that train wreck around. I was in awe at how he worked and the control he exhibited in getting my daughter back for me. Each step of the way, he knew precisely what to do next. I walked out of that courtroom with sole physical custody of my daughter! He was powerful in his strategy. John Bledsoe is someone you want on YOUR side in the courtroom. He has a commanding personality that people respect. He was always kind and attentive to me. He has the highest degree of integrity. I totally trust him. I knew I was getting the highest quality of work from him. I knew his advise to me was not only educated and experienced, but was 100% honest also. Most important of all, he was willing to fight for me.
