John Charles Eastman's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. A great professor very knowledgeable enjoyable lecturer"
"I endorse this lawyer. When it comes to constitutional issues John Eastman is the go to attorney. The media often looks to his views whenever there is a constitutional issue in the press. You could not ask for better representation. John is at the top of his game."
"I have been co-counsel with John in a variety of constitutional law matters, and I am familiar with his work as a Dean and professor at Chapman. He is an extraordinary litigator and legal educator, and I enthusiastically recommend him for major constitutional litigation or any complicated or important litigation work. He has boundless energy, is resilient, agile, and creative, and he's a fiercely effective advocate. I have rarely encountered a legal mind so capable both as to legal theory and as a relentless front line litigator. And he's a pleasure to work with."
