John Jay Negley Jr

Mr. John Negley, Mr. Michael Rutowski and staff has been a beacon of light for my children and I at a time when I thought our fight for justice and the likelihood of a satifactory resolution seemed dimmed on impossibility. Not only did they fight for my 7 children and I but they did it with such int...elligence, kindness and most of all compassion. I have felt a sense of security knowing that my children and I will finally be protected and justice would prevail. I could not have asked for better representation by such bulldog tenacity yet with lawyers with a heart of gold. I am forever grateful.

About 5 years ago I hired Negley Law to take over a case which had been lingering for 7 years of non-stop harassment and legal actions. I had invested close to twenty thousand dollars in my legal case at that point and had still received no relief, no good outcomes. That changed almost immediately ...when John Negley took over. He quickly put an end to the constant court filings, got my child support reduced to the level it should’ve been all along and successfully defended me against my ex-wife’s lies about payments. When my ex came back this year again he was able to reach a settlement number with them that I could live with and be done with it all forever. He is an amazing lawyer, person and has the skills and desire to work out something fair and put it to bed once and for all. I highly recommend Negley Law for any of your family law needs!

After interviewing 3 attorneys I hired John Negley to represent me in challenging a 24 year spousal support order in Ventura County. John is a direct, concise, experienced and engaging attorney who very candidly reviewed and discussed the strengths and weaknesses of my case. John did not pressur...e or use any type of sales approach---rather, he very skillfully outlined the merits of going back to court to seek a reduction/elimination of long term spousal payments. All our interactions were highly professional, straightforward and had a tangible plan. He does not overpromise, but gives you a realistic idea of the process and likely outcomes. I felt John managed the verbal and written communication with opposing counsel with confidence and and strength and possessed considerably more experience. He developed a strategy each step of the way and delivered positive results for me. We avoided costly court appearances and settled out of court, ending with full and forever spousal support elimination. I would not hesitate to hire John and his team to represent me.

Going through a divorce was the last thing I ever thought I would have to deal with until about 5 years ago. When I met with John for my initial consultation I was a mess. I was emotionally drained and completely lost with what steps I needed to take. John sat and listened to all my concerns. He ...explained the process to me and took time to answer all my questions. There wasn’t any doubt in my mind that he would be the best attorney for me. John and his team worked very closely with me throughout my entire divorce process. His office made sure to call and email me with court date reminders. John also met with me before and after each court date to make sure I knew what was going on and answer all of my question. Going through a divorce rocks your world and is extremely personal. Having an attorney in your corner that you can count on is a MUST. I have been back to court w/ my ex a number of times over the past 5 years. Last month I called John's office needing assistance yet again. Knowing that I have John Negley in my corner gives me confidence and comfort that my legal matters are going to be fine. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and quite impressive in court. I can not thank John Negley enough for getting me through one of the most difficult times in my life. I have and will continue to refer him to anyone I know needing a FANTASTIC Family Law Attorney.

My daughter was served with child custody papers out-of-the-blue and we needed help, fast. After extensive research and interviews with various law offices, we chose John Negley, Jr. Turned out to be the best thing we could have done. From day one, John and his staff were an invaluable resource and a...lly. They knew the law, they knew the court system and staff, and they knew how to ‘push’ for my daughters rights and objectives without making the situation worse. They were compassionate professionals who helped develop a response strategy that put the needs of the child first. After all was said and done, not only did my daughter retain custody, but the amended custody agreement was far better than what she started with, and far better than she could have imagined. I highly recommend them, and won’t hesitate to make them my first call if the need arises again. Thanks, John!
