Complete Game Changer
It is hard to put into words the level of gratitude I have for the incredible work John Negley has done for me and my family. After divorcing an abusive and narcissistic husband eight years ago, I endured years of relentless harassment. I had three different attorneys before John, and none of them co...

total failure
John Negley seemed to collude with the opposing party in my case. I went to court many times to find him chatting and laughing with my ex. He also spent $10k of my money in one month on "fees." John is an extreme conservative, both politically and religiously. He yelled at me in phone calls. If you d...
Unfortunately this party did not bother to leave their name and the few facts here are not familiar to me at all. As a result, I'm suspicious that this review was left by someone who was not my client at all. For the record, I am registered "independent" and never discuss politics or religion with clients. Our office provides Zealous Representation for all walks of life including the LGBTQ community. If this is a real review from a former client, there are two sides to every story. I would invite the author to contact me directly to discuss this matter more thoroughly. We are the number one best reviewed family law firm in the county and that is because we have an excellent reputation for ethically working hard for our clients and treating our clients the way we would want to be treated.
