Professional and Persaonable

John has represented us several times in the last few years with the utmost professionalism. He has made himself readily available, which is a very reassuring while going through legal issues. He has been a calming influence and voice of reason while we were facing adverse situations. His legal exper...tise and extensive personal relationships within the legal community has been a valuable asset and helped us to gain favorable outcomes in our unforeseen litigation. Being a business owner you are vulnerable to "exposure" in this environment we live in today and it is calming to know I have a great attorney on my side at all times.

Thank you, John.

John Thyne assisted me in a complex civil case. His knowledge of the law and procedure is superb. His recommendations were spot on, and I am glad I took his advice. I enjoyed working with John and his team of highly experienced professionals, and will continue to recommend his services. Thank you, Jo...hn for all you've done for me.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"John Thyne is both an excellent lawyer and a pillar of our community. He brings to the table a broad range of legal and non-legal experience making him the kind of guy who most definitely "thinks outside the box". As a fellow adjunct faculty member at the Santa Barbara College of Law, I saw first-hand that John is both a dedicated and talented lawyer and scholar. I endorse his work."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2010.

Private reproval, public disclosure issued in CA, 2010

updated on 12/11/2014

Private reproval, public disclosure means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar warns the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

John’s comment:

“This was filed while I was running for office and we believe it was another candidate who filed it. The charge was a technical violation of a probation from a 2007 DUI.”
