Good attorney

This guy has some really good insight, will carefully listen to your situation, and collaborate with you treating you with respect. This guy will fight for you like no other attorney. He doesn't pretend to care. He does.

Awesome Lawyer

John has been there for me through thick and thin, when i was being sued by yelp he stepped in and helped me win a large settlement, when i was being accused of child abuse, john stepped in and defended me and got it dismissed, every time a cop or investigator calls my phone and harasses me , john ta...kes care of it by calling them personally to defend my character. John Larson is by far one of the most caring, honest , hardworking charitable lawyers i've met and he does great work. Im happy to have him as an ally in my corner when the corrupt government tries to reach its grubby hands into my pocket.

only cares about getting paid

I hired Mr. Larson for three simple restraining orders. Not only did he let my court dates fall through the cracks, he drafted a settlement that ultimately would have helped the other side. He spoke to me once in person for a grand total of twenty minutes and otherwise avoided all but a few of my pho...ne calls, preferring to send vague texts that did not answer any of my questions. He only cares about making sure his fees are paid, not that he is doing right by his clients.

John's Client

John was excellent helping me where I was in a money contract that was a fraudulent matter. I hired John for legal services and advice. He helped me get back a good amount of my money in a very short time with a powerful and professional manner. He is a fighter for his client. His knowledge of the la...w and facts are excellent. I would use his legal services again and highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
