Best money I've ever spent

John was recommended to me by a friend for my third DUI case. Right away he was friendly and helpful.... even before i had paid him. He made me feel human and seemed to genuinely care about my welfare. I was able to keep my license far longer than i anticipated, i received a very lenient punishment g...iven my crime, and literally left the courthouse skipping. Thanks John!!

Bicycling Under the Influence

Right off the bat, John was very informative and just seemed to care about the situation I was in. John willingly gave me legal advice before even trying to gather payment. John seemed to be very knowledgable with the local court and judges. He helped me gather the things I needed to have a strong a...ppeal for my Biking under the influence case. In the end my case was dropped and I feel that justice was served. I feel that John made this possible.

John Thornton is Efficient and Helpful

John Thornton was extremely instrumental in settling my DUI case. He was always prompt in responding to any of my questions via email or phone. Hiring him gave me a sense of security that I was being represented by the best, especially his knowledge of the judges and other lawyers in the area. Going ...into my criminal court case we had a desired outcome, and he achieved the results I wanted. I was injured severely in a car accident associated with my case, and thanks to John Thornton I was able to continue getting the medical care I needed and avoid jail. I highly recommend John Thornton to anyone looking for professional, efficient, and thorough representation.

Great lawyer! Won my DUI case for me!

John was the most thorough, supportive and respectful lawyer I have had the pleasure to hire. He gave me great advice and kept me informed about my choices the whole way through the process. He knows how to work the system to get you what you want and need. This guy is way on top of his game and sinc...erely wants to help you! I got pulled over for a DUI (I blew 0.08, which is just over the limit) and was facing a suspended license, thousands of dollars of fees, a point on my record, increased car insurance, DUI classes, not being able to get into Canada if I wanted and all the stresses that go with a DUI case. John won my DMV case right off the bat and I got my license back within a few months. 6 months later, we went to court and he WON my case for me! I could not have won this case without him. Anybody who doesn't think they need a lawyer for a DUI case should seriously rethink their decision. John made the process as easy as possible for me and really worked hard to go the extra mile. Easy to talk to and a truly sincere demeanor. I felt like the money I spent on John was a way better investment than forking over thousands of dollars to the court, just so they can make me feel like a bad person and restrict my enjoyment of life. John helped me put this bad experience behind me and I was able to deal with the consequences in the fairest and least painful way possible. Now I can get back to what's important to me and not have a DUI conviction holding me back for the rest of my life! Forever grateful to this man.

Honest, Knowledgeable, Conscientious, Detail-Oriented

John was extremely diligent while handling my misdemeanor case. He communicated each step of the process and was forthright and honest about the potential outcome. Having never been involved in any criminal defense matters, this was a terribly frightening ordeal. John never gave me false hope or un...realistic expectations, which I appreciated. His thorough and meticulous attention to detail resulted with a very positive outcome. I highly recommend John Thornton, should you ever need a criminal defense attorney.
