Mr. Thornton and I recently worked together on four motions to dismiss a fifteen year old criminal history of mine. Rather, I wanted to become eligible for nursing school, but had a possession felony and three misdemeanors on my record from fifteen years prior. Mr. Thornton replied to my e-mail inqui...ry within a day, and was very professional in handling my case. He explained things in ways that were easy to understand, and was very patient with my many questions. He offered excellent personal guidance and helped me keep a positive attitude, as my perspective would constantly fluctuate. I found John to be very honest, thorough, and hard-working. His presence in the courtroom is strong and austere, and although a district attorney is always scary, I felt secure knowing John Thornton in my corner. By accepting and winning my case, Mr. Thornton really helped me change my life. Vocational doors have been re-opened for me- ones that have been closed for a very, very long time. I may have tarnished my past, but thanks to John Thornton, my future will shine. I felt secure knowing John Thornton was in my corner. Highly recommended. Off to nursing school I go!

Over the last 6 months I have worked with Mr. Thornton he has been a true professional. He has keeped me imformed on all issues reqarding my case and has worked hard. He has been honest and sincere. All the qualities of not only a great lawyer but a good man. As I stated to Mr. Thornton even though t...he circumstance I am glad I meet him.

John Thornton went beyond my expectations in every regard. His forthrightness and regular communication were excellent. From the first time I spoke with him he showed real interest in my case. He was personal and expressed genuine concern for my situation and his desire to help me. He returned my ...calls promptly, often within minutes. He called and emailed me regularly regarding updates to my case. My case was resolved quickly and with excellent results. Close friends of mine educated on DUI proceedings in California were amazed at the outcome of my case. Mr. Thornton was worth every penny that I paid him.

I found him to be excellent. He was recommended to me by a friend. I had never required an attorney before and was quite anxious about my situation. Our first consultation was over the phone and I found him to be very calm and very clear in his way of guiding me through the steps that I would be req...uired by the law to take. He has genuine compassion which was very much appreciated by me at that time. He was always available for any questions/concerns I had, always got back to me in a prompt manner. Everything was handled in a professional and highly efficient manner. I cant say enough good things about this man.
