Great experience!

I discovered John through a friend's recommendation, and I couldn't be more pleased with his services. John, an incredibly seasoned attorney, offers unwavering support and guidance, addressing all my concerns with expertise. His assistant, Kate, is equally impressive. She meticulously prepares detail...ed documentation, ensuring I'm well-informed about critical aspects. They are both exceptionally responsive, promptly addressing any questions or concerns, and their fees are very reasonable. Despite my language barrier, Kate skillfully bridged the gap, ensuring seamless communication between me and John. If you're searching for a divorce and family attorney, I wholeheartedly endorse them.

Outstanding attorney, with great results

Knowledgeable, Carrying, Involved, Supportive and most of all he is there protect his clients' assets and wellbeing. Working with John for a long time in a very complicated divorce case. I could not have wished for a better attorney. John is a carrying professional involving himself deeply in the ca...se. Always supportive and he always responded to my questions promptly with options and solutions. John’s knowledge of family law has helped my case greatly, as they were multiple roadblocks, we needed to face and overcome throughout the years on my case. Great attention to detail and devoted to his client results. He is an outstanding attorney, with great results.

Effective, Honest and Compassionate

I just wrapped up my divorce case with Thomas Chase Stutzman APC and the entire experience was phenomenal!!! I had such an overall positive experience, I felt the need to share it with everyone. I had a 2 half day trial coming up in 10 days. I called their office and spoke to Mr. Stutzman himself.... He had John Perrott, his associate taking on my case. from that day on and the next 10 days leading up to my trial, John worked tirelessly and aggressively for me. i had a really bad experience with my former lawyer and thought all lawyers are all lying snakes. But I guess I just picked the wrong one. Working with John made me realize the monumental benefits of having a great lawyer can have on the outcome of your case. John was quick to draft writings to effectively argue my case. He was very detail orientated and thorough. I was very unsure about going to trial before I went to see Thomas Chase Stutzman APC, but after I met with Tom and John for the initial consultation, I felt very confident about the direction of my case. I came back the next day and signed with them. Everything was executed swiftly and accurately. Liz, their paralegal had my old files from my former lawyer all organized and ready to go in an orderly fashion right away, it was just AMAZING! Watching John argue and negotiate with the opposing counsel was so exciting! He took the time to know me and my case and understood what I wanted. I felt that he genuinely cared and wanted to help me, not just so they can make money. I was also impressed with the way John dealt with the attitude from the opposing counsel. He never lost his cool while the other guy was lying and being so rude, he spoke directly with confidence and knowledgeable of the law. In the end, truth prevailed. There are a lot of lawyers out there, but finding a honest and great one is really a dime in a dozen. I'm so happy and fortunate to have found and worked with Thomas Chase Stutzman APC and John. I just recently talked to one of my friends who is going through a divorce and from what she was telling me, it sounded a lot like my former lawyer and many other lawyers. Those lying snakes would promise you everything, then get you nothing. You will not only waste your money, your time, your patience, but your believe and trust in people if you had a bad lawyer. Going through a legal battle is hard enough, getting someone to work on your side and whom you can trust is paramount. So I just referred my friend to speak to John Perrott. I have total confidence that what John delivered for me, he will for everyone else.
