This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Showed NO interest in protecting my rights

John was assigned to me as my public defender. My case was a very simple cut-and-dry case that should have definitely gone in a different direction. What should have been if anything a slap on the wrist turned out to be a felony on my record and 5 years probation along with house arrest over somethin...g that went against our own rights as US citizens. John was very unwilling to fight for my case and showed no interest in helping me get through this hard time for me. now I have to deal with this for the rest of my life.
