John Michael Kucera

I hired John Kucera last year to help me with allegations my soon-to-be ex-wife made against me. The thing that made me trust him most was the advise he gave months before I'd hired him: "Don't hire me until you need me." Most lawyers would want to be hired as soon as possible; John waited, talk...ed to me when I called/emailed, never charged me beforehand, and then when the time seemed appropriate, he said, "Now is when you hire me." John checked on my situation regularly, gave me updates whenever I asked, and was very reassuring. Thankfully the case was never brought to court, quite possibly because of conversations & correspondence John had with the law enforcement.

I was referred to John Kucera for local assistance on a client’s traffic issue, which proved to be successful. Mr. Kucera was responsive, courteous, professional and well-versed in the subject matter, and his experience with the forum in question was evident. He efficiently produced the hoped-for o...utcome, confirming his evaluation of the issue in a manner that favorably resolved it. I appreciated his efforts.

I hired John Kucera to represent my daughter who was falsely accused of obstruction and assault against the Redding Police Department. Although I never met him he was recommended to me by a friend and believe me he is worth EVERY penny. He not only saved my daughter from a Criminal Record he also r...eimbursed over 50% of what I paid him. An extremely honest and trustworthy lawyer, well worth the rating that he has.

5.0 star rating 8/27/2013 In 2012 I was falsely accused by my ex partners of stealing and charged with four counts of stealing or attempting to steal property from foreclosed homes. Nothing could be further from the truth but the district attorney's office and their investigator interviewed over 60 ...witnesses and stacked them against me. I was never even interviewed! How could that happen? At the time, the case seemed pretty hopeless. Acting on a referral, I interviewed and hired John Kucera to represent me when I learned of the rumors and accusations. I knew I needed a solid attorney on my side and for my protection. Mr. Kucera was integral from the time charges were brought and, with his meticulous and thorough investigation, he mounted a defense that at times seemed hopeless due to fighting the state DA's office with countless resources. During the three-week jury trial that ensued in 2013, John was able to discredit all of the prosecutions witnesses, bring the truth to the surface and I was found NOT GUILTY and acquitted of all charges after only three hours of the jury deliberation. (with a lunch break). After the trial, even the jurors discussed that during deliberations that if they ever found themselves in a similar situation, they would hire Mr. Kucera due to his court presence and experience. That's a clue! Were it not for John's experience and expertise, I could have lost a state issued license, my livelihood and everything that I owned and worked for. I highly recommend Mr. Kucera for his knowledgeable and aggressive defense. He cared not only that justice was being served but that I had someone that believed in me. A friend in a time of need. Don"t listen to the haters. If it's important, choose John!

I was charged with six "Strict Liability" felonies, that I did not commit. The felonies all carried a mandatory State prison sentences. The Assistant District Attorney used the case to wage a personal vendetta against me because I opposed the expansion of Redding City Government in the past and t...he District Attorney allowed her actions. John very skillfully eliminated 5 of the charges very quickly. He then fought every attempt the ADA made to limit our defense. The ADA tried to control the evidence and testimony and therefore control what the Judge and Jury saw and heard. John thwarted all her attempts. John adeptly destroyed the testimony of every prosecution witness the ADA put on the stand. Even Police Officers contradicted their previous testimony. The trial ended in a hung jury. The ADA filed to have another trial. A newly appointed DA overrode the ADA's personal vendetta and settled the case. After five years, the case was over. I am very pleased with the job that John did and I am happy to recommend him unconditionally.
