John Oswald, amazing Personal Injury Attorney!

I was in a car accident a few years back, upon meeting with lawyers I knew that John and team were the right fit! They handled my case effectively and had great communication throughout the whole process. Very professional. Thank you Mr. Oswald for all your hard work.

Outstanding!

John was on top of all aspects of my WC claim from the beginning. Having someone deal with all the filings and deadlines is a godsend. The resultant judgement was better than I expected. Johns experience and professionalism is refreshing in our states current condition!

Brilliant Attorney, Champion Advocate for your Rights!

I was seriously injured and fired from my work place. The moment I entered John Oswald’s office, his intellect, kindness, and knowledge of the law surrounded me and I knew I was safe. I still marvel at my good fortune to be his client. John is an exceptional negotiator in restitution of losses. He po...ssesses an incredible skill set which took my physical trauma and turned it into a glorious victory. In working with John Oswald, your voice will be heard, the impact of injury on your life will be revealed, and recompense will begin. I will always highly recommend John to everyone.

Excellent Lawyer

If you are looking for the best work comp lawyer out there, John is the professional you should hire. He is exactly what you want in a lawyer. He listens, responds promptly, is honest, is knowledgeable and will standup so that your voice gets heard. I most strongly recommend him and feel fortunate to... have been represented by him. Give him and his team a chance, I’m grateful I did.

A great experience

Mr. Oswald was recommended to me by one of my friends. I'm very happy that I've had him representing me in my case. He worked very hard, because we had a long journey ahead of us. It was a never ending road, but pursuing our goal, John had succeeded and got on the top of the mountain to my surpr...ise, because sometimes my case looked like a lost cause. After almost three years, we've finally achieved our main goal. Thank you Sir for everything!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
