Fantastic Attorney

No one wants to need a criminal defense attorney, but if you do - John is your guy. He is amazing at it. He is kind, knowledgeable and got me a good deal. He walked me through everything, answered all of my questions, and just went above and beyond. I would 100% recommend John to anyone needing a...n experienced defense attorney - he will work his tail off for you.

Someone you can trust with your livelihood, and feel good about it.

I was looking at multiple cases in two separate counties. John took on the task of having to commute and to deal with two different county court systems to represent me. I was being held in a different county and had been held almost two weeks with no word from anyone at the jail as to why they were... continuing to hold me and when they were planning to transport me. It took John one day to get the county sheriff’s to finally give me an explanation as to what was going on and I was transported the very next day of transport. John was able to get my most serious cases dropped without even a court appearance. He took into account my claim of innocence but he was also realistic about my situation and circumstances. He provided me all of the information possible to ensure I could make the best decisions on how to proceed with my particular cases. I couldn’t be more pleased with the work he did for me and I now consider him not just my attorney, but a friend. He’s down to earth, humble and real, and I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in the very scary position of needing a criminal defense lawyer.
