Free Consultation

I had a free consultation with John regarding an auto accident I had been in a few months ago. He put me at ease in the very beginning of our meeting, and expressed general care and concern for myself and my family. He was very honest with me regarding my options with my particular case. He was ve...ry knowledgeable and put things in terms that anyone could easily understand. I highly recommend John to anyone in need of an amazing attorney!

Wonderful Person!

I was injured at work a few years back, and was not getting anywhere with my employer. I was afraid that I was going to lose my job, so I contacted John. What a blessing that was! He was very compassionate about my situation, and was a wealth of knowledge. He put me at ease, and made me realize I... was not alone in the struggle. He was always available to take my phone calls, and never sounded annoyed or irritated as every other attorney I had spoken with did. I will definitely use John again if the need arises, and have told all my friends and family how great he was with me. Thanks John!

The One and ONLY Good Guy!

Mr. Bell helped us through a very difficult time. We were one of the thousands that got hoodwinked in the 2007 mortgage scandal and our mortgage company, Bank of American, refused to work with us. So we were forced into bankruptcy. The collaspe of the banking literally costs us our life savings of ...over $150,000 and now it was costing us our home and our credit. John always took our calls, when we called with questions. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable on all aspects of the law, and truly cares about his clients, at least in our case, he made us feel like we mattered and what we were and are still going through was just as important to him. Even after our case was over and more than a few years had passed, something came up and we called Mr. John Bell as it pertained to our original case. He remembered us and our case and happily advised us regarding this matter. We wished Mr. Bell still lived in our area because, as we just had to go and seek counsel from a local attorney regarding our original case. We will not be going back to that office. Our experience with the recent person only reinforces our opinion and belief in Mr. John Philip Bell, Attorney at Law....the ONE and ONLY good guy!

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.
