Review John Sullivan

My Trusted Estate Planner and Elder Law Attorney for 11 Years

Posted by BobTue Mar 30 2010

Please be informed that I am a 80+ years old disabled WWII U.S. Army Veteran with 20\ years in Command & Staff positions and 43+ years in Management and Consulting Staff and a Licensed Professional Consultant to many Businesses throughout the United States. I have known John J. Sullivan more than 11 years and consider him to be the most Outstanding and Trustworthy Attorney that I have hired and recommended to other people! He has advised me on estate planning matters, including Elder Law Matters during the last illness of my first wife.
