United Airlines Dispute

I recently used Johns services in a dispute I had with United Airlines. John was very knowlegable and easy to work with. He worked tirelessly to drive home my issues and resolve them The end result was better than I had expected. John was very professional and kept me informed with any changes wi...th my case. I would highly recommend his services!

Avvo Rating

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.
