Appeals Attorney | Jun 19
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I have known John for 21 years. While everyone knows he is a great construction law trial attorney, fewer know about his tremendous ability as an appellate lawyer. I have watched him argue cases in the court of appeals and I can say, without doubt, he is one of the finest appellate lawyers in the state."
