John will help you to win your settlements

John and his legal team were able to help me to deal with a case of ineffective of counsel. We won of course. My impression about John was he would fight back immediately to all the nonsense emails and motions that my previous attorney filed. John is a great attorney.

Professional and precise

I had an issue with a past settlement. John listened attentively, and he also made a call on my behalf. Which led to me being treated better by an individual. Honestly a godsend. I will hire him in the future if needed.

John Rothchild

I have used John a few times and refered him to others. I had a rare disease that complicated my insurance and needed an attorney to sort things out so I could heal. I am so grateful for him handling my affairs so I could keep my job and take care of my family. He also got me a fair settlement. M...y husband has used him along with my husbands aunt and my sons aunt. He is a wonderful attorney.

Excellent Attorney

John Rothschild was recommended to me by another attorney after I was involved in an automobile accident. He did such a great job that I hired him a second time years later when I was involved in another accident. He is very professional but personable. He always returned my calls or emails within... a short period of time (usually same day), answered all my questions and did an excellent job of working with other attorneys, medical insurance companies, auto insurance companies and everyone else involved in the case. I have recommended John to other friends and family and would do so again without hesitation.

Professional and effective

Mr Rothschild resolved our case quickly. He paid attention to a lot of detail and we would most definitely recommend him to a friend.

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.
