Posted by Marcus | December 3, 2021 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Terrible experience! Hard to get ahold of, condescending, took my money, botched my case and I got stuck with my own bills.

It took John 3 years to settle my case and I ended up getting less than 1/3 of what I deserved. He should have made up for it out of the thousands I paid him. He lived out of his office which was the first red flag. It was disgusting. At first he was nice and helpful but once the contract was signed ...he was aloof and condescending when even I had questions. In the end I had to pay many of my own medical bills that went to collections. He couldn’t even get the insurance company of the driver who rear ended me to cover them. I implore you to go talk to anyone else.

I had not a lot of money but John helped me out in a big

I heard about John through another lawyer friend and contacted his office. I was surprised to be talking to him personally very quickly. I told him the details and He explained what he could do for me for Free. No risk on my part. I felt i could trust John so we decided to work together. He did what... he said he could and more than i initially expected because of Kannin’s attention to details and shear breadth of knowledge and experience. Recommended highly.

I would hire John again any day.

I hired John Kannin to initiate a civil lawsuit for me. He did a very thorough and thoughtful job, and he got immediate results. I was very impressed with his ability and intelligence, and I am glad I chose to hire him instead of someone else. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an attor...ney with his area of practice.

Smart, Effective, Respectful Counsel

John Kannin is a very knowledgeable attorney who has over 16 years of experience. His professionalism is unprecedented and he is an all around guy. He is effective in the courtroom. His practice includes, DUI, Personal Injury, Criminal Defense, and Civil Rights. He is no nonsense and is able and ...willing to take on what would seem very daunting to others.

Child Abuse

I was charged with five (5) felony counts of molestation and rape of a child. My court appointed attorneys assured me my case was not winnable. John gave me a very aggressive and thorough defense against a very slanted prosecution. I was found not guilty on all counts by a jury.John Kannin and Kannin... Law saved my life
