Life-saver Lawyer!

I got pulled over for speeding and all of a sudden the police were asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions. Then they told me that I had a warrant for theft, and went in the car and took my weapon. The cops too me to jail and wrote me up on 2 traffic tickets and 2 felonies. John got in touch ...though because I still had my cell phone and I was able to get out in 1 hour. Then he followed up in court and had everything dismissed..as for speeding, he got it reduced to "Inattentive Driving". I couldnt be more lucky or have a better attorney. !

Honest ethical and cares about your welfare

I have a lot of experience with attorneys and as most of us know, all to many just go through the motions , take your money and tell you what you got is good, Most don't care about your outcome, John has passion for his clients, you don't hear promises that can't be kept just to get your business, ... does what is best for you and not his pocket book. One of the most ethical, caring and honest attorneys I know.

John Lainhart

John is an exceptional lawyer. My wife and I hire him in a personal injury case. He did the preliminary work on the case. The law firm that he was working at reassigned the case to a different lawyer and then set of lawyers who were not diligent. After the judgement, John was kind enough to review th...e decision. He was very professional in his comments and provide some very helpful advice non gratis. It was unfortunate that we did not have him as our lawyer through the whole process. I believe that the decision would have turned out differently.

Thank you John

John has been my "Go to guy" on several matters over the past 7 years. He has always been there to answer any questions I had, and has always done it with a smile. John clearly cares about people and has always been willing to stand up for what is right. Unlike attorneys I've dealt with in the past, ...John has shown that he became an attorney for what I feel are the right reasons, To help people. Outside of his work, John is an active member of an organization dedicated to helping women and children. Although I hope I dont, I know that if I ever need John, he will always be there to help. Thank you John for everything you've done for me.

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.
