My Highest Recommendation

John was with me every step of the way. I was rear ended and was being poorly treated by my own insurance company. John helped me get my car professionally inspected, and he handled the whole settlement from start to finish. I honestly cannot say enough good things about John and his staff. I wou...ld recommend him to friends and family. He is responsive, clear, straightforward, and caring.

Hand Down Best Attorney

John is hands down a top notch attorney. After I was rear-ended by a large truck and pushed into another vehicle which was also totaled, I underwent immediate back surgery and several months of therapy, treatments and pain management. With two toddlers at home, a husband in law enforcement and myse...lf with a full time medial career our lives were quickly changed in an instant. With a long road to recovery I had no time or energy for legal matters. I had met with a few attorneys that wanted my case but when I met John, I was confident that I had made the right choice. John genuinely cared about me as a person. He had a very positive way about him. John’s Law Firm was excellent at communicating with me and answering all of my questions thoroughly. I was in the loop on every e-mail, letter, conversation, etc. that had to do with my case. In addition, John's experience became evident during trial preparation when he took great measures (month in advance) to protect me from what he knew the defense's tactics would be. John was able to win me a settlement that we are very pleased with allowing us to move on with our lives. If you want a highly experienced trial lawyer that puts you at the top of his priority list, John is the right choice.

John Alexander is an excellent Attorney!

I was involved in an accident in 2010, I was rear-ended. After months of treatment from Doctors it was evident that I would need an Attorney to take care of my legal case against the insurance company. A little over two years later, I was involved in a 2nd accident, rear-ended from someone else not... paying attention. John took care of all my legal concerns, constantly updating me either over the phone or by e-mail. He even answered my questions on the weekend when he could. John's professionalism and courtesy was top of the line. I appreciate that he worked with a mediator so we didn't have to go to court. He helped me get a settlement that I felt was very good for me. I highly recommend The John Alexander Law Firm. If I ever get into another accident, I will undoubtedly go to John Alexander to help me with my case.

An excellent lawyer

I was injured in an auto accident and John was my lawyer. I was never in doubt on any issue about the lawsuit. John kept me up to date on all issues pertaining to the case. John sent me copies of all the e-mail correspondence between him and everyone else involved in the lawsuit. He was very res...ponsive to all my questions I asked of him. He was very personable and knowledgeable about all the issues surrounding the case. John got me a settlement that I was happy with and I didn't have to appear in court. I highly recommend John to anybody that may need a lawyer.

Excellent Attorney

After an auto accident, two of the doctors primarily involved in my treatment, recommended I hire an attorney and both independently referred me to John Alexander. I was hesitant, but because I respected and trusted both of them, I eventually took their advice and found it to be one of the best deci...sions I have ever made. John works tirelessly for his clients, always keeps them informed regarding all aspects of their case, puts their best interest in the forefront, gives advice and options, explains things very clearly and in detail, displays honesty and integrity and on top of those wonderful qualities, he is compassionate and caring. John has all the experience and expertise that a client would desire from a legal professional and he brings all that and then some to every case he represents. Having John as my attorney gave me a great deal of confidence and peace. It can be very worrisome to try and navigate through legal channels and feel that in the end you received the justice you were due. I believe that because John is such a good attorney, I was spared any further trauma and yes, in the end, I received justice. I was very satified with the results and owe it to John and his diligence. In the event that I have any further need of an attorney in the future, I would not hesitate to hire John once again and I recommend him to anyone who is in need of representation in his areas of expertise.

"I highly endorse attorney John Alexander. I have had the opportunity to work with John, both in and out of trial. And in all of my years of practice, I have rarely had the pleasure to know an attorney like John that always puts 110% into representing his clients. He has true passion for representing people who were injured by the negligence of another person or corporation. John is very experienced and has excellent trial skills. He is very comfortable in a courtroom and trial, knows the rules of evidence inside and out and most importantly, easily connects with the members of the jury."
