Review John Green

Truly cares about his clients

Posted by

Jack represented me on a DUI. He came highly recommended and I had previous knowledge of his ability. That said, after our initial consultation I fully trusted him in what was the scariest situation in my life. He was able to give me advice on the different options for the DUI, including what he recommended, while making it clear that the decision was ultimately up to me. This was very important to be able to be fully informed, yet still have some control. He also gave me advice on how to deal with the department of licensing and explained to me how to accomplish the temporary Ignition Interlock License application process. Lastly, and arguably most importantly, he gave me advice on how to deal with my employer, family, and friends, in relation to this incident, and gave me advice on how to move forward and make sure this never happens again. I should also mention that he prevailed on each motion he prepared and argued for me on this case. I will recommend him for as long as he is still practicing law. Thank you.

Best choice of my life!

Posted by

On two separate occasions Jack Green represented me. Both times he was able to achieve results beyond imagining. The first time the, bogus, charges were completely dismissed even though the odds were not in my favor at all. The second time, in a very high profile case, where I was facing life in prison, Jack got the charges reduced down to literally a couple months work release. Impossibly good results on both accounts and if there is any attorney I would recommend for criminal cases it would be Jack Green. The one thing all the money in the world cannot buy is a person who truly cares about your well-being. From day one I could tell I had found that in Jack and until the closing moments I felt represented well beyond the standard. There is no doubt in my mind that I made the right choice picking this attorney and I consider it my duty to let others know that Jack Green is the best choice in Vancouver for quality counsel and advocacy.

Honest, Confident, professional, passionate, and above all gets results.

I got a DUI in September 2019. It was a very stressful situation. Prior to hiring Mr. Green, I was recommended to go consult with a different law office. I hired them and explained to them that I had a DUI 13 years ago, and this would be the 2nd time. They reassured me that it was far back that it won’t count against me. We went to our 1st court appearance, and come to find out, the prosecutor counted this as a second offense, and my attorney was clueless about the change in the law. I was offered jail time, work crew, DUI charge, and fines. I was terrified. Weeks passed and the attorney kept saying that he was building rapport with the prosecutor. He started negotiating my deal prior to receiving discovery evidence. He then told me that the prosecutor is offering me pretty much the same deal that was offered at the 1st hearing and that he thinks it’s a good deal. He also suggested that I wait until the last court date and that sometimes they have better offers waiting . In other words the prosecutor did not want to make deals, especially on second offense. I did not want to leave anything to chance.I let my attorney know that I was done and wanted to change counsel. He gave me a partial refund and recommended another law office, and then asked me if I had already found counsel. I mentioned that I was thinking about hiring Mr. Green, and he advised that I go see a different firm that only did DUI’s. Trust me, speciality does not mean good service, it’s like wholesale, they get you in and out with mediocre results. I lived it. Enough about that. The best thing I did is hire Mr. Jack Green. From the moment we started talking, I felt the confidence he had. He interviewed me thoroughly, he laid out a step by step game plan. he requested every peace of evidence that could made available, to include the cam footage from the officer, and to interview the officer who pulled me over. He was also very upfront about the difficulty of my case being a second offense, and that the prosecutor was not interested in making deals on second offenses period. That did not discourage him. He asked to be positive and let him do what he is best at. He kept digging until he found a violation in the cam footage from the officer. It looked like the officer had his hand slightly inside my vehicle cabin wish turned out to be a violation. He got the prosecutor to reduce the DUI to a wreck less driving, no jail time, and 2 days community service. It was a sigh of relief. I am 100% certain that if I had not made the change of counsel, the charge would off ruined my life and cost me my job. I am very grateful. I also really appreciate his office staff, who been with him for many years and are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. If you are ever in trouble from a DUI, or any lawful matter, And you want results call Jack Green, he will leave no stone unturned to get you results.

Jack Green, Criminal Defense

Posted by

Jack Green handled a DUI Case for our family. From the moment we contacted him, he was there for us. He guided us through a 10 month judicial process step by step. Jack was able to resolve the case with the prosecutor and the judge in a way that was fair to all parties and did not require a trial. We were unacquainted with the judicial process, so we depended on Jack for explanations and reassurance. He was always honest with us and kept us informed. We would highly recommend Jack Green!

This was the first and hopefully only time I've needed a lawyer. Mr. Green came highly recommended and rightly so. He was a great listener, made no judgement calls and helped ease my fears and concerns. He was very fair in the time he billed and always returned calls and answered questions promptly. I was so frightened when this whole experience began but after my initial meeting with him, I had hope and confidence. Even though I needed very little of his services, he was kind, honest, professional and reassuring.THANK YOU!

Great Attorney!

Posted by

Jack has helped me on several occasions as well as friends I have referred to him, over the last 10 years. He has always given exceptional service and has always had very reasonable fees. I will always refer Jack out to others. He is trust worthy, friendly and extremely smart. I have also contacted him in the past for referrals to other attorneys for areas outside of his normal practice and have never been disappointed by those he refers me to, either. I would highly recommend Jack to anyone needing representation for criminal defense etc. He has been a great help to me over the years and I never once doubted his level of experience or professionalism.
