"It is often said that what makes a good professional is not what graduate school they went to but what kind of childhood they experienced. What kind of experience you have with an attorney is often influenced more by what kind of person they are than what law school they went to. John is a very good lawyer but he's an even better human being. John's firm handles many kinds of cases and the other attorneys in his firm and his staff reflect John's high legal and ethical standards. John has an excellent base in collaborative law and he is continually expanding his skills and training. John always brings excellent legal skills and a broad range of real world experience to the table. If all lawyers conducted their professional and personal lives like John, there would be no more lawyer jokes. I highly recommend John and his firm"
