Excellent- Property Disputes-Small Business Owner
John has helped me on a few occasions. He is very prompt and will do an excellent job going through the pros and cons of your situation. I even found myself fighting disputes in an outside county and he referred me to a colleague whom also was excellent. I couldn't have asked for better outcomes...

John Graham Schultz's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"John is the most successful, experienced, litigator in the area. His results speak for themselves."
"John is a rarity: a jack of all trades and master of all. When it comes to litigation, there is nothing he has not seen or had experience with and been successful at. If ever someone has a question about what to do on a case, John is the person to turn to. His years of experience with cases and clients make him a great asset to our community. I endorse John fully for any legal needs."
"I endorse this lawyer. John is a skilled legal practitioner with several decades of experience. As an attorney for 22 years myself, I have occasionally needed to seek help from a more experienced attorney with respect to a particularly difficult issue I've encountered in my practice. Each time I've asked John, he has eagerly risen to the occasion to provide me the help and advice I needed -- and get me pointed in the right direction. On cases where John and I represent opposing parties, he is always a formidable force for his clients. If I ever needed an attorney for myself, I would want it to be John Schultz."
"Attorney John Schultz provides legal services across a broad spectrum of specific legal issues. He is at the highest level of legal and ethical skills within attorneys in Washington State and most certainly within the United States. He has represented, advised, directed, negotiated, settled and where settlement was not achieved, litigated with great skill. It has been a great privilege to have been associated with John within the community and in cases where we have been in opposition."
"I endorse this lawyer. John is a detail oriented and thorough attorney who always represents his clients in a zealous manner."
"I endorse this lawyer. John Schultz is a great lawyer with 50 years of experience. He zealously represents each of his clients inside and outside the courtroom. It is an honor to work with him."
"There are not many in the legal practice that can boast 50+ years of litigation experience; John can do that and much more. He is THE experienced litigator in the greater Tri-Cities area and there likely isn't a case out there he hasn't had experience taking to Trial. Even though I work in the same firm as John, a quick word-of-mouth search will quickly lead you to his experience and know-how for personal injury cases."
"I endorse this lawyer."
