Skill and integrity...wrapped in awesome

We were so lucky to come across John. We had purchased an RV and after 60+ days the dealership still had not produced the title. We had paid in full and after dozens of phone calls to the dealership were unable to get resolution or a refund. John agreed to take our case. He resolved the issue in a si...ngle phone call. We picked up a refund check at the dealership a couple days later. John was responsive, thouhhtful, honest and upfront. An issue we thought would drag on for months and cost us thousands was skillfully defused in a day. I can not recommended John more highly. Thank you, John!

Avvo Rating

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.
