This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

John was Outstanding!

We met with John and he was absolutely professional, thorough and a wealth of knowledge, he was also a heck of a nice person, easy to talk to and not rushed. We left his office feeling good about our next legal moves and felt confidant about using his advise. I would highly recommend John McBride ...should you need legal services.

The best

John helped me during part of my ridiculous custody case. He always made me feel comfortable and never gave me false hope. He is extremely easy to talk to, and very honest. He always responded quickly when I had ridiculous questions or new information, and never grew frustrated of who was probably a ...more challenging client He fought hard for my family, and eventually got my daughter back where she belonged.

Couldn't ask for a better guy

I was going through a tough divorce and my ex hired a lawyer who was pretty much ruthless. I hired John because I knew right off the bat he was highly intelligent and a gentleman . My Dad and I interviewed a lot of lawyers and he's the only one my Dad really liked. I couldn't ask for a better outcom...e he pretty much out witted my Ex's lawyer at every turn. You will not find a smarter or nicer guy out there I looked trust me.

Mr. McBride is a great lawyer!

I am quite comfortable in Mr. McBride's hands. He's very knowledgable not only on matters concerning the Ventura courthouse convenient to his office, but also in matters of finance and economics. I look forward to using Mr. McBride's help in future opportunities my life will present when we've fini...shed the matters at-hand. Just as important as one's expertise and knowledge is his ability to communicate in a way that's appropriate to the audience. John's demeanor countenances your faith in his ability to maneuver you through sticky situations, with a view on the road 500 feet ahead, a mile ahead, and your intended destination. He does this gently, without hard-sell. I'm quite comfortable recommending Mr. McBride for his professionalism, life exerience, and well-rounded view on law.

Words can not describe....

John was refered to me by a family member to help me in my ongoing divorce/child custody case. I was very reluctant about hiring an attorney, due to previous bad experiences. At that point, I had been representing my self for quite some time. Almost immediatley after hiring John, my situation change...d for the better; thanks to his outstanding legal services and professional knowledge. He worked with me closely for over a year on every aspect of my case, ensuring the best possible outcome for me and my children. He was always available to answer all my questions, and constantly kept me informed on every detail throughout the entire length of my case. John is a truly outstanding attorney, that sincerely cares about his clients, and I would recomend his services to anyone!! Words can not desribe the positive impact Johns services have had in my situation!! Thanks John

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.
