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.

Exactly who I would refer ANYONE to!

I had a quick lease review that needed to be turned around FAST! John met me asap, reviewed the agreement over the weekend and had it back to me on Monday! Great guy, made the entire process easy and was patient and knowledgeable dealing with all my questions. I would not hesitate to contact him with... any of my business legal issues and would be completely comfortable suggesting him to friends, family and other businesses. John is the kind of guy you want on your team and you'll keep his card in your wallet for years!

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.
