Terrible communication

Have been dealing with a case for over two and half years and I have gone months without any update or a call. On many occasions, I've had to email and call multiple times to even get a simple reply to a question. Not satisfied and wouldn't recommend.

Good experience

Working with him was easy, I was kept informed and was pleased with the outcome.

Relationship: Friend

"John is a great lawyer who works hard for his clients. He has a sarcastic sense of humor and can relate to all types of people. When I had a small civil matter, I retained John as my own attorney. I can't say enough nice things about John."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I first got to know John as an opposing attorney years ago. At the time, he was a big pain to deal with, he was so aggressive! Now, years later, I know that he was just doing what he does best--fight tooth and nail for his client. John is a great attorney who really works hard to get his clients what they deserve."
