Review after Consultation

John was very personable, nice and understanding from the beginning. He also provided me with large amounts of details and information even though I did not hire him. He also spent time with me to understand all my options including ones that would not even earn him a dime. He a good man and a hard w...orker.

Highly Recommend!

I would recommend John even without the case going in my favor. John took the time to thoroughly research my case, get to know me, and his due diligence resulted in uncovering case law that weighed heavily in my favor. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Accessable and helpful

When I saw he listed ASL as a language he knew, i reached out to him specifically. We were able to FaceTime for our consult and using sign language for me to understand. He took his time to look into my situation and walk me through what I need to have happen to move forward. By him signing and taki...ng his time I am fully confident in what I need to do. Once I reach the point where I need to hire a lawyer, I will be using Mr. Sando. I’m grateful for his patience, knowledge, and his ability to communicate with me. I also was very appreciative of him reaching out a few days later to make sure I had all my questions answered. I’d highly recommend him.

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.
