Posted by Michelle | August 18, 2014 | Child Custody

A lawyer worth considering

I have met John this summer after an exhausting search for an attorney I can trust. I have walked about of many attorneys offices when seeking advice on how to handle my child custody case. I felt so frustrated and overwhelmed in how complicated many attorneys wanted to make my case. Sure I have a ve...ry aggressive ex spouse who likes to try to make things complicated but John reviewed all my files saw where I stand and tried to simplify the case to meet my goals. He didn't say it was going to be easy he just cut through the bull and stuck to the legal challenges and laws that worked in my favor to help my case. I found out that I was losing my case on my own because I was asking for the changes I desire the wrong way or not properly presenting my case before the court. Thus we have a plan now to move forward.

John Ely Stobart's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse John

Scott McMillan

Employment and labor lawyer | Sep 20

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer's work. John was my law clerk. He autonomously prepared cases for trial, even before he was a lawyer. He is an excellent writer, a genuine legal scholar, and a polished speaker. He actually conducted depositions prior to being a licensed attorney. John Stobart demonstrated diligence, competence, and most importantly -- was always reliable. John Stobart is someone that will deliver a good result."

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.
