Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I highly endorse John Yohanan as a highly skilled and compassionate attorney. I have worked with and against John on several cases for over a decade. John is pragmatic and insightful. He is very good in court and has a great relationship with counsel and the judges, which translates in good results for his clients. I'm proud to call him a colleague.

John works hard on behalf of his clients while remaining professional and cordial with his opposing attorney. He is honest and hardworking and will work to resolve issues rather than waste his client's time and money in unnecessary litigation.

Frederic Begun, Family Attorney on May 7, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have known John for some time now. Getting to a result in a divorce, without letting it linger is a prime goal that John strives to attain. John is a diligent advocate, but balances that against the impact on all persons in a family, while trying to get the best results for his client.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Mr. Yohannan was an opposing counsel on few of my cases during the last 10 years. He is very professional, and regardless of the outcome I have enjoyed working with him on cases. He is a fine attorney.
Karen Hubbell, Family Attorney on Jul 10, 2013
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I have been involved as opposing counsel on two cases with John. He has always been a pleasure to work with and very responsive. John advocates his client's position but also recognizes when cases should be informally resolved without the parties spending unnecessary attorney's fees litigating the matter. The cases are done quickly and cost-effective, which makes both parties happy.
Edward Kraus, Family Attorney on Jul 9, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I highly endorse John. He is an outstanding family lawyer who is very experienced and knowledgeable. He is also very responsive. I have referred clients to John over the years.
John Neustadt, Family Attorney on Jun 21, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have known John Yohanan for more than 30 years, and worked with him during the early years. John is a true professional, knows the law well, is a skilled negotiator and works well with clients who are going through a very difficult time in their lives. I would certainly recommend him to anyone needing help with a family law or business problem.
Esther Rosenfeld, Family Attorney on Jun 10, 2013
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
John is one of the finest lawyers you will ever come across. He is sharp, professional and courteous in that rare "old school" way. I first met him as opposing counsel in a very high-conflict custody case, yet he never let the fury and acrimony of the personalities involved color his advocacy. He is a very strong, very reasonable advocate. We've opposed each other since and he has consistently been a wonderful lawyer: a zealous advocate who can settle the case. I endorse him without reservation.
