This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Knowledgeable, and responsive when needed is key when hiring an attorney. John is all of the above!

John was instrumental in his negotiations and persistence in helping me navigate a suit for a large debt. He was able to step in when another law firm kept falling short. He was responsive, and helped me achieve a positive outcome. Very appreciative of what he was able to do, and will be using him to... help me in the future!

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Honest, Compassionate, and Exceptionally Helpful

I consulted with Attorney John Tatoian regarding a complex legal matter involving multiple parties and serious financial implications. John generously gave his time and offered clear, practical guidance — without charge. He was sincere, thoughtful, and completely transparent about the challenges ahea...d. His realistic advice helped me make an informed decision, and I never once felt rushed or dismissed. Although I ultimately chose not to move forward with representation due to the nature of my case, John would have absolutely been my first choice. He is the kind of attorney who truly listens and cares, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing trusted legal support.

Absolutely amazing

John was absolutely amazing from consultation to the culmination of our service agreement. He was always available at a moments notice, even outside of normal business hours. He worked quickly and very professionally to solve our legal issue. I would absolutely use him for any legal needs in the futu...re, as well as recommend him to anyone who needed legal services. He is very easy to talk to, very kind and a true professional. I would give him 10 stars if possible.

Outstanding representation!

John Tatoian, my gratitude towards you is in abundance! I had default judgment against me from a collection agency who was for sure out to get me. John was my knight in shinning armor, with his professionalism and exceptional legal representation. This persisting collecting agency thought they were g...oing to get away with the default judgment against me. I was improperly served and they had no proof of the debt belonging to me and I, alone, still could not get rid of them. I contacted John Tatoian and he stopped them in their tracks, which resulted in a motion granted in my favor. Thank you John for everything!
