Very knowledgeable

John's knowledge of real estate law ensured our transaction carried on smoothly despite several instances that could have derailed the whole thing. He has a very caring personality and ensured us his u divided attention throughout

Estate Planning

John was extremely thorough during the entire estate planning process and constantly kept me informed. He is very pleasant to work with and always has a smile on his face. Would highly recommend. I was skeptical at first when I saw he was younger but his knowledge surpassed other much older attorneys... I have dealt with before.

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.
