Mr. John has good knowledge and professionalism in his work, provides customer security and personalized attention at all times regardless of the schedule, when I say this, I mean communication directly with him without any secretaries or intermediary staff. Thank you very much.

John was helpful and completely took care of my situation regarding minor infractions. As a out of state resident I was unable to return to Ohio for court. John made it so I didn’t have to return to Ohio and let me handle everything over the phone and over email. He contacted me quick and answered my calls no matter the time of the call.

Called this morning for a consultation, and was rushed off the phone, told to call the lawyer who represented before, and hung up on. He showed absolutely no willingness to help. I felt judged and If he had listened he would’ve known there was no lawyer, only public defender. We are looking for a paid lawyer. But the next lawyer I consulted with was very professional so obviously it was meant for him to represent us.

I called John late in the evening not really knowing how to proceed with my legal issues. He was very friendly and direct about what I was up against and what steps were needed to proceed successfully. I knew at that point I wanted to retain his services. He was clear about his fees upfront which he worked with me by setting up a payment plan. He's very knowledgeable of the law and explaining anything that wasn't clear to me. He made me very confident with the best way to approach my case at hand for a great outcome. He made sure that I didnt have any questions or reservations about my options
