After many sit downs with other lawyers I have hired this law firm to handle my divorce witch I was a nervous wreck about and John stepped in and has calmed me down tremendously he is always available to me even after hours to answer my questions and concerns. He is invested in my case and is always working for what is right for me and my children during this hard time! I highly recommend John !!
I worked with John when I was being unfairly boxed into a court appearance that I could not possibly make in which my failure to attend would have worked tremendously against me. My opponent had manipulated the system to specifically drag me into court at a time when she knew I would be a away and that there was no way I could attend. John and his team move swiftly to arrange their schedules to appear in my case on my behalf and got me the adjournment critical to not being rule against in default. This made all the difference in my ultimate outcome months later. John is a knowledgeable lawyer and a great guy to work with. I am very satisfied with the outcome he secured for me, and I can highly recommend him.
John Fellin has had a tremendous impact on my life. He was the second attorney I turned to during my divorce, an arduous journey. His elevated expertise in matrimonial law is infused with tremendous courage, fierce determination, and a truly genuine value in his clients. His amazing work and hard efforts in bringing about a successful divorce in several months instilled faith in me. There are attorneys that care about their clients. There are attorneys that take great pride in their delivery and promise to their clients. They may not exist in great numbers. I can only tell you John Fellin is one of these credible and worthy attorneys! I highly recommend him...
I consulted with John on two separate occasions before hiring him for a family court case involving my young children. From the beginning, John was clear in the action he would take to help resolve my case. One case turned into two, and he worked with me to help keep the financial burden low. John has maneuvered the courtroom competently, putting me at ease during extremely stressful times. I felt John not only protected my character in court, but also voiced my concerns accurately and effectively. John has put together multiple proposals and has sent numerous well-written emails on my behalf. John also responds promptly to any concerns or questions. I have entrusted my children’s well-being and future in the hands of John and his firm, and would recommend him to anyone in need of a family lawyer.
John gives the advice you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. His solutions are forward-looking but in the instant moment he is a tough litigant and is quicker than his adversaries. He fights by taking the high road and if you give him the whole story he is that much better at giving you the best advice. John takes my calls after hours and even during events with his family, and when you get him he gives you direction that will make your case better. You may not always like what he has to say, but that is why he is a great attorney. He can save you from yourself, which is what it takes to win. For the male readers, I dare you to ask any other attorney whether they got the father full custody, majority visitation time, and money back from the mother - WITHOUT a trial. I only heard of one guy who did that and he did it for me. Thanks John.
My divorce was supposed to be "simple" but became overly drawn out with many "snags" by my ex-husband. John went above and beyond in every circumstance and made the miserable task of a divorce gain clarity by explaining the process and provided rapid results both in and out of the court room. He filtered through all the smoke that my Ex was attempting to create. In short, should I ever need an attorney again, I 100% trust John to represent me with absolute confidence that he has my best interests in mind.
I was referred to Mr. Fellin by a family member. I didn't think anyone could help me in my situation. However after a great consultation he assured me that the situation could and would be resolved. In just a few short weeks he was able to do what no other attorney was able to accomplish and resolve my problem. I highly recommend him and his firm. Thank you Mr. Fellin.
John has been handling my case for a number of months and I am extremely pleased with his guidance, knowledge and relatability. He has gone out of his way to be available to me, understands the case and strategy for resolving it, and makes sure to check in with me at each new development.
Bad times call for good people, Thank god My union said if you want this done right call john and thats what i did, so far John has handled everything that was thrown at me,I have called on other attorney's and i will say John did not sugar coat anything, and gets right to the work that needs to get done,What more can you ask for. Call him, you have nothing to lose, But your case. He is very good at his job.
Mr. Fellin stepped into an impossibly hostile situation and was an oasis of sanity and reason through the entire process. He is compassionate but stills maintains his professionalism. I would recommend him without reservation.
