If you are looking for a lawyer who is extremely kind, cares about his clients, and will bend over backwards to make sure your case is taken care of.. John is absolutely the lawyer you'll want. The minute John started working my case I felt relieved. He let me know everything that was going to happen before hand, with no surprises. At no point in time did I ever have to question if I hired the right lawyer. John is extremely experienced and I absolutely will recommend him to anybody who needs help with their case.
We had the pleasure of working with John in a difficult civil matter. John came highly recommended from a friend and lived up to ever bit of that recommendation. John was extremely nice and very easy to work with. He was professional and courteous and quick to explain the entire process as this was the first time dealing with our issue at hand.
John has been a joy to work with despite the difficult position our family was in. My wife and I have spent our adult lives working in non-profit organizations serving, protecting and nurturing poor and at-risk children. When it was our children who were now facing false allegations it was John who stepped up to protect them. John has both high emotional and intellectual IQ. He always listened to us and our children first and took the time to explain all the legal jargon in a way that we could make sense of it. Even though we became very emotional at times John remained calm and helped us to regulate our emotions. John possesses a keen knowledge about the law and used many different tools to help us achieve our goals to come to the best possible outcome for our children. John kept us informed on a regular basis and always responded to my calls and emails within the same day. John is an excellent Lawyer and human being who was a real God send in one of our families most difficult times. John was able to mediate great adversity on our behalf and we are so grateful for him. We highly recommend John to anyone needing legal help.
John is one of those rare attorney's you encounter where there is a combination of true people skills, exceptional professionalism and attention to all the particulars on his cases. John is methodical in his analysis and demonstrates exacting precision on his legal conclusions. He exhibits an erudite understanding of law and if there is a person who is willing to go the extra mile in listening to a client on their concerns, it is John. There is one characteristic among his many positive attributes that brilliantly shines out with John is his ability to return phone calls and emails to clients and providing updates as the case progresses. You would think that many attorneys will perform this simple courtesy as a matter of their practice but in my 25 + years of interfacing with attorneys, in my respectful opinion, John stands out in my top 10% of attorneys I have interacted with. You will also note that John is always prepared with his cases and painstakingly researches relevant subject matter prior to his presentation. Currently, he is jointly involved in a legal proceeding that has elevated to a higher level within the PA Court System. As the sole Authorized Representative who he has interfaced with since our case began in the Summer of 2013, I can unequivocally state without hesitation that John is an extraordinary attorney of impeccable caliber. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to potential clients seeking an attorney who knows his trade but especially for the type of person he is which is TRUTHFUL.
RE: Family Law John was referred to me from a mutual colleague of ours. I’m very grateful for the reference. John’s services were necessary with very short notice and he responded to my call late in the evening, outside of normal business hours. John went above and beyond to get the details of my issue and then immediately outlined a thoughtful approach. He communicated promptly and directly to opposing counsel and immediately set expectations and boundaries in a respectful and assertive nature. John communicated effectively (to me and opposing counsel) and that was evidenced by his results. I have a great deal of gratitude for his services. His ethical standards that he brought to the issues were impeccable; he stuck clearly to goals and objectives; and his professional approach got outstanding results. I would recommend John to this review’s reader.
