John has represented my firm for over 18 years. He has helped us with numerous settlements associated with our general contracting business from subcontractor claim settlement, client/owner negotiations, to orchestrating a major settlement with the EPA which took over 3 years. In this case John helped us find and manage a specialist attorney in environmental law, represented us in our various claims with the insurance carriers involved and in doing so helped us obtain the necessary funds needed to settle the issue. John also represented us with the American Indian tribe involved with the case as well as the public entities involved. This was a very complicated case which in the end came to a very satisfying conclusion. This would not have been possible without John and his team's support and guidance. John knows and understands construction and is very practical in his counseling and leadership.
