Law Office of John M. Boucher. I cant speak for the other individuals who rate this mam a 1 nor is it any of my concerns but I just had to state the facts. To not draw this out to be a long detailed story, I can tell you John Boucher made a difference in not just my life but the people involved in it. I had some pretty serious charges against me that wasn't just going to send me away to prison for some years but ruin my record for life as a felon. Dealing with my career path I was doing before this allegations, I knew I had to get the best lawyer in Knoxville to handle my case carefully as be dedicated. With the fact he was prior military as in the legal profession, that said alot about him and his knowledge. He went above and beyond and believed in my innocence making me feel confident on the case being resolved properly. It has taken a good length of time to get this case as these charges put behind me but with his hard work and determination to get justice served for me it has worked out very well. I was always a bias on the legal system esp dealing with minorities but the reassurance of Mr. Boucher along with his professionalism, I knew I was in good hands. The times I wanted to give up or give in to a plea bargain he pushed me to know we will prove my innocence so was no need to either of those. To sum it all up, I am a true believer that the legal system can be a hassle as can be down right impossible to understand esp when you are innocence. I came to Mr. John Boucher and put my faith in his hands on this matter along all the other issues going on and he proved to me that there are great dedicated lawyers out there who wont give you the run arounds or bs you. I cant thank him enough for all he has done for me and fought for me on this long legal battle

I spent nearly a year in jail after being falsely accused of some very horrible crimes. I had a great job up at Y-12, and home, and a great little life until the accusations. My previous attorney took my money, and while I rotted in jail waiting on a trial, I lost my job, my house to foreclosure, and my family. After I ran out of money, the Court Appointed, Mr. Boucher to be my lawyer. That was the best thing that happened. He took this case to trial in only a few months, and he was relentless in the Courtroom. The jury deliberated for less than 45 minutes before saying "not guilty" 22 times!!! He saved my life!!! He smiled, shook my hand, and simply said, "that is how it is done."

Oh absolutely I would recommend this attorney. He helped me prevent a foreclosure situation on my home. He is truly vested in his clients' best interest. He's like a bulldog...kind of unassuming, but packs a punch if he has to. Love him, won't use anyone else.

He is a great lawyer. He helped me threw my divorce quickly and was quick to explain the process to me. He is very knowledgeable of the law and does not beat around the bush, he will tell you how the courts will rule and if your settlement is fair. He save me a lot of time and aggravation in court.

I consulted with John Boucher and hired this law firm for a pretty major charge. He gave me the impression that the charges could be dismissed and that he would represent me. I paid him upfront and in full and thereafter things changed. He would not answer emails or phone calls. The night before the case, he ignores all of my previous questions/comments and tells me that he had passed my case off to another attorney. Then the morning of the case, the new attorney calls me asking about the details of the case! I was very disappointed that he hadn't prepared or even been told the situation until the very last minute. Surprisingly, the jail time was negotiated down, but this entire situation was an awful experience.
