John A. Christiansen has represented me twice and each time I felt it was a good outcome. He listens and explains the law extremely well, cut down on expenses when he could, still got me justice$$$.... I highly recommend him!

John took charge and made sure that my workman comp. bills were paid. He did all the leg work. A real professional job. And he got me a fair settlement.

John Christiansen is an amazing lawyer and has been a blessing to us. He has helped me since I was 15 years old and I am now 40. He has taken care of any bad situations I have gotten myself into. He is kind and stays in touch with his clients so you are never wondering what is going on with your case. He is also very reasonably priced. I feel the Lord has blessed us with his help. If you need a lawyer, John is your guy!

When I was injured at work and was running into issues with dealing with workers comp. Insurance, I contacted John, from the first moment we spoke he was very professional and offered to meet with me to discuss my injury. From there I hired John due to the fact he layed out exactly how things would go and made me feel very secure with his knowledge and experience. John was very responisive and very helpful throughout my entire case. He got me a fair settlement in the end and I would highly recomend him to anyone that is looking for a workers comp. lawyer.

I had suffered a work-related injury. I found John on line, called and met with him soon after. I liked his demeanor, confidence, knowledge and his honesty. He was easy to work with and responded to questions promptly. I would definitely use him again, if needed or refer him to a friend/anyone in need of legal expertise.

I have used other lawyers in the past to handle traffic incidents and I have always had to call several times. With John Christiansen, one call and the traffic incident is taken care of. Fast and simple!! I have been a customer of his for over 10 years.

John handled my worker's compensation claim expertly. He explained everything to me in terms I could understand, followed up in a timely manner and ultimately negotiated a settlement that was much higher than my expectations. I would recommend John without reservation.
