John is an amazing attorney with an outstanding team. After using several attorneys in the past for a complicated, messy situation that seemed to never end John got the job done and got it done quickly. I was hesitant to hire another lawyer after John was referred to me in fear of being over charged and getting nothing accomplished. This was not the case with John. He was compassionate, understanding and didn't miss a single detail, which in the long run will make your life easier. I'm so grateful to have worked with John and cant recommend him enough - you want this man on your team asap if you're going thru a divorce, custody or support issue.

John was always timely, educated and responsive. He has a great understanding of the divorce laws, proceedings and the ins and outs of the divorce process. He is extremely professional and always had my best interest in mind as we went through the divorce process.

Attorney John Conniff provided excellent, top notch service as my divorce lawyer! I had been putting off hiring a lawyer for almost 5 years thinking I could do not without an attorney, but I hired him instead and he was so efficient, caring, and on top of things! He keeps his clients best interest 100% top priority. I can’t say enough good things! I highly recommend him!

John came to me highly recommended and he did not disappoint in my dealings with him. As someone who was going through a really tenuous situation, he really took his time explain to me all of my options and in such a way that I felt both supported and empowered all at the same time. John explained all processes thoroughly and gave me his expert legal advice for every scenario that came about while also giving me other options, which I very much appreciated. John’s timeliness, thoughtfulness and attentiveness really made this highly charged emotional situation bearable. I would recommend John a thousand times over!

He answered all questions I had with great knowledgeability regarding the matters at hand for my case. He was very understanding and willing to work with you in regards to your finances for services. My court matter was completed in a timely and efficient manner with his service. I would highly recommend his services and if I ever need his services again in the future, I won’t hesitate to give him a call.
