Mr. Lhota was able to identify and execute a legal plan to win my case. Also, his demeanor and guidance were much appreciated and calming, especially during this worldwide crisis.

John was very helpful from explaining what to expect along the way and making sure that I understand the process. Very informative whenever I had any questions and prompt replies. I’d highly recommend John.

John is easy to talk with and very knowledgeable. I appreciated his feedback as well as his thorough approach to helping me draft an agreement that I needed for my small start-up business. If you're looking for a down to earth lawyer who is professional, follows up, and sets out to help you accomplish your goals as painlessly as possible then I recommend calling John Lhota.

Mr. Lhota was professional while also being down to earth. He took the time to thoroughly explain every thing that was going on / what to expect during the process. He was also readily avaiable to answer any questions I might have had. I would recommend him to anybody, and would turn to him first if I again am in need of legal services in the future.

I have not a single complaint about the services provided by John Lhota and the law firm. I had approached other people but liked John best. I don’t know much about legal issues but John took us through all of them with normal easy to understand language which was greatly appreciated. He was always efficient and punctual with information and very clear and concise. THANKS JOHN!!
