A friend referred me to John Liston. John is empathetic but direct, and incredibly thorough. He successfully resolved my case with expediency. I can’t say enough about John. If you want an attorney that will be 100% in your corner, contact John M. Liston today.

John has helped me during the worst time of my life. From my previous job to seeking the next job, he was just great support in every aspect. I was able to continue my career because of his help. I appreciate his attitude and help. He is the best.

There are not enough words to adequately describe John. To say he is the most knowledgeable, gifted attorney would be an understatement. In what turned out to be an incredibly long, drug out, nasty case...John held our hands the entire way and took the time to carefully explain each and every step and what it would mean for the future of our case. Even when we were unsure if the system would fail us, he constantly reassured us that we were taking all of the correct steps. John never once lost his cool and always took the high road. In court, he was informed, punctual, and to the point. He knows the law and fights to defend it. He is a true class act. We will always consider John family. Thankful he was able to help us defend our rights and bring us some justice. His help and knowledge were priceless.

I hired John to what I thought would be a short mediation, which has turned into a longer battle. Although I have not received resolution at this time, I can confidently say I have the best attorney possible for my issues (EEO) with my employer. John is extremely empathetic, honest and always responds to calls/emails in a timely manner (same day). John is extremely professional and also very personable. He has offered his legal expertise on other issues outside the scope of my employment issues (such as reviewing a FOIA request). John will be upfront and honest if something is out of his scope of expertise. John is an incredibly kind person and has become what I consider a friend, but he is also not afraid to fight. After seeing him in mediation and correspondence with attorneys from my employer, John fiercely fought for me in a stern and professional manner, which gave me the utmost confidence in his abilities and integrity. John never talked or pressured me into taking a bad deal. In fact, he comforted me that he was in this for the long run. This is the kind of guy John is. I cannot say enough good things about his skills and character, John has been incredible and I will continue to use or at the minimum - consult with him regarding any issues dealing with any future employment issues.

John helped me settle a discrimination/harassment case related to my gender identity. From the start, John approached me and my case with a great level of empathy and understanding. He explained the process clearly and honestly so that I felt comfortable and informed along every step of the way. I feel very grateful to have found him to represent me so authentically and unwaveringly.

John was very approachable and easy to work with and to discuss things with. He was very knowledgeable about the applicable laws and was open and honest about the legal process I would face if I had chosen to go that route. I really appreciated that. It further built my trust and confidence in him. Although, I ultimately decided not to pursue legal action in my situation, I felt more confident and educated in my decision after working with John.

A rare combination of professionalism, down-to-earth and understanding gentleman. I approached John to assist me with settling a wage dispute with my employer. I was very impressed with his knowledge of law and understanding of complex situations. He is always a step ahead and responds promptly to questions and clarifications.

John is a truly exceptional lawyer. He is brilliant and knows the law inside and out. John has the unique gift of deeply understanding human behavior. He therefore knows how to best approach complex situations that involve multiple parties. He is ten steps ahead in thinking through scenarios and how others might react. Coupling that with his ability to make confusing legal issues easy to understand and his genuine kindness and compassion, you have an outstanding lawyer. I highly recommend working with John.

John isn’t just a lawyer, he’s a seer. Having hired him to settle an employee dispute, John worked diligently on my case, guided me through the process, and won!

While always respecting religious traditions, Mr. Liston assisted me with personal administrative issues regarding my church and and archdiocese (the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America). Mr. Liston advised me and worked closely and efficiently with me so that an equitable resolution to my issue would be reached with my ecclesiastical superiors.
