John Miskey is a lawyer’s lawyer. He is compassionate, smart, well versed, a consummate professional and effective. His long-standing relationships and stellar reputation within the family law community foster a collaborative and highly successful outcome. I found John because I needed a lawyer with an expertise in resolving extremely high conflict, and high challenge cases. I was in a seemingly intractable situation with someone who had years of planning and strategizing for a separation. I required a highly skilled, nuanced attorney, capable of managing and navigating a multifaceted, and very complex case. John was incredible, as is his team, and the firm. I recommend John completely, without hesitation or reservation, for the most challenging cases in family law, custody, separation, divorce, equitable distribution, mediation and litigation.

Going through a divorce/separation is the most trying time in anyone's life that brings out every emotion possible sometime in the same day. John is extremely calm, patient, caring, and knowledgeable about all facets of this process. His approach is one of confidence, calmness, honesty, and being an advocate for the best interests of his clients. Having him on my team in the months leading up to and the day of mediation was vital in achieving a fair and just outcome. I highly recommend John and his team for anyone wanting an attorney that is out for your best interests and that truly understands all the emotions that come with such a tough time.

John was able to provide excellent legal advise and application for me regarding a complex case that went off and on for nearly 5 years. An overall favorable result was achieved at a fair and anticipated price. I view John as more than an attorney but also a friend and close confidant.

John Miskey is an outstanding attorney. He came highly recommended and I could not agree more. After hearing about his legal knowledge and capability , I researched his bio and was impressed to see his community advocacy work as well, particularly with the Compass Center for Women and Families. That told me a lot about his character. He was extremely helpful throughout a challenging and emotionally turbulent process, keeping me educated and informed every step of the way-- always providing guidance and support. He was reliable and readily available for my questions at any time of day. We were able to settle out of court because of his firm and effective negotiation skills, but I had no doubt that, if court had become necessary, he would have been a fierce advocate. Divorce is not easy, but it is certainly reassuring to have full confidence in your legal representation. I cannot recommend John Miskey highly enough and will always be grateful.

John and his team had my back when I needed them with a difficult situation at home. Thanks to his help I was able to navigate the legal system to right some wrongs. He listened to me and helped me stir my case in the right direction . Thanks to him I was able to save my marriage. He is well connected and respected in the Orange County courthouse and he was fair with me throughout the whole process as far as legal fee’s. Highly recommend.
