John was absolutely the best decision I made to handle my divorce. I had used another attorney previously and had been taken advantage of by my ex - meaning a large financial loss on my part for something that was overlooked. John not only helped me right that wrong, he helped me overhaul my entire poorly written divorce agreement and make it so that it was more fair all around and something I could live with. The best thing about John is that he is multifaceted - if he needs to be a bulldog for a deposition, he can (trust me I saw it!), but he will also encourage you to try to do what is best for your family and children. Divorce and custody battles can take a major emotional toll on a person, and John knows that sometimes it’s best to try to come to an agreement outside of court, to avoid any unnecessary heartache (and expenses) on your part. He handled my case perfectly, and I was very happy with the outcome. I have since recommended him to a few friends, and will continue to do so.
John and his entire staff is great to work with. They were always pleasant to talk to. They always got back to me quickly. And John was a shrewd negotiator. He definitely got the job done.
