John took my case, despite it being outside his current realm of practice. Unfortunately, COVID struck as he took me on, causing much anxiety and uncertainty. He went above and beyond during this time to take care of my situation as quickly as possible. John is brilliant, efficient, and makes his clients satisfaction his priority. I strongly recommend him to anyone needing the best of the best.

I hired John Thurston after reading the reviews here. He is one of the best lawyers in town. I had previously met with other attorneys in the area and I was not impressed. John took my case and fought for me. Thank you for making an unpleasant situation bearable.

I really enjoyed working with John. We needed John on two instances and both had favorable outcomes. John is very straight forward and knowledgeable about the players at both the city and county levels. He is passionate about his clients rights, yet objective in the range of outcomes achievable and the timetables they will take. I couldn't have been happier with John's approach and the manner in which he conducted himself and guidance for our family member. I would highly recommend John to anyone needing assistance.

I fired two lawyers before i got to john. The other lawyers would have got me out in jail and a felony on my record. John took my case look over it gave me a wounderful price and work with me on the payments. At the end of this case I'm walking away a free man and no felonies on my record. John showed that he cared about my life and in his eyes i was inocent and he showed it and proved it. John is very agressive and trustworthy. Im free i get to go home to my wife and three sons Im free . John i can't thank you enough MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND I THANK GOD FOR BRINGING ME TO YOU. LOOK PEOPLE IF YOU WANT THE JOB DONE RITE THEN YOU HAVE TO HIRE THE RITE PERSON JOHN IS THAT PERSON. I CANT STOP SAYING IT IM FREE THANK YOU AGAIN FOR BELIEVING ME AND FIGHITING FOR ME

I hired John in 2007 to help defend me in a military Court Martial case. I was facing upwards of 6 years. John worked with my military attorney and I came out with a reductiion in rank, confinement to post and put out of the army. Best money that I have ever invested.

Received prompt response by email to my legal questions. Lawyers responses showed friendliness and concern that you don't see everyday.

I had a serious misunderstood incident that cost me multiple pending felony charges and would have led to prison time for protecting a member of the family. Mr. Thurston was compelled, understanding, honest, and upfront with his professional opinion and services. His knowledge in the law, will to fight for his client's BEST interest, and networking capability with other agencies is monumental. If you need criminal defense in Kansas, don't go anywhere else. But before anyone judges an opinion of cost just remember, you get what you pay for. My oney was worth every dime spent.

Very Professional. John will give you an honest assessment of your situation and create the strongest defense possible. I achieved a successful outcome because we were ready to go to trail and fight. Most Lawyers would have quit. If you want someone who will fight for you and your freedoms; I recommend John W. Thurston.

After being charged with a DUI offense I contacted John Thurston's office and arranged a meeting. After speaking with John I was at ease with what I was facing. Every time new information came up or a court date was near I was always informed promptly. I never felt hesitant about asking questions, and John will reiterate over and over that he wants you to call if you have any questions. Prior to my court dates I was walked through what would happen and reassured that John would take care of everything in the courtroom. He is a straight shooter about how he feels about your case and go through specifics of what he likes and dislikes about it. A very friendly, professional, and caring attorney who will make dealing with the law as easy and smooth as it can possibly be.
