I went to John for representing in a divorce case from a mentally ill woman who drove this poor man crazy nuts! I felt bad for going to him and putting him through the nightmare that was my ex. Although he handled it flawlessly and delt with the female train wreck with ease. He's a good attorney!

I thought I could handle my divorce by completing all my forms on my own. Well, I was wrong and the courts couldn't tell me what I did wrong. After 2 years of going back and forth trying to figure out what I did wrong, I decided to hand it over to a professional/lawyer. I found John on a Google search. I was able to get an appointment right away with him. He was able to work around my schedule. John took control of everything and and within 3 weeks my divorce was completed. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.
