Reviews for John
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I needed an attorney in Atlanta for a real estate law suit. Not being from Atlanta I sat in the court room that my case was assigned to and asked the clerk for name of few attorney firms. John's was one that I walked in to and asked to see an attorney. Fortunately he was the one who came to talk to me. He has been above all very caring which is more important to me than anything else. However he is extremely smart and a true fighter if you are in the right. I can't recommend him enough.
