I don’t feel he was in it for just the money. I was a nervous wreck, and he took care of everything. Zoey was equally amazing. Kind, responsive, well organized. Everyone here was amazing to work with. I felt they were supportive throughout the entire process.

Always on time, represented me well. He was able to deal with all the nonsense involved with my ex’s attorney. He was able to present the facts and the ruling went in my favor. I felt well taken care of by not only Mr. Setlich, but his assistants whenever I would call in or send over some documents. I’m happy with how things turned out.

I found him to be very professional and well organized. I needed help with some documents with my mother, and he went that extra mile to make sure everything was in order. We both felt well taken care of with Mr. Setlich and would recommend him to others.

He’s a great attorney for all legal matters. I’ve worked with John a few times in the past, and never had any issues. Service was always great, always a 5-star representation on his behalf. I’ve always spoke highly of him to others and will continue to do so.

John and his team were great. He came highly recommended from a friend that had used him in the past. I’ve used an attorney once before, but think he’s one of the best guys in the Chino Hills area. I had him work on a major civil lawsuit and he took care of everything! The best of the best, thank you.

I felt I had an incredibly responsive attorney when it came to my case. Both Mr. Setlich and his assistants were always getting back to me. They understood the situation I was going through and were all quite helpful to my case. I'd recommend workng with him if you need expert advice regarding civil matters.

Won my case and was a great divorce lawyer! I felt he was always there to answer my questions and help put my mind at ease. The custody and divorce process was easier than I though. In the end I'm happy with the results that he was able to deliver.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews
