Hired Attorney John F. Vickers

John Vickers is the FIRST Lawyer I've dealt with, that really listens. He cares about your case. I've already recommended him many times. I've dealt with quite a few lawyers for different reasons, like helping someone else & my own stuff. I'd never go to another lawyer in the future. My husband, my son, and I think he's the best. You will not find another lawyer like John in this area, believe me, I KNOW!

Hired Law Firm

Unfortunately I have to leave a review regarding my experience with this firm. I was referred to Mr. Paul Martin by our Chicago firm and brought him an layup of a case against a fraudulent contractor. This was a mid 6 figure lawsuit. Mr. Martin took over a year and his communication with me was less then stellar, which is bearable. However, the case never settled and went to trial. After one year of research, meetings, and discovery, Mr. Martin not only went to trial unprepared, but he couldn't remember my name, my companies name, the defendants name and a majority of the evidence he was provided. The presentation was frankly embarrassing and I had to correct/help him on countless occasions. The result was decision by the judge in my favor, however due to the terrible presentation, the mid 6 figure lawsuit turned into a low 5 figure verdict which ended up costing me money after his fees. Mr. Martin is frankly far past his prime and in clear cognitive decline. Seek other console.

Hired Attorney John F. Vickers

My wife and I recently hired John Vickers(Law Offices of White, Marsh, Anderson, Martin, Vickers, Deobler & Goode) to represent us in a child support dispute. While he is good at research his communication and case handling is severely lacking. Two times we did not have to be present in court, and one other time we had the wrong date scheduled for court(our fault). When we showed up 2 days late for court we realized we had the wrong date written down. He did not call us at any time, even when we

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

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
