Reviews for John B.
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.John Mizell has been our attorney for 30+ years. In our opinion there is no better in this profession. He has all of the professional abilities (he has provided the services of both trust & estate and real estate)one would hope for but above that he is the most humble, kind, and helpful individual in a profession where unfortunately this appears to be lacking. He genuinely cares for us and any issue we have presented to him.
Mr. Mizell is the best attorney I have ever had. A genuinely nice guy who I am happy to pay for his prompt, efficient, excellent advice. Knows his stuff, cares about his clients, and promptly returns all calls and messages. I recommend him too you with the highest of confidence.
