Hired Attorney Mr. John M. Butin

Excellent! Mr. John M. Butin is an amazing lawyer! He helped my husband attain his residency in less than a year. He was very helpful throughout the whole process and made sure we were over prepared for our interview. The staff is very professional and His Legal Assistant, Carmen Bautista, always kept us updated on any changes. They made sure to always return any calls in a short amount of time. I would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family.

Hired Attorney Mr. John M. Butin

Mr. John Butin helped with my immigration process. From the first meeting I felt comfortability and assurance in a very professional environment. His knowledge on immigration law led me to take him on for this endeavor. His Legal Assistant Carmen Bautista let me know of every status change and was always available. They are both fluent in Spanish, and the most important thing is that I got my permanent residency as they assured I would. Efficiency, Professionalism, Respect, Support and Results.

Hired Attorney Mr. John M. Butin

Excellent attorney! Mr. Butin helped my mother obtain her residency back in 2006. We were so happy with his services and that of his staff that we came back this year to renew my mother's permanent US residency. He is honest and trustworthy. I am always recommending him to friends and family.

Hired Law Firm

My experience has been with Greg Sperry. From 1992-2001, he counseled our family regarding choices for funneling assets to faith-based charities and family and avoiding or reducing taxes. He drafted numerous documents, foresaw problems and helped us contract around them, mediated between the several family members, explaining the law and the settlor's wishes. Mr. Sperry made several trips from Georgia to Arkansas to facilitate this representation and meet the family members.

I own real estate and have had a small business in GA even though I now live in Austin TX. The selection of attorneys in GA is pretty dismal and by GA standards, Joe is really pretty special.

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.
