"Paul and I found you very professional and you made us feel like people. That is not an easy attribute to find in someone.

John, you did a great job and I feel you took Paul's brain injury and his challenges into account when speaking with us which means a lot to us.

You were very professional while taking into account we have feelings and you always kept us informed about how the claim was going."

“John acted as Plaintiff counsel on a medical malpractice claim where I was defending a physician. The file was sensitive to say the least, and called on all parties to bring their best work to the table. John was a tireless advocate on behalf of his client, a minor, and brought the matter to a resolution with both sensitivity and respect. His grasp of the complex issues involved was admirable. I would recommend him highly as legal counsel on any similar file.”
