John received his J.D. from Cornell. With over 30 years of litigation experience in state and federal courts, John has built a reputation as a tenacious and skilled advocate across jurisdictions nationwide. His courtroom work has taken him from Oregon and Washington to California and Washington, D.C., giving him a breadth of perspective that informs his strategic approach at every stage of a case.
John manages the full arc of litigation-from early investigation and discovery through hearings, trial, settlement, and appeal-ensuring that clients have consistent, experienced counsel no matter where a matter leads. His practice spans a wide range of complex disputes, including trust and estate litigation, contract and business conflicts, and tort claims, and he brings the same methodical preparation and attention to detail to each.
Throughout his career, John has remained committed to one guiding principle: that effective advocacy begins with clear, open communication. He believes that clients are best served when they understand not just the status of their matter, but the strategy behind it. That transparency – paired with decades of hard-won courtroom experience – is what allows John to pursue his clients’ objectives with both confidence and precision.
