Professional Philosophy

"Work hard and do well for my clients." But John also believes in the need for lawyers to preserve civility in the practice of law, and in our courts. "I carefully prepare my cases to win, but along the way I do my best to treat my opponents the way I would like to be treated. This might seem easy to do, but sometimes, when I am facing an opponent who may not share my view, it can challenge me. I know that that adherence to the 'golden rule' has always served my clients very well."
