Specializing in complex civil litigation, John handles a broad range of matters, including commercial business disputes, real estate transactions, landlord/tenant conflicts, personal injury litigation—with a focus on catastrophic injury cases—and construction litigation.

Throughout his career, John has successfully negotiated a mediated settlement for a large limousine company, securing a resolution significantly below the available policy limits in a complex civil case involving traumatic brain injury and lifetime impairment claims.
