These comments were made by fellow attorneys during the annual nomination process.
“I have known John since 1997 when we worked together at the Massachusetts Department of Revenue/Child Support Enforcement Division. We have since both developed our own respective private practices with an emphasis on family law matters. John and I have continued to work together from time to time, consulting with one another on challenging case matters and also working together as co-counsel. He is definitely one of my "go-to" peers. He has a fine mind, a sharp wit, and is very good "on his feet" in oral argument. One of the things I think distinguishes John from other lawyers is his incredibly creative mind - he always seems to know how to draw creative analogies and how to use language in a persuasive and impactful manner. He is "head and shoulders above the rest" when it comes to oral advocacy.”
“John brings great care and compassion to his clients and works to resolve their divorce, custody, contempt, support or other family law matter civilly but, should the other side be unreasonable, John is a wonderful trial attorney who will fight aggressively to achieve his client's goals.”
