If you’re contemplating legal counsel regarding your presence in your child’s life, make no mistake. Everything is on the line. John kept me grounded through a situation that had every reason to make me spiral. When emotions are high and everything feels overwhelming, what you need most is someone who’s going to be honest with you. Someone who tells you the truth, keeps you focused, and makes sure you handle what actually matters instead of getting lost in how you feel. That’s what I got here. Real guidance. Real structure. Real results. I came into this expecting to fight. I walked away with more than I could have asked for. I received peace of mind, clarity, and the security of knowing I can be there for my child. That’s all that matters. And if that’s what you’re fighting for too, this is the team you want. Response from the owner: In Law We Trust Divorce and Family Lawyers thanks you very much! Ken Sloat John is an excellent attorney. Unlike some other attorneys you may speak with, John is very straight forward, sticking to the facts, and will tell you the realities of a case whether they are good or bad. Throughout my time working with him, he kept me from getting tied up with all the what ifs and theoretical outcomes, sticking to the facts we had in front of us. It is obvious he makes decisions based on his client's best interest and is very knowledgeable. I also really appreciated that he did not "nickel and dime" me for questions or quick chats on the phone. He was always extremely responsive to texts, phone calls and emails, usually responding immediately. I recognize that as an experienced attorney, his time is extremely valuable so this was something I thought was very generous of him and for sure putting his client first. When it came time for mediation, John and Suzanne had over-prepared our case which I truly believe helped to give us a favorable outcome. I hope I do not need an attorney again, but if I do, John will be at the top of my list! I would highly recommend him for any man that needs representation in a family law case! Response from the owner: In Law We Trust Divorce and Family Lawyers thanks you very much! Dan Sullivan John is an absolutely amazing attorney. He tells it to you like it is and won't charge you for things unnecessary that won't contribute to the best outcome for your case. He's extremely prompt in replying to messages and emails. His presence and knowledge in the courtroom was outstanding. If I could give him 10 stars I would...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Expect to man up if you hire him... No sugarcoating here...have tough skin as he is very direct in his communication but I assure you he will get the job done ✅ Response from the owner: In Law We Trust Divorce and Family Lawyers thanks you very much!
