Committed to Justice™: In and Out of Court
About Us:
Few lawyers have handled as many high profile cases as our firm over the last several years. From Jordan Davis to 131 child victims of pediatric dentist Howard S. Schneider, DDS, John or his clients have been a guest of nearly every news or talk show. This is simply one asset we use to advantage our clients- one which should be used with extreme care and caution.
John also is frequently consulted as one of the top legal minds in the country. CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, ABC, CBS and NBC have interviewed him at some point. Choosing to spend more time working on cases than in front of cameras, John provides more expert commentary to local news, but still frequently appears nationally.
Media is important. It can put pressure on those otherwise unconcerned with our timeline of justice. We’ve had people arrested by doing press conferences and had investigative reporters ask tough questions before we could. It’s one more tool we use to get justice for you.

Rolling Stone Magazine:
On November 23, 2012, Jordan Davis was shot and killed in Jacksonville, Florida by Michael Dunn. Rolling Stone Magazine took interest in the case. Award winning writer, Paul Solotaroff, took on Stand Your Ground and the unique facts of the wrongful death of Jordan Davis. It took two criminal trials, but Dunn was ultimately convicted and serving life in prison.
The day the article was published, two documentary crews took interest in the case. One premiered at Sundance and the other at Tribecca. One won an Emmy.
