John sees the practice of law, when practiced well, as a calling and a service, and works diligently to provide clients with solid, objective advice early in the representation, so that they can, based on their aims and values, make wise decisions. Throughout his more than 31 years of practice, most of his work has concentrated on civil litigation and trial practice, including but not limited to a significant emphasis on family law, but with significant dedication to the areas of wills and estates and business law. When not at the office John enjoys spending time with his beautiful wife, Monica, as well as their daughters and ever-growing extended family. He also spends more time than he probably should obsessing over the fortunes and misfortunes of the Philadelphia Phillies and James Madison Dukes.
