Mr. Edgell was hire for an adoption case of my daughter. He was always in contact for every step he did. The day before the appointment to be front the judge, he gave me a call and went through what was going to happen in court
I am so happy I choose Michael Edgell to take forward with my step daughter adoption. Michael along his paralegal Shelly helped both my wife and myself make this process go well and smooth. They were very patient with us and never felt pressured or rushed in anything. They always made sure we understood everything and always answered our questions within an hour of sending an email. I totally recommend them for all of your adoption services. Very knowledgeable and professional.
Trust is the foundation of any relationship, and John has earned my trust ! John's a true professional, and has provided excellent guidance to our family.
Mr. Even and his staff were wonderful to work with. Even though I was able to carry out much of the trust work, there were many areas too complicated for me alone. And at the times I needed guidance to carry out my responsibilities, John and his staff were always available and quick to respond to any inquiry or request. I strongly recommend him for trust and estate work.
My father and I had our Trust, Wills, POA's revised by John Even. He provided much more in depth and quality documents than either of us had previously prepared by others. He tailored to our specific needs, and explained each of the documents, so we understood. He answered any questions that we had. I would absolutely recommend him for Estate Planning!!
We needed to update our wills and we have some unique issues that were hanging over our heads as to how to handle them. John developed a great solution that gives us great comfort. We were very pleased.
John was very responsive and helpful in guiding us to make the right decisions in the development of our estate plan. We really enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend him.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
