I was referred to John for divorce proceedings and his representation was exceptional, knowledgeable and extremely kind. I have consulted with him on other matters and he always responds, helping me immeasurably.

John was referred to by a friend, Right away John was attentive and was able to attend court with only a few days of notice. He is experienced, knowledgeable and patient. He asked me all the hard questions right away and never made any false promises. I appreciate him and his hard work to be able to get the favorable results we wanted.

John was referred by a friend who was represented by him in her divorce. When I found myself needing his services I reached out right away. From the beginning he took the time to answer my questions directly, helped me to understand the divorce process and was very direct and ethical. I am grateful for his support in making my divorce easy and seamless.

John was prompt and very knowledgeable. I was very happy with both his work quality and the fact he really was attentive to my needs. But again I have to mention that I appreciate his promptness.

Recently, for the first time in our lives, my wife and I were served with a law suit. This was totally out of the blue and came as a complete shock to us. We are senior citizens and the news was very concerning to us. Having never been involved in a law suit we had no idea what to do next and the anxiety was causing us sleepless nights. John was recommended to us and we set up an in person meeting. My wife and I were quickly put at ease as he throughly explained, in terms we could understand, that we should have nothing to worry about as he didn’t feel the case had merit. He further explained that we did have to follow legal protocol to favorably resolve the issue and that legal representation should be obtained. We were so comfortable with John that we hired him on the spot, as my wife and I both sensed Johns’ decency and fairness - he was going to represent us and he saw us as people in need and not just a pay check. The bottom line - John got the case against us dismissed! We would not hesitate to obtain Johns’ service again, should the need arise and would highly and without reservation recommend him for your legal issues.

John was very patient and helpful during my divorce. He was knowledgeable about family law and help direct me toward a suitable outcome. I would happily refer him to anyone needing a family law lawyer

John and I started working together over 10 years ago with my divorce. He is a straight shooter and no BS. Most lawyer's will milk your bank account forever. My x-wife's lawyer did and it cost her 3 times as much! I won't say his name (VE), but my X's jaw dropped in court when she saw the cost difference. The court made her pay her lawyer's entire fees in full for all the games he played with John and I. Bottom line - Take advantage of John's services.

Worked with him in Ventura County. He knows the people, knows the system, knows the law. Unfortunately my custody case went to a multi-day trial. Fortunately I had John Medlen on my side. Decision could have gone either way, and everything was at stake for my children. The most memorable moment of the proceedings was his closing statement, which he delivered calmly, eloquently, and with emotion where appropriate, and which above all demonstrated such a clear understanding of the facts of my case, as well as a brilliant approach to the court's concerns.
We got everything we asked for. My children will never know how much of their mental and emotional health they owe to John Medlen, and that's exactly how it should be.
In response to the only negative review on this site, in my extensive experience with John Medlen over three years, he has been extraordinarily responsive, always answering communications quickly, even when I occasionally needed advice after-hours or on a weekend.

An extremely dedicated and professional person. Fair and legal in every shape of the manner. Things get done as as we wish time wise but they do eventually. Honesty is key in today’s settings and my dear lawyer and friend definitely set those boundaries.

John has represented several members of my family. Without John, things would have gone very badly for them. He won their cases, each time and saved them a great deal of money as a result. He's experienced in his field and knows the law. He knows how to apply it to benefit his clients. He's honest and has great integrity. He will tell you the truth, even if it's painful. He has experience as a trial lawyer as well. John would be the first person I'd call, if I ever needed a top notch attorney. He will get you the best outcome possible. I highly recommend this man.
