Very professional

John Hager is an outstanding criminal lawyer. As the owner of a certified recovery facility, John understands substance abuse and mental health issues. John and James Club Recovery believe in treatment versus incarceration. I have worked with John on numerous occasions and have witnessed him getting second chances for deserving and willing individuals to turn their lives around. I highly recommend this skilled lawyer.

I don’t have enough space to write all the ways Mr. Hager has gone over and above for our family. We were recently faced with an issue regarding our 70 year old father. He suffers from dementia and Alzheimers, to make a long story short he was arrested for the first time in his life. My parents retired to Florida and us kids are scattered from Indiana to Texas. Mr. Hager was so patient with us all in repeating the same stories to us all during different calls. From the very first call he started working on our dads case. We were given his personal cell number and told to call whenever and for whatever, and we did. He always answered and was always patient with us as we’ve never been through anything like this before. He assured us he would get this taken care of. He went way above and beyond and worked diligently and had our fathers case thrown out in less than a week. He understood how time sensitive this matter was for us as our dad was scheduled to go to an assisted living facility and they wouldn’t allow him with a pending battery. Let me repeat IN LESS THAN A WEEK THE CHARGES WERE GONE!!! We were floored to get that call!! Mr. Hager treated us like we were his only clients and nothing else mattered than getting this fixed for our family. I can not express the amount of gratitude our family has for Mr. Hager and his team! I pray we never need him again but if we do we will NEVER call anyone else but him. We have told everyone in our family and friends how amazing he is. He made the worst event our family has had to deal with feel like it never happened and we can all sleep again!! I could go on and on about him and how amazing he is. If you find yourself in need of an attorney do yourself a favor and stop looking and hire him......immediately!!!! You will be glad you did. Thank you so much Mr. Hager!

Preface, I sadly earned myself a Battery. After my Bondsman bailed me out, I called multiple Attorney Firm's. When I called Hager & Schwartz, Mr. Hager personally answered the phone, patiently & kindly took time & listened to me explain my situation, concerns, & ask questions, of which he answered all in perfect detail. I was still under the impression that I was going to continue to use my Public Defender. Arraignment day came, in short, it was an unorganized unprofessional disaster, I felt further compromised. I immediately called Mr. Hager, spoke of my experience, and we promptly scheduled a time to meet & go over paper work. Upon terms agreement & signing, I requested & recieved a meeting with Mr. Hagar. We went over every detail, question, & concern. After that, I pretty much didn't have to do anything, other than sign a couple documents. Mr. Hager reached out to all necessary parties, & handled everything. If his Firm had questions, they'd call &/or email. Mr. Hager also had direct contact with my Judge, which was huge... Their paralegal, was efficient & punctual as well! Conclusion, case was dismissed, and we are in the process of expungement. Everything, thank G*d & Hager & Shwartz PA, turned our exactly how we wanted! I HIGHLY recommend this Firm! Stephen

The first time you mean John, you notice is a Good person, and might think- "I need someone who is not nice and tears the opponent into pieces!" Then he gets to work, it's kind of in phases: I. You dump all the details on him, it gets a little confusing and he starts pointing to areas that are non-productive and productive. This approach helps to change focus on what will work and what will not in your case. II. You get stronger feedback from him, like "you saw judge, this does not work, we need to focus on this and that". Your start to provide more information on what really matters and ease up on some wild cards. III. Comes the WOW moment like he knows the case better than yourself. Strange enough, when you come to that moment it seems like the stars align to your favor, the judge is nicer, the opposing party wants to settle etc. John is more like a doctor that cures illness that is curable and let you know if it's not. He is more like a sports coach that guides you to win a game and the opponent will respect you afterward. He is also not expensive, for all the work he does, he is underpaid. He likes his works and takes it seriously without losing the sense of being a good person.

Matt is very honest and caring. He and his firm give 100% to you and what ever your needs are.

I called John Hager for legal assistance after falling prey to an online extortion scam. John talked me through it and explained my legal options. He didn't have to do this, as I was not an official client, but he nevertheless provided his time and expertise, and put my mind at ease.

Exceptional service with an experienced lawyer. Matt and his firm not only represent many small businesses, they are prompt and courteous through the whole process. You wont be disappointed

Never answer this phone and doesn't call back
