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.

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.

I highly recommend John Hager. He handled my challenging case perfectly. He was very patient with me and always available when I needed him. His expertise and consideration for his clients is unsurpassed, and he got the outcome we were hoping for! He knew exactly what to do each time the circumstances changed. I felt comfortable knowing he was handling my case.

I would absolutely recommend to anybody that feels helpless and like their life is spiraling out of control. I have never needed a lawyer in my life and I am 36 years old. 2 weeks ago my freedom was taken from me. I had no idea what to do or what was going to happen to me. My sister who is in the legal field took it upon herself to help me by interviewing several lawyers. She immediately chose Mr. Hagar after speaking with all of them. The day that he was hired was a Sunday. After only minutes of being hired he immediately started to put a plan in play. I already felt a sense of relief. Mr. Hager even answer his phone at 10:30 at night to talk to me. He got me into the courtroom very quickly to go before the judge to try to have certain things amended. Although it was not amended that day in court only 2 Days Later while I was painting a house I got a call from Mr. Hager. This is when he informed me he has got the entire case dismissed and everything was over. I cannot be more excited to have my life back. It's done.

It was great working with Hager and Schwartz! They believe in me the minute I walked in and immediately proceeded to defend me. I am so grateful for their service and having my life! Thank you Hager & Schwartz!

This law firm is absolutely great, got my charges dropped very fast, very easy to talk to, answers all your questions, highly highly recommended

It was a pleasure working with Mr. Hager, he was promot, and on top of my case the whole time, if I had questions he had answeres. In as little as 2 months he had my case dismissed and I had my license back. Thank you John for having my back!!

This law firm I found online and since I’ve used them twice. My case was dropped. They are extremely good at what they do, exactly what you want from a lawyer. They work diligently and they show you results. I strongly recommended them, they actually care about your case and their clients and they want the best possible outcome for you. John, Brett, and staff are very kind and outgoing and also aggressive in court and when needed. 5 stars!

John Hager, yesterday demonstrated what a true professional, ethical, and incredible lawyer he is... I was facing criminal contempt of court Charges from Judge Gina Hawkins of Broward County circuitry court for Loving and protecting my children from manipulation and lies... Judge Gina Hawkins thought that her opinion was more important than the facts and was ready to place me in Broward County Jail to silence my voice and take away my rights! Well... my Avenger, John Hager Marched into her courtroom and ethically and legally defended my rights as a citizen of the United States of America and reminded Judge Gina Hawkins of proper procedure and ethics that we the people deserve! John Hager is a Star a Super hero and an Avenger! If you are every in a life or death situation and your Freedom is being threatened due to corrupt or unbiased juridical proceedings Call my SUPER Lawyer John Hager!!!!
