I gave him an average rating only because he did get the job done after months and months of back n forth emails and a lot of ignoring my emails, if he didn't know what I meant in my emails he would just ignore them instead of asking me, seems like he procrastinated a lot... But at the end he did get my case handled except at the end I had to beg for my remaining retainer back, I seen a disciplinary board online about him which I still took my chances with him being he was one of the cheapest attorneys around... But take this review as you will and make your own choice on hiring mr. john foster...!

I hired John for a landlord-tenant dispute. I had a consultation with him, he was VERY knowledgeable and gave me a lot of information and answered all my questions. I had a long list of lawyers I was going to contact for a consultation, but I went no further than John Foster! I retained him for my matter, he was affordable, and definitely exceeded my expectations, and continues to do so! He is very pleasant to work with, and is timely in his responses. I never have to worry about waiting for him to get back to me, because he always does right away. I would rate him 10/10 and if you are searching for a lawyer, I would suggest him being your first call, because you do not have to look any further to get the knowledge and questions answered on your matter.
Thank you John and I will definitely suggest you to ANYONE I know who needs legal help!!

John responds quickly and is attentive to what his clients needs and priorities are. He is realistic and open with his clients and works hard to ensure they feel represented. I appreciate his help and support throughout the process and working with him.

I have spent the better part of of 2020 having Attorney John Foster at my disposal for my divorce. John called me on New Years Eve and actually met me on New Years Day for a consultation. I was very impressed with his kindness and knowledge. He helped me through a very difficult time. Several months later I called him for some advice and without hesitation he called me right back. John guided me down the right path and spent an hour and a half on the phone with me. He did not ask for anything in return. I can’t say that another attorney would ever do that. Any time I have needed him he has always pulled through, morning noon or night. John’s rates are far better than any attorney I have dealt with and it’s been a pleasure getting to know him personally and professionally. You would be foolish not to contact him first instead of the “bigger” firms. What you get is a more personal experience, one that I am truly grateful for. Thank you John

I have been working with John on my divorce for a year now. He has always been prompt with calling back, within no more than 3 business days. As this is my first, and hopefully last divorce, I have never been through the process so really have no clue how it works. John has taken time to answer all my questions and give me clear explanations of every step and option along the way. My ex has been practically completely unresponsive but John has continually filed all documents to move my divorce along as quickly as possible. He is very knowledgeable of the process and isn’t afraid to push when necessary, while covering all bases, but will also move at your desired pace (as allows). I would highly recommend John if you you find yourself in this position and need of legal consult or representation.

Mr. John Foster was referred to us. We hired him once our daughter was found in contempt not following a Court Order we had in place for Sunday visitation with our 10 year old granddaughter whom we raised for the first 8 years. Albeit, I always had a passion to be a Lawyer. I knew I needed his expertise in the upcoming motion. He was very informative, prompt in getting back to us and a very assertive good Lawyer. Being the persistent woman that I am, he was very patient with me. I would highly recommend John to anyone in the need of a Extraordinary Lawyer.

John handled a custody case for our family. He was very reliable and always returned our phone calls and emails. He even worked with our issues over the holidays. It gave us a sense of security to know that we could depend on him to work in our favor. We plan on keeping John as our family attorney for our future needs. No matter how busy he was he always made time for us.

I have worked with a number of attorneys throughout my divorce process. The experience was an arduous and difficult one until I came to hire John Foster. I cannot state enough positive words about John Foster.
John was actually the fourth attorney that I worked with to attempt to resolve a myriad of issues associated with my divorce (custody, relocation, child support, divorce filings, a spousal support suite against me, and avoiding the foreclosure on my home that my ex-husband was attempting to force). John is the only one that I've felt the need to take the time to write a review for. John was the only attorney to bring ANY of these matters to a close - in fact, he personally resolved all of them!
I believe that anyone searching for an attorney should learn from my experience.
Each and every step of the way, my ex husband presented as many challenges as he could. Not each attorney could handle it. The first accepted every chance to drag it out (despite their being so many issues & my very limited financial resources) and to increase his overall fees. The second let my ex-husband know about mistakes on his end - which he (of course) then did not repeat, which in the end put my daughter's best interests at jeapordy. He also had to research every question and issue due to lack of expertise, which at times negatively impacted the outcome of my proceedings. The third quite simply could not handle the challenging, combative nature of my ex-husband. Moreover, she was worse than the second attorney in that she did not even know where to go for the information that she needed in order to adequately represent & counsel me!
John Foster, however, has absolutely stood alone as the only attorney who was ALWAYS at the ready for ANY challenge presented to him. He can truly handle anything that is thrown at him, and he does so with truly seasoned expertise. The law is written in his mind, and he is able to quickly reference it to provide immediate expert advise to to challenge those who may attempt to infringe upon your entitlements or rights. If you are trying to determine how to proceed on a matter, he can immediately advise you on all options, as well as their short and long term impact to you. If you are sued, he immediately springs into action, presents the possible outcomes to you, steps to take, and represents you with power and strength in court.
Moreover, John does not extend matters to benefit himself, as one of my previous attorneys did to me. He has his clients' best interests at heart, and unlike other attorneys that I hired during this process, he is absolutely more than honest and fair as far as billing hours and rates are concerned - he is often gracious. He appears to consider himself a civil servant, and the reward is not entirely financial for him - ultimately, he just wants to help you.
It is rare that I take the time to write a review, but in the case of John Foster, he has impacted both my life and that of my child so dramatically that I feel that a review is not only deserved, it is necessary. I would highly recommend to anyone seeking an attorney that they strongly consider choosing John Foster.
