I was involved in a divorce situation and needed someone that would fight hard on behalf of good fathers. After speaking with Mr. Setlich, I felt confident that he would be able to represent me and my little girl to the best of his ability. I ended up winning the whole ordeal, and both my daughter and I are extremely grateful. He's a wonderful attorney and I'd recommend him to anyone without second guessing it.

Spoke with John today for a consultation only, he has not represented me yet. I feel he really took his time at explaining things. He was very knowledgeable, and helpful through our conversation. I didn't feel any pressure when it came to making a decision to move forward. I'm highly considering hiring him in the very near future here. Thank you again.

He was very determined from the moment we got started. Throughout the entire process, I feel he was very professional and communicative. I felt well taken care of throughout the entire custody battle. I've already recommended him to a close friend that I know is going through something similar. I hope I don't need him again in the future, but given I do I know who to call.

John Setlich is amazing!!!! Finding a great attorney is hard to come by, and I completely trust him. I needed some help with some legal problems I was involved in, and he was able to help with very short notice. The entire matter got dismissed. I feel he did a great job.

I can't speak more highly of him. I feel he was there for my family and I throughout the entire process. He was quick, and kept us well informed. He handled everything in a very timely manner. He was a five star attorney that represented us well.

It's always tough to leave a review for lawyers, I'm sure the review left is usually based on the outcome. My experience with Mr. Setlich, was a positive one. Although things were ruled mostly in my favor, I feel he was on top of things from the moment we got started. He's a great attorney, and represented me well. I'm very happy with the outcome he was able to get for me. I'd recommend him to anyone I know.

I've retained Mr. Setlich twice over the years and always felt as if I was in good hands when working with him. Whenever a situation arose, he fought hard on my behalf and always won in my favor which was always a plus. He was always on time to court appearances, always fought hard. Highly recommend him if you need a good attorney.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

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.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews
