Friendliness. Professionalism was honest n fun. He smiles a lot n that eased my anxiety. I'm not a person that ever gets into trouble n I have never had a speeding ticket until St Trooper Wooten pulled me over in an inappropriately marked school zone. I was looking for an attorney that could help me get the school zone sign moved n was referred to John Stobaugh. I saw an attorney n I just knew it was him. He didn't look intimidating, but looked very kind. He is very kind. He had my situation w the prosecutor at an agreement before court started. I will never use another attorney when in need. He is my go to guy n if yall should find yourself needing an attorney, JOHN STOBAUGH IS ZR GUY!! I will say something that I found hilarious n thought, yep he knows me to well already. Court was about to start n he said I would be called first. From his chair at the defendants side, I was sitting in the front row n he looked at me n I read his lips say he will do the talking.. lol.. ok, I thought he knows I will speak up if somethings not right.. but I stayed quiet n the judge was kind. But John Stobaugh made my day so easy. I will always n forever recommend John Stobaugh to anyone that needs an awesome attorney!! U ROCK, JOHN STOBAUGH.. ppl will have your name on their lips from this day forward!
