“John was the rst lawyer I ever saw do a trial in the High Court. After the trial was over, he pulled me aside and said, ‘Young man, you see what you saw in there? Do not follow me. I’m old and they let me get away with that shit. Don’t YOU start your career doing those things’ and he chuckled and walked away.” - Jarid Hewlett

“When I began practicing, I would often see John in court, advocating with the same fervency and charm as I had witnessed during my internship years before.

His o the cu but knowledgeable style of advocacy was magic to watch.” - Amaya Gilkes
