John worked diligently and quickly to resolve our case successfully. He got our case resolved in record time, and surpassed any expectations I had. I am truly impressed by his efficiency and his care that he takes with his clients. He answered all of our many questions and kept us calm throughout a turbulent time. He attended to the specific details of our case, treating us with respect and sympathy. You would have a very difficult time finding someone else with John’s character, knowledge, and experience. 10/10 I would recommend it them anyone. Thank you very much John!

— Janet Ramirez

My daughter had a criminal case that was handled by John Hager. He was sharp and on the spot and made our family feel comfortable. He got right to work late at night on a weekend holiday and dealt with the matter. Mr. Hager kept us updated on the case the entire time and stayed fighting. Ultimately we got a victory and the case was dismissed. Trust me the money was well spent and if you want to win then pay and choose Hager & Schwartz. Wonderful law firm and I will be contacting them if I ever need them again. Thank you very much for representing my family. We appreciate you. Staff was informational. Helpful. It was quick and honestly the best experience you could have considering the situation.
