Testimonials
This page reflects the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of former clients, clients’ loved ones, and other attorneys. Readers should not take these testimonials as a promise or guarantee that John will achieve the same or similar results. Every case is different and no lawyer, including John, can promise any particular outcome. While John is an experienced trial attorney, in many cases it is in the client’s best interest to resolve the case for a deal short of trial. By hiring John, you are doing so for his experience, knowhow, and straightforward advice. Individual cases call for case-specific advice, which may or may not be consistent with these experiences.
“Cuando me arrestaron, pensé que iba a pasar los siguientes 30 años de mi vida en la cárcel. Me preocupaba tener un defensor público por las información que otras personas me habían dicho. Pero luego vi a John en la corte. Pensé que era uno de los mejores y tenía razón. Ahora soy un hombre libre después de llegar a un acuerdo por solo tres años de libertad condicional y pasar solo unos dias en la carcel. Le debo mi vida a John.”
“When I got arrested, I thought I was going to spend the next 30 years of my life behind bars. I was worried about having a public defender based on what other people had told me. But then I saw John in court. I thought he was one of the best and I was right. Now, I am a free man after working out a deal for only three years of probation and spending only a few days in jail. I owe my life to John.”

“I had the privilege of working with Mr. Nohlgren as my attorney, and I couldn't be more grateful for his exceptional services. John's guidance throughout the court process was invaluable. John took the time to explain all my options thoroughly, ensuring that I understood every step of the way. What truly stood out was his attentiveness to all my questions and concerns. His patience and willingness to address my inquiries provided me with peace of mind throughout the entire judicial process, and while being incarcerated.

I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking legal assistance. Thanks again, John!”

“In 2017, I was representing a young man accused of First-Degree Murder. Due to the young man’s intellectual deficiencies, I knew that he would not be able to provide much assistance in his defense. Even though John had not been a Public Defender as long as some other lawyers, he had developed a reputation for pursuing any and every available defense. He had a reputation of working defenses tirelessly and completely. I also knew that the case involved a lot of technological issues, including cell phone location data and records. John was instrumental in scrutinizing the technological issues to fortify our defense. The case went to a jury trial. That young man is now walking free. If you’d like to know more about how we pulled it off, call John.”

“If you or a loved one find yourselves entangled in a legal battle for your life, you won't just need a lawyer who "knows" the court system inside out. You're going to need the finesse of a seasoned attorney like John, who knows all of the shortcuts amplified with the know-how to use them strategically.
We are so beyond lucky and infinitely thankful to have found John at this crucial time. He was the beacon of hope that saved my friend from the systemically corrupt abyss of this so-called 'reformative' legal hell. If you ever find yourself in a similar nightmare, count your lucky stars to have John Nohlgren by your side.
Thank you, thank you again, John! You are the best.”

"I have known John for many years. I had the pleasure of trying many interesting cases with him while at the Public Defender's Office. He is hard working and passionate, and is also possibly one of the most creative trial attorneys witnessed. All of John's clients should consider themselves very lucky to have him in their corner."
Nicholas Robinson, Attorney-
"Mr. Nohlgren is a hard working, thorough attorney and an excellent trial lawyer. He has successfully represented adults and juveniles in a wide variety of criminal cases ranging from minor traffic infractions to first degree felonies. I readily endorse his work."
Sara Mieczkowski, Attorney-
"John Nohlgren is an amazingly well rounded attorney who is as passionate at researching obscure legal precedent as he is at arguing his case at trial. He is a hard working and creative attorney who genuinely wants to win for his client. If I were charged with a crime this is the attorney that I would hire to represent me."
