He has tried dozens of cases for plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal courts and in front of judges, juries, and binding arbitration panels. To date, he has won 25 of the last 27 cases he has tried. Although most of his trials have been on the defense, John has four 7-and 8-figure plaintiffs verdicts. He practices throughout the U.S. and, in addition to substantial work in California (he is the leader of the firm’s litigation practice group in San Francisco) and elsewhere, he heads the firm’s Nevada practice (where he has tried—and won—six cases to verdict). John joined what is now Schiff Hardin’s San Francisco office in 1989. He served as the San Francisco predecessor’s managing partner.
