In April of 2016, I went to court for the first (and hopefully the only) time for trial in an automotive suit. I was a young college student with no knowledge of legal practicum outside of what I’d seen on televised courtroom dramas, and a personal interest in researching major, groundbreaking cases of the past few decades to see where their historical and cultural influences stemmed from to continually saturate contemporary life. I was quite nervous and rather intimidated at the entire prospect, foreign as it was to me at the time, until I met my lawyer, Mr. John Alday. When I pictured the typical lawyer, I imagined a no-nonsense, cut-to-the-muscle businessman persona with no desire to see their clients as anything but that. Mr. Alday assuaged my fears almost instantly, as he is incredibly personable, well-educated, and a genuinely humble man with an unshakable, salt-of-the-Earth temperament. As I stated early on, I may not know much about law but I can personally attest to anyone seeking legal aid that John Alday is a judicial scalpel; no other lawyer I’ve met can not only remove what legally ails you, but leave you renewed. Mr. Alday is not only a lawyer, but a great man who would serve as an even better friend to any and all in need of help.
