For over 38 years, John has been a Tampa-based lawyer in private practice, focused primarily on the representation of financial institutions, medical malpractice law firms, and other sophisticated creditors. With undergraduate and law degrees from Georgetown University, John spent the majority of his career at a large law firm, serving as a Creditors’ Rights department chairman from 1993 through 2009. In the face of the Great Recession, John joined with his wife Stephenie Anthony to found A&P to better serve financial institutions and other creditors dealing with insolvency scenarios.

John’s practice focuses on loan enforcement, chapter 11, debt restructure, avoidance litigation, complex judgment collection, lender liability, disputes involving fraudulent transfers and successor liability, and related complex litigation throughout the State of Florida. John’s bankruptcy practice focuses on representation of financial institutions and mass tort consortiums in all districts and divisions of Florida, as well as other states. The largest and most prominent personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, and other plaintiffs' firms routinely look to A&P to collect their judgments, negotiate complex settlements, handle their appeals, and negotiate through the vagaries of chapter 11. As of the present date, A&P serves as appellate, bankruptcy, or judgment enforcement co-counsel with nearly 200 medical malpractice lawyers throughout the United States. Our clients' claims range from over $390 Million to under $100,000. Regardless of size or venue, A&P efficiently responds to client needs in a practical and result-oriented manner.
