Working with so many people, made me more aware of human nature, he says. Was it his keen observation of his costumers, as a supermarket cashier, or just a gift he was born with? Nobody knows.

His clients are some of the most famous movie stars and some of his cases would make the headlines of many newspapers. But the secret is a good part of the business as he admits. He claims that justice is his main ambition. His earliest memories are of injustices, possibly because he grew up in a big city where social problems are your neighbours. John still wishes he could make the world a better place, so his biggest dream is to study law and one day become a lawyer: So that my children won t have to live with the same problems as I did.
