About John Strohmeyer:

John spent most of his first career as the Night Manager of the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin, Texas. He knew when he started there that he would be going to law school eventually, but he didn’t realize that what he learned there about taking care of clients would carry over to his legal career. After working for law firms for nearly nine years, he started Strohmeyer Law so that he could bring what he learned about client service from the Four Seasons to the legal industry. So, while his career path may have taken a detour through the Four Seasons, his goal has always been the same: take better care of individuals.
