John holds B.A. and J.D. degrees. He is a member of the Canadian Bar Association, The Advocates' Society, the Ontario Expropriation Association, the Canadian Finance & Leasing Association, and a past chair and past board member of the United Way of Peel Region. And, of course, he is a member of the Peel Law Association.

Anne Kennedy, a former managing partner of the firm, currently Partner of Risk and Practice Management, and recipient of the PLA's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023 says:

"It has been one of the great pleasures of my career to have worked with John for the past 26 years. When he first joined Pallett Valo, he immediately impressed me with his solid instincts, strong work ethic, and ability to put people at ease. John is a very effective litigator who navigates the often-fractious environment of commercial litigation with respect and courtesy toward all. Based on my knowledge of John and his approach to the practice of law, I don't think the Peel Law Association could have made a better choice for its inaugural Civility Award. I think I speak for all of us at Pallett Valo when I say that we could not be prouder of our managing partner."
