By 1987 he became a shareholder, and in 1988 he and others had an amicable parting of ways with the firm to found Sellars, Marion & Bachi, P.A.

John handled a wide variety of civil litigation matters over his 37-year career. In addition to defending clients in personal injury and wrongful death actions, he also represented injured parties and devoted significant time to litigating their cases as well as other matters more contractual and commercial in nature.
