Best Lawyer

Mr. Sitzler gave me peace of mind from the second I stepped in his office until my ordeal of a court case was completed. He was able to get my charge amended which I was 110% satisfied with. Mr. Sitzler is an exemplary attorney who is highly experienced and knowledgeable. He saved my career and my li...fe, therefore I have already recommended others with DUI cases pending to give him a call!

South Jersey's Best DUI Attorney

John was able to plea my DUI down to a reckless with only 30 Days loss of license, despite everything you read about that not being able to happen in NJ. Very well respected by Judges and law enforcement.

You are in good hands

I faced a 3rd DUI in NJ. Even though they were spread out over nearly 20 years, laws meant to keep you in the system and draconian mandatory sentencing minimums in NJ had me facing some really harsh penalties, including 6 months in Camden County Jail. F That. So I retained John's services, who had re...presented me in previous matters and he pulled out all the stops and got that reduced to a reckless driving charge. He knows all the right people and you are in good hands with him. I am reclined on my couch typing this instead of going through Camden County Jail intake. There cannot be a more stark contrast of realities as an example of a successful defense. Retain John knowing you are making a wise choice.

denfending a dui

I met Mr. Sitzler for consultation, and liked him right away. I hired him to defend me and I was not disappointed. My DUI, refusal charges were thrown out, and only lost my license for 30 days. I would hire him again.

DUI Defense

I hired John Sitzler to represent me for a DUI, careless driving, crossing over the median and speeding offenses. John handled my case in the most professional manner that I've seen. When I arrived at court the morning of my trial, John had informed me he had some good news for me. He had already neg...otiated with the prosecutor and had my sentence reduced to reckless driving. I would recommend Mr. Sitzler to anyone requiring legal representation. The best I've seen.
