Posted by anonymous | August 10, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Thank you John

I received 4 tickets which included a DUI. He was able to get 3 of them dropped and only a reckless driving was convicted. The fine was $226 with no surcharge and only 30 days loss of license. He saved me a minimum of $5000 additional costs for surcharges, fines, and missed days of work for require...d classes. I don't normally drink alcohol, so he saved me from paying dearly for a one time bad judgement call. He has represented my wife and my son on different occasions and lowered their charges and penalties as well. We hope to never have to see his face again as long as we live, but will not hesitate to use his services in the future as long as he is still practicing law. My family thanks you for your knowledge of the law and your help John. Sincerely, Michael S

A professional and fierce advocate, Mr. Sitzler stands out among other Attorneys

Let me start by saying, I am an Attorney and I know how important it is to have a good lawyer. That is why I recently hired Mr. Sitzler to represent me in a personal matter. I was charged with an offense that Mr. Sitzler did a stellar job in resolving. Because of his outstanding legal work and experi...ence, he came highly recommended by a number of other lawyers. From the moment I met him, through the resolution of the case, Mr. Sitzler was extremely professional, accommodating and knowledgeable. His office staff is helpful and polite. He demonstrated a career's worth of experience in navigating my matter to a resolution I am sure few could accomplish. When a doctor is hurt, they know who the good doctors are and that's who they go to for help. The same applies in the legal profession. John Sitzler is the lawyer that other lawyers go to when they need representation. That speaks volumes of his ability. I cannot say enough what a great attorney he is or how strongly I recommend you hire him if you or a family member are in need of traffic/municipal/criminal/civil legal representation. Simply put, he is one of the best Attorney's I have ever met. He takes pride in helping people and it shows in the quality of his work. Thank you Mr. Sitzler!!

A real professional

From my 1st call to John's office to schedule a consultation, his staff made me feel comfortable and in good hands. I was able to meet with John the next day, he thoroughly reviewed the details of my case and offered his opinion and plan of attack using his many years of experience in similar matters.... All correspondence was timely and effective, his staff followed up to confirm dates and he provided great representation at all court appearances. I was very pleased with his support and the results he was able to obtain for me. John is a no nonsense, highly experienced lawyer and litigator and you will be happy with the results he can achieve for you at a time when you really need help.

You get what you pay for...

John is a professional upstanding guy. He's a straight shooter and doesn't bullshit you about your case. I've hired him several times for various situations and every single time he exceeded my expectations. I've sent every family member and friend to him, he always treats you with respect and non-ju...dgmental attitude.

Weak, passive and all around unresponsive

Stitzler represented my father who made an impulsive decision to hire him without consultation with anyone. Stitzler took advantage of my father and resented any contact with those family members who were more knowledgeable of the system. He wasn't responsive throughout proceedings or even after the... clients death when he failed to file paperwork to release a property lien. Do not hire this guy. He's only out to make quick cash - not handle criminal matters professionally.

Replied last July 12, 2016

I would like to thank AVVO for allowing me to respond to the negative review recently posted by the family member of a former client. Let me begin by offering my sincere condolences for the loss of her father. Her father, my client, came to me in 2011 after being charged with first degree sex crimes against another underage family member. He was facing 20 years in a New Jersey State Prison. I was able to have that time reduced to 3 years. How is this taking advantage of someone? Similarly, those family members “who had more knowledge of the system,” was in fact the AVVO complainant who worked as the functional equivalent of a police officer, not an attorney. The party that submitted the review was not my client but rather His daughter. In fact she made a statement against her father, and was listed as a witness for the State. She told the police that she believed that her father had sexually violated this underage family member. How can this person claim that I was weak and ineffective when my client was facing 20 years in State Prison and I got him 3 years? Additionally, the lien remained on the property, not because I failed to file paperwork, but because she failed to pay a $20 fee to have it removed. For those of you who have taken the time to read this response, please visit my website at www.sitzlerlaw.com and read the many unsolicited testimonials of former clients attesting to the great, and in many cases, life changing legal representation provided to them by me and all of the members of my team.
