John's help provided me an excellent outcome in a very challenging case

I hired John after getting his name referred to me by several people. I was facing a pretty serious penalty since I was getting charged with a 2nd DUI within 10 years so I really wanted to make sure I hired the right person to help. He was extremely honest with me up front about expectations and wh...at the process would look like. From the start you can tell how knowledgeable he is about this process and how it all works, which helped me feel very comfortable. John know all of the steps and the ins and out to help me try and get the best outcome possible. I was nervous because the case had been open for several months, but it was only because we continued to take every step possible to ensure the best result. I was told be several lawyers that my case was an uphill battle and the likelihood of me receiving anything else but the full penalty so almost a guarantee. John never gave me false hope, but he did seem to know the most about what we needed to go to achieve the best result possible. Every penny and the time spent was worth the outcome and I sincerely appreciate his help and guidance along the way. His team was great and always got back to me quickly when I followed up with questions during the process. I would highly recommend John to anyone facing these types charges and am grateful for how things worked out.

Miracle Worker

John Sitzler has been a great friend of my family for many years and has consistently time and again not only given us the best counsel possible. His pricing is extremely fair and the value you get through his services are unparalleled. The highest percentage of knowledge, quality, and care as well a...s professionalism and execution, he will be sure to make any legal situation have the best outcome for your needs. I would trust John with my life at the drop of a dime and I do not say those words lightly. I can't possibly imagine handling any legal matter without him. Recently I was involved in a unique situation involving a motor vehicle accident and what could have been a truly tragic result in court, John was able to help me achieve a miraculous result that I wasn't 100% positive on. He completely put me and ease; as usual he was able to see things through and take care of me as he always has. John is a great friend, but above all he is without a shadow of a doubt the single most reliable, knowledgeable, and successful lawyer I have ever come across. If you are in any question of anything or in any difficult legal situation, John Sitzler is dollar for dollar the only option out there.

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.
