Phenomenal Attorney.

John Sitzler reclaimed my life. I was facing up to 20 years for 2 deaths in an auto accident that wasn't my fault. Because of the presence of THC was in my blood, I was charged with DUI and 2 counts of Vehicular Homicide. It took some time, but John knew exactly how to approach this case with the utm...ost care. He presented the facts the way they were meant to be displayed. He showed that a possible mechanical failure could have been the cause, or it could have been medical. There was under no circumstances a time during my trial, where I had thought he could have done better. I was found "Not Guilty" by a jury. With every thought that runs through your mind about anything tangible about your case, John most likely has already thought of it, and he'll make it known. I recommend John Sitzler in any and all cases. He's got you. You're in good hands.

Phenomenal - Exemplary - Accomplished

I hired John Sitzler to represent my son who was facing up to 20 years for vehicular homicide that had resulted in 2 unfortunate deaths. Although the cause of the accident could not be pinpointed to a specific mechanical malfunction or medical episode, the authorities were determined to convict on a ...minimal presence of THC in blood from prior use. His communication, analytical, and research skills are beyond comparison. His trial demeanor is poetic, and his ability to convey the facts, as well as portray all possibilities of the aspects of the case, is/was outstanding. I consider him a true gentleman, a class act, an empathetic listener and someone who goes above and beyond in his service to his clients. I refer any/all family and friends to Mr. Sitzler if, or when, they are in need of competent, effective counsel. I'm confident that they would never be disappointed. Although I hope not to require his services anytime real soon, I consider him my (and my family's) attorney for life.

Thank you Mr Sitzler

Unfortunately I received my first ever DUI charge after being involved in a minor single vehicle accident. I was evaluated on scene then taken in for further evaluation where my BAC reading was considered very high (more than 2x the legal limit). Being a class A CDL (commercial drivers license) hol...der, I thought all was lost as I use my license every day for work. I made an appointment with Mr Sitzler for a consultation on the recommendation from a friend. Based on the consultation, I hired Mr Sitzler. Best decision I could have made. Mr Sitzler was honest and professional. He used his many years of experience and his vast knowledge of the NJ DUI laws to provide me with the best possible outcome I could've hoped for I put Mr Sitzler at the top of the list of lawyers in the area for DUI defense. Thank you again Mr Sitzler.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
