EXEMPLARY LEGAL REPRESENTATION

I'm not sure where to begin in expressing how EXCEPTIONAL John LoTurco is as an attorney. I was caught up in a circle of LIES and was falsely accused of threatening someone's life. An order of protection and criminal harassment charges were filed against me. From the outset of my case, Mr. LoTurco ...demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, legal expertise and strategic judgment which resulted in a successful dismissal of my case. Always evident throughout the case was Mr. Loturco's professionalism and attention to detail. No stone was left unturned which resulted in a positive outcome for me. Gina Zamora, Paralegal, provided exceptional support at ALL TIMES. Ms. Zamora was highly organized, professional and paid very close attention to every detail - her consistent communication with me was absolutely invaluable. I am sincerely grateful to Mr. LoTurco and would recommend him without reservation to anyone seeking skilled, ethical and result-driven legal representation!

#1 and only choice when you need legal representation

To anyone looking for a lawyer John LoTurco is hands down the best. I have used Mr LoTurco for the past 25 years. Mr LoTurco has handled my cases & many referrals of mine. He has not only acquired the best outcomes for me but has also provided personal guidance for me in my future. He handles each c...ase personally and also in a professional manner. He makes a stressful situation as painless as possible. I would recommend Mr LoTurco & his team of lawyers & paralegals to anyone seeking the best representation. I'm not only proud to say he is my lawyer but also honored to call him my personal friend. ' Thank you John for everything '

Exceptional Representation

I had the privilege of having John LoTurco represent me during one of the most difficult times of my life. I was arrested in June of 2023, facing 14 felony charges and a domestic violence case. My case concluded in December of 2024, and thanks to Mr. LoTurco’s incredible work, I was able to achieve t...he best possible outcome. John worked closely with the District Attorney, and was able to get my domestic violence case dismissed entirely and have all 14 felony weapons possession charges reduced to a single misdemeanor of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in 4th Degree. Because I am a veteran, he also helped me get a global resolution in the Suffolk County Veteran’s Courtroom, which made a huge difference in my future. What stood out the most was how attentive, respectful, and accommodating John was throughout the entire process. He was always there to answer my questions, explain my options, and guide me through every step. Beyond just fighting for a legal resolution, he helped me get into a therapeutic program that has truly changed my life for the better. I cannot thank John LoTurco enough for his dedication and exceptional representation. If you are looking for an attorney who genuinely cares about his clients and will fight to get you the best possible outcome, I highly recommend him.

BEST. CHOICE. EVER.

I was dealing with a civil matter from something that had occurred almost thirty years ago. We all make mistakes but sex crimes carry a stigma, regardless of the circumstances. And I was losing confidence in the lawyer who was representing me at the time. My marriage and relationships were already st...rained but the outcome of this case could have seriously impacted the lives of my young children. I couldn't take any chances. I knew I needed to find a new lawyer ASAP so I did my homework to make sure that this time I had someone who was well equipped to handle a case such as this. I immediately felt a sense of relief from the very first conversation with John LoTurco . Then I went into the office to meet with him and Alex Klein. Right away I felt comfortable talking with them. Same goes for Gina and anyone else I worked with at the firm. It was such a relief to know I was finally in good hands. John and Alex made themselves available whenever I needed them, even when I just needed someone to talk me off the ledge. I trusted them innately. They assured me they would get me the best possible outcome and they certainly delivered. They promptly settled my case with a far better outcome than I could have imagined. After years of dealing with this, I couldn't believe it was finally over. There are no words to express how grateful I am.

"I have had the pleasure of working with John since our firm was fortunate enough to bring him into the fold in September of 2018. I had heard stories of the great lawyer who roamed the halls of the Suffolk County courthouses and achieved amazing results for his multitude of clients. They weren't just stories, because I have seen them for myself. I also watched in awe as judges and colleagues lauded John at the recent Suffolk County Criminal Courts Bar Association dinner, where John received the first ever 'Practitioner of the Year' award from that prestigious organization. He is a pro's pro and a tireless worker and advocate for our clients."

"John, is a smart, hared working (maybe the hardest working) lawyer and creative. He has a well deserved reputation as a highly skilled and successful trial lawyer which is why in many instances he works out a favorable resolution without the client enduring the risk and expense of a trial. But, if you need a trial, there are none better. I would hire him myself if I needed a lawyer"
