Outstanding lawyer! Such a unexpectedly smooth process

I’m so thankful that I was recommended to John LoTurco by a close friend. I was charged with an Aggravated Driving While Intoxicated with a high blood alcohol level after making a foolish mistake which was completely out of character for me. I have never been arrested for anything, and I desperately ...needed an outstanding attorney. I certainly found what I needed from John LoTurco. Mr. LoTurco, through his efforts, connections and guidance, was able to secure me a non-criminal disposition so I can avoid having a criminal record. He told me what I needed to do to put himself in a better position to negotiate the most lenient disposition possible on my behalf. From the day that I met John LoTurco I was completely confident that my case would be handled professionally and competently and that is exactly what occurred. I give John LoTurco my highest recommendation, and I would encourage anyone who is arrested for a criminal charge to hire him because he is a zealous advocate for his clients.

If you need a lawyer he's the ONLY one!!!!

I can't thank John enough for what he did for me. After getting arrested for DWI I thought my life was ruined. With John's help he was able to get the conviction brought down to a violation. Fortunately, I have not had to deal with too many lawyers in my life but from here on out he will be the only ...one for me. His professionalism is second to none. He was always in touch with me every step of the way. I felt he was able to take the dark cloud that was hanging over my head away. When I share my experiences with others they say "You had a great lawyer". You ain't kidding!!!!!!!

THE BEST

John LoTurco has help me for several criminal cases, assaults, DWI, Traffic violations and more. The outcome of every case as far surpassed my expectations. I was charged with several felonies and facing jail time. Because of John’s knowledge, experience and through understanding of the law, every ...charge was reduced to a violation or misdemeanors and I received only community service. Other cases were dropped down to just fines. John LoTucro helped give me second and third chances to straighten out my life. Now I’m a successful business owner who was going down the wrong path as a young man. He showed me that it’s easier to be a valuable law-abiding citizen, and that there was more to life. I dedicate part of my success to him. I couldn’t have achieved what I have now behind bars. His professionalism in and out of the court room, as well as his aggressive representation in my cases is why we achieved the unbelievable results in my cases. John LoTurco has an outstanding reputation in the Long Island Criminal Court System and is highly respected Criminal Defense Attorney. Just ask any police officer you encounter, he was my first and only call.

All charges dropped

Our 23 yo son was being convicted of a DWI, he was stopped at a light and was being pulled over because his vehicle tire was slightly over the white stop line He was then requested to blow into a breathalyzer, my son exercised his right and refused, and was then told at that point he was being arres...ted.Our Lawyer at the time was clearly only interested in money , he told us to plead guilty and take jail time! no other conversation! Out of shear terror for our sons future, we researched everyone! A very good friend of ours highly recommended Mr. John Loturco, she told us of her outstanding success of a much more severe case! Upon our family meeting (which he suggested) I felt extremely hopeful , due to his professionalism, he took his time explaining our specific situation and how the law applies and brought to light our legal rights (which was never even a conversation with our prior lawyer!) Leaving the office that day we all felt we were in the utmost professional hands, every step of the way was handled professionally, I cant state that enough! This outcome was my sons future! Mr.Loturco was very aggressive in representing and defending my sons legal rights!!! a clear display of excellence and putting the prosecution in its place of absolute wrong! Being in the courtroom that day was terrifying !knowing that we had a well respected attorney ( which was obvious in the courtroom)is the reason my sons rights were defended , protected to the utmost. Mr.Loturco is a highly respected criminal defense attorney, with an outstanding reputation in the Long Island criminal court system. My son and our family, very gratefully thank him! ALL CHARGES DROPPED!

"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"

"I have worked with John Loturco over the past 18 years, particularly when I was an Assistant District Attorney in the Suffolk District Attorney's office. John Loturco is well known for being one of the most qualified criminal defense attorney's in the industry. I recently referred a case to him and heard that he on an acquittal. I highly recommend John Loturco for your criminal matter."
