Acquitted of All Charges

I was charged with sexual abuse of a minor. As you can imagine, this allegation had serious impacts on the life of my family, myself, my businesses; with the potential of jail time and the requirement to register myself and my dwelling as a sexual predator for the rest of my natural life looming, I w...as in a very desperate situation. I also had to deal with the social stigma that goes along with this type of accusation, both in the court of public opinion and selection of a jury for criminal court. If convicted... I don't ever want to go there in my mind ever again. Very scary stuff, but worse, a very lonely situation to be in; you can't help but live in hopeless despair, which seems to never go away. All while the frustration grows with within you toward the accuser and the legal system. The frustration knowing that if there was an actual investigation, of facts, performed, before charging you with a crime, there would be no charges. You helplessly watch as they seem to be more interested in media sensationalism, and the attention given to their department, rather than the actual facts of matter. It is a very lonely and desperate place to be and not to have a voice or means to fight back is one of the worst feeling a person could have. Then I met John Loturco. I could go on about how brilliant and skilled of a litigator John is, and he is, but you will see it for yourself the moment you meet him and when you watch the way he maneuvers through cross examinations of detectives and witnesses. I remember it was like watching an artist chisel out features from a ridged stone, never knowing what the next piece would reveal. The prosecuting team, the judge, myself, and jury were all spectator in this artistry and waited in quite anticipation of what he was going to say next. His calm but serous nature resonates with both judges and juries and it was quite amazing to watch him operate and control that courtroom. John's skill in the courtroom is very important, and before meeting with John, I knew he was a great attorney, from reputation alone; what I didn't know was the man. What I found to be most important, and what meant the most for me, was that he listened. He heard what I was saying and saw the injustice in what was being done to me. He became my voice. He fought the fight I wanted to fight but couldn't. His commitment to make sure the truth was told never wavered. When John represented me, I felt as if there was a family member standing in front of a judge and jury of my peers, vigorously presenting the facts of the case, like no one other than he could; because he actually cared. He didn't just care about a win for his books but about me, my life, my future, my family. He took this (my) burden home with him each night and woke, if he ever slept, to fight even harder the next day. That's the man, the man I grew to admire and respect. The man who sacrificed time with his own family to save mine. John has a unique ability to connect with the jury and is an amazing litigator but you would be hard pressed to find a better man. I hope no one ever has to go through what my family and I went through, but the reality is, it will happen again to another. What I can tell you is John was there for me and my family, he answered every question I had, he consoled my family members, he basically became family, always returned my calls, he and his staff constantly communicated with me, and he dedicated himself to giving me the highest level of legal representation I could have ever imagined. Who knows where my life would be right now if he hadn't become part of it, but I am thankful for it every day that we found him. As far as I'm concerned, they is no other choice if your, or someone you care about, life is in legal jeopardy.

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!

Great Lawyer, Great Man

My story is long. I'll try to be brief. I was falsely accused of a sex crime. After interviewing 5 attorneys, including somebody who's reputed to be the best, it was clear I needed to hire John. I'm so glad I did! John was 100% on my side. His knowledge of the law and his advice we're right ...on the money and I can't imagine anybody being more adept at cross examination. Within 3 minutes he exposed the complaining witness as a liar. Later on in the prosecutions case he exposed their " star" witness as a liar. His cross was so good we decided not to even call many of our witnesses. At one point in the trial I just had to tell his family how brilliant he was during cross. At cross he even exposed the police as not believing the charge! It was obvious after 30 minutes of deliberation that I'd be fully acquitted, which I was. John is extremely professional and extremely reliable. In my opinion you'd be crazy not to hire him.

Criminal Defense Attorney

We chose John LoTurco because he came recommended by a family member. He certainly didn't disappoint. John has an outstanding reputation in the criminal court system and is a highly respected criminal defense attorney. Unfortunately for me, I had two boys in need of aggressive representation in ord...er to receive favorable dispositions. Each of them faced serious misdemeanor and felony drug charges. One even had a robbery charge that would have severely impacted his future. Fortunately for me, and my sons, John was able to secure very favorable results with no criminal record! Not only was John extremely professional, he was compassionate, supportive and took the extra time to counsel my sons regarding the repercussions of risky behavior. I highly recommend Mr. John LoTurco if you are in need of a professional, aggressive, attentive attorney.
