All charges dismissed

I was charged with a serious sex crime that was not only humiliating, but if convicted it would have essentially ruined my life. Although I was fired from my job, at least now I am not going to be convicted of a sex crime, and I will not have a criminal record because of John LoTurco’s representation... and ability to find a loophole in the case to get it dismissed. I can now find secure employment to support my family. Mr. LoTurco was able to get my case dismissed so quickly that he even waived the balance of my legal fee because he knew I lost my job, and I needed the money to take care of my family until I turned my life around. I am forever indebted to John LoTurco. I absolutely recommend John LoTurco and his law firm to anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney in New York!

Man of his Word!

I was charged with a criminal offense that was totally BS. I was referred to Mr. LoTurco by my mother who had him represent her in another matter. When I tell you that from beginning to end he outlined every which way my case could go and it went exactly how he stated. His demeanor and energy on ...my situation made it so much easier to let down my guard, learn to relax, and most importantly have complete trust and faith in him that he would pull through and win my case. Non the less, Mr. Loturco did exactly what he said he would do. He worked effortlessly to gather information to aide my case and convince the court that I wasn't the man that I was accused of being. Mr. Loturco definitely took his time to get to know me and everything he asked of me I provided, which helped develop his own opinion of me. Now seeing for himself the amount of stress and anxiety this case was causing not just for me but for my family as well he advised the best course of action, consulted with me to make sure I was in agreement and executed his plan efficiently. His knowledge and reputation is unmatched. Not only did he get my charge lowered from a criminal offense to a non criminal offense, but most importantly he did not allow an innocent Black husband and father of 4 to be wrongfully convicted. I am forever in his debt for keeping my freedom and allowing me to remain with my family. Mr. LoTurco is definitely a man of his word and I would recommend him to everyone in the world that’s needs a GREAT defense attorney.

Not Guilty on All Charges After Trial

Hearing the jury repeatedly state “not guilty” provided me complete relief and total vindication. I am so thankful that I hired John LoTurco to defend me from these overzealous DWI charges as he skillfully and artfully demonstrated to the jury that the police officers’ testimony was exaggerated, inco...nsistent and unworthy of belief. John LoTurco’s cross-examination of the officers was masterful and comprehensive. I truly appreciated how hard he worked throughout my trial as he would regularly stay up until 2-3am preparing for the case and worked throughout the weekends including asking me questions. His work ethic and commitment to my defense was unwavering. As a United States Veteran of Armed Conflicts, John LoTurco is the type of character that I would want to have in my foxhole. He is loyal, and he will fight the battle until the bitter end. Whenever you are charged with a crime, I would highly recommend that you hire this courtroom warrior. He was recommended to me by my family member who was a prosecutor who apparently LoTurco had defeated in a sex case in a similar fashion as my case. The choice is simple, put your trust in John LoTurco.

The best criminal lawyer in Long Island NY

I don’t know how to thank John enough, I am so grateful for the service he provided. When I contacted John he was in a flight on vacation with his family and he still responded to my calls. Not only was he so attentive but also understanding of the situation. John got in contact with his team and put... them to work on my son case right away (awesome team as well) John was able to prove the misunderstanding and today my son walks out with a clean record. Thank you John

John LoTurco is Mister Peace-of-Mind!

I had to consult Mr. LoTurco on a most sensitive matter that deeply concerned me regarding a alleged personal assault, being falsely accused. He took this concern of mine and turned it into serious action on his part, completely defusing the situation in a most skillful, sensitive way! Some may say h...e's as good as it gets, but I would say FAR MORE than that! I recommend him, knowing that if you consult with or hire him you will have the best and most confident attention possible! He saved me from untold grief and anxiety!

"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."
