Hire the BEST!! He Saved My Life!

I am so grateful to have found the best defense attorney. I was arrested with a charge or endangering the welfare of a minor in a situation of no actual physical contact with said individual . I was fortunate to have found John LoTorco, an attorney who comes highly recommended, and rightfully so. Joh...n is compassionate, honest, and a straight shooter. He advised me what he thought he could do to help me. He prepared me for diffferent outcomes and of course we hoped for the best.  John felt that he could get the charges lowered to an offense that better defined my situation. He was able to get the charges dropped to Disorderly Conduct , at which time they charged me a fine and dropped the case.  In a situation that was very scary to say the least, we all should have an attorney of his capabilities . He was always kind, understanding and guided me every step of the way. His rates are reasonable as he gets the job done. If ever in need of a defense attorney, look no further than John LoTorco.

John Loturco Review

In 2021 I was arrested for an aggravated DWI. I was underage at the time and had an extremely high BAC, and hit two parked cars. I was sure that my consequences would be much greater than they ended up being. Thanks to Mr Loturco, my misdemeanor was brought down to a violation. I had one year interim... probation and 70 hours of community service. Once my probation was over, my DWI was wiped from my record completely. As a recent college graduate, Mr. Loturcos work truly saved my future. He handled everything with ease and kept me updated throughout the case. He was very understanding, and not judgmental. When I tell people of the deal I got they are astounded! Will forever be grateful to Mr Loturco and I am so glad I went to him!

Mr Loturco is the ONLY choice!

I was arrested and charged with a B felony conspiracy. My original attorney had told me that i was going to have to plead guilty to it and face 1/3 years in jail. My only option is to try and get a SHOCK program to lessen my jail time. I ended up firing him and immediately started searching for anoth...er attorney on the internet. After reviewing many attorneys resumes in my area, Mr Loturco's resume stood out from all of them. I called to set up a consultation and met him the very next day to review my case. He assured me that i was not going to go to prison and he would be "stead fast" on getting me probation. That is exactly what happene. I ended up with an E felony with the chance of it going down to a misdemeanor if i complete 1 year of probation....It is a fact that he is one of the top attorneys in New York. Hiring him was a life changing decision for me. I recommend anyone who has been arrested, especially for serious offenses to consult with and hire him. This decision could change your life the way that it did for me.

Best Criminal Attonerny in New York

In 2021 I faced what looked like a very uncertain situation I never thought I see myself in. I was charged with Class A felonies and during my booking and process, I was referred to John by another good attorney friend of mine. Before John took the case I was being held with a 1 million dollar bond. ...I was heartbroken at the thought of not being able to defend myself or see my family for something I was innocent of. During our first interview after he took the case, he had already investigated a great deal about me. His professionalism and knowledge made me feel that I was finally going to get the help I needed. Within a few days, I was out with no bond! After a few months, my case was fully dismissed. During this time. John made sure I was constantly updated on the matter even took time to call me after hours or during the weekends. I cannot say how thankful I am to John and his team.

Hiring John lo turco

I am so thankful that my family hired John LoTurco. I was charged with Operating as a Major Drug Trafficker in Suffolk County, and when my family hired John LoTurco I was in jail on $2m bail and facing 25 years-Life incarceration and a certain lengthy upstate jail sentence. John LoTurco immediately t...old me that I was over charged based upon my limited involvement in the case, and that he could file a motion to get the Major Drug Trafficking case dismissed. Mr. LoTurco and his team of attorneys at his law firm fulfilled their promise as they filed a comprehensive motion challenging the legality of my charges and the District Attorney’s Office ended up offering me a straight probation sentence and releasing me from custody. Mr. LoTurco turned down all plea offers until the District Attorney agreed to a sentence without jail. I am so thankful that I had someone like him fighting for me on my behalf. He kept me and my family informed every step of the way during the process, and I will never forget all of his efforts on my behalf. I am deeply grateful

"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"
