Review

John LoTurco’s reputation to win cases and receive the best plea bargains is remarkable. He saved me from having a criminal record on serious cases. I had a felony drug case where the police pulled me over in my driveway and searched my vehicle. John LoTurco was able to obtain a violation plea on my ...behalf after establishing the lack of credibility of those police officers for lack of probable cause for stopping and searching my vehicle. I have had other criminal charges that were either dismissed or reduced to violations due to John LoTurco’s skilled negotiations tactics and connections to the District Attorney’s Office and the judges. I always recommend anyone who finds themselves on the wrong side of the law to use the outstanding services of John LoTurco. He has earned legendary status.

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!!!!!!!

Great Attorney

Mr Lorturco is one of the best lawyers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He was able to get me a deal of a lifetime that I don’t think would have been possible with any other attorney. He always gets back to you in a timely manner and his prices are as fair as they come. Would recommend t...o anyone.

John LoTurco was my guardian angel

I was charged with leaving the scene of an accident in Suffolk County. During the arrest the young police officer was extremely intimidating , aggressive and threatening. I was only 17 at the time and extremely concerned that I was going to have a criminal record, lose my license, go to jail or have ...probation. The occupants in the vehicle that I struck falsely claimed that they were seriously injured and filed a lawsuit when it reality it was a minor parking lot accident and I simply panicked and fled the scene. Thank god my mother knew of John LoTurco because she called him immediately, and he actually came to the arrest scene, and intervened on my behalf and convinced the officer to give me a desk appearance ticket. When we went to court it was obvious that John LoTurco was highly respected by both the Judge and the prosecutor and actually everyone in the courtroom including the court officers, clerks and other criminal defense attorneys. My criminal case was eventually dismissed completely and John LoTurco was also able to provide all necessary information to my insurance company and the false personal injury claim was also dismissed. In short, John LoTurco was my guardian angel that night and I will forever be grateful to him and the legal service he provided to me and my family.

"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."

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."
