The Best. Your search is over. Hire him right now.

When we got arrested and were charged with Felony C, everyone around us said we needed the best lawyer to get out of this mess. We went to 4 other attorneys and they all said we might get some jail and they can bring charges down to a lower Felony not misdemeanor. Then we found Mr. John Loturco. The ...calmest attorney i have ever met. I can't believe how calmly he listened to us and treated us with all his attention. He gave us respect and a very fair price for his services. Other attorneys were asking for double the fee. In the end our case was over in 4 months and best of all he was able to get one us misdemeanor, one got violation and one got charges dropped. I can't thank him enough for what he has done for me and our entire family. We will remember him for the rest of our life. Thank you Mr. Lotrco.

Beyond Thankful

“You should thank your lawyer, you have a great one”, said the Judge to me. I was fortunate to receive an ACOD for multiple felony charges plus misdemeanors related to drug distribution. Prior to consulting with Mr. Loturco, many other lawyers were consulted, they all recommended a plead down approa...ch. After discussing the case with Mr. LoTurco, I knew he was the right person for representation. He took the time to explain each charge with its associated sentences and all the different approaches including all the possible outcomes. Instantly, he was hired. Mr. LoTurco was in the mindset to only settle for the best case outcome for me. Prior to the first court date, all felony charges were dropped. At the second court date, Mr. LoTurco negotiated the BEST outcome(ACOD)! John Loturco is the only lawyer that will fight for you like he is fighting for his family. I definitely and highly recommend him to anyone in legal trouble, Mr. Loturco delivers the best results that no other lawyer would be able to get.

THE BEST LAWYER! - Highly recommend

My husband was falsely accused and charged with two counts of Felony Sexual Abuse of two children. This was a horrifying nightmare as my husband was facing 50 years in jail if convicted. We were terrified and desperate and we needed the best Criminal Defense Attorney on Long Island. The first lawyer ...we went to told us our case was hopeless. The next lawyer referred us to John LoTurco based upon his long history of acquittals in these types of cases of false allegations. We are thankful to God that we found John LoTurco because he saved my husband’s life as he was acquitted after a lengthy trial in Suffolk County of all charges in October, 2019. Mr. LoTurco and his partner Aida Leisenring were highly skilled trial attorneys who worked day and night before and during the trial to make certain they were completely prepared for my husband’s defense. You can see that everyone in the courtroom highly respected Mr. LoTurco, including the judge, prosecutor and especially the jury. Both Mr. LoTurco and Ms. Leisenring’s ability to cross examine witnesses to bring out the false accusations in this case was simply remarkable. We honestly felt like they were family members standing in front of the judge and the jury fighting for us. Mr. LoTurco’s closing argument was so powerful, passionate and highly persuasive that the jury trusted his arguments that my husband was absolutely falsely accused of these horrendous allegations. Although this was the most traumatic, horrible experience anyone could possibly go through in their lives, once we heard the jury repeatedly state “not guilty”, we felt so blessed that we went to John LoTurco. We feel that John LoTurco, Aida Leisenring and their entire law office are the ones to seek out when faced with the most serious charges, and when you simply need lawyers who truly care for their clients and their families.

Totally Satisfied

John Loturco is by far the most dedicated Lawyer anyone can ask for. I had never been in trouble in my entire life and quite scared to say the least- having a 3rd degree assault charge i needed someone to help me that knew the law like no other. after being arrested the first call i made was to his o...ffice, i can honestly say that yes, Mr. Loturco is stern but for good reasons, very dedicated to the case leaves no stone un-turned , always made me feel comfortable from day one. works extremely hard for you and in the end- had all my charges dropped. If you are looking for a great Lawyer - John Loturco is the one.

Highly recommend him to anyone. The best on L.I <3 <3

I'm writing the review because I would like others to know what an incredibly skilled, dedicated, hardworking and successful attorney John is for his clients. John represented me on a major drug trafficking charge. His skill, understanding of the law and expertise resulted in no jail time. His rese...arch and defense established a weakness of the prosecutor's case the resulted in a sentence of only probation. I also had an extremely high bail due to my drug trafficking charge and John was able to get that significantly reduced and later exonerated. In addition, due to the charges, CPS became involved in my case and John was able to assist me in reconnecting with my child. John never waivers. he works diligently on your case ( as if you were a family member), he has impeccable integrity, respect for you as his client and is extremely hard working and caring. He always responds to your calls, is honest and upfront with you regarding your situation, he's very professional and has a unique understanding of all aspects of the law and court system. He has valuable connections and an outstanding reputation which helps tremendously, in your favor, in the court room. John has been instrumental in helping me put the pieces of my life back together, so I could have the opportunity to be the mother that my child needs and the person who I'm proud to have become. John's understanding, encouragement and support in the most terrifying time in my life ( and that of my child's life), will never be forgotten. Words cannot express my gratitude and high regard for not only the unbelievably skilled attorney John is, but also th the extraordinary person he truly personifies Very truly yours, Joann F.

"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"
