BEST. CHOICE. EVER.

I was dealing with a civil matter from something that had occurred almost thirty years ago. We all make mistakes but sex crimes carry a stigma, regardless of the circumstances. And I was losing confidence in the lawyer who was representing me at the time. My marriage and relationships were already st...rained but the outcome of this case could have seriously impacted the lives of my young children. I couldn't take any chances. I knew I needed to find a new lawyer ASAP so I did my homework to make sure that this time I had someone who was well equipped to handle a case such as this. I immediately felt a sense of relief from the very first conversation with John LoTurco . Then I went into the office to meet with him and Alex Klein. Right away I felt comfortable talking with them. Same goes for Gina and anyone else I worked with at the firm. It was such a relief to know I was finally in good hands. John and Alex made themselves available whenever I needed them, even when I just needed someone to talk me off the ledge. I trusted them innately. They assured me they would get me the best possible outcome and they certainly delivered. They promptly settled my case with a far better outcome than I could have imagined. After years of dealing with this, I couldn't believe it was finally over. There are no words to express how grateful I am.

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.

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.

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"
