Motor vehicle accident

Excellent lawyer. Affirmative and straight to the point!! I visited with him today, and upon the completion of our visit I told him that he was the man!! This is my fourth time hiring him to represent me, and if I need to retain an accident lawyer John Critzos it will be!!!

Outstanding Service

I hired Mr. Critzos after I had my first car accident. I did not know what to expect, I was nervous and scared. Mr.Critzos graciously accepted to take my case. Critzos explained every step of the process along the way. I was never in the dark about the details of my case. I appreciated the honesty an...d the fact that details were never "sugar coated" in order to make me feel better. Mr. Critzos and his staff worked continuously on my case to assure nothing fell through the cracks. I will call Critzos immediately if i am ever in another accident. I will recommend John Critzos to anyone that is involved in an accident!

Dedicated

I was truly satisfied and happy with John Critzos work on my case, he is an excellent lawyer and he is very direct. His team was very supportive and they kept me informed about the progress of my case. I will definitely choose The Law Office of John Critzos again.

So glad to have been represented by Mr. Critzos!

Honestly, hiring Mr. Critzos was the best decision I ever made. I had never been in an accident before this case so I was completely clueless and scared. He walked me through every process and made sure I completely understood everything he was explaining. I was constantly updated on my case so I was... never in the dark. Also, he made sure that I got all the treatment that I needed so that I could get better. Mr. Critzos was able to handle the insurance companies so that I wouldn't have to and I would not get low balled. He got me way more than we had discussed in the settlement. He did everything possible so that the outcome of my case was positive! You can tell he really cares about his clients. I have already recommended him to multiple family members and friends. I definitely will be using his services again if I'm in an accident!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2005.

Informal Admonition issued in DC, 2005

updated on 04/14/2016

An admonition means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar gives the lawyer an admonition in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

John’s comment:

“Unfortunately I referred a case to another lawyer who committed malpractice. The clients were VERY nice people and since the other lawyer, who committed the malpractice, had no insurance, I directed my insurance carrier to pay them. They were satisfied and remain clients to this day. My office was honest throughout the process. However, the other lawyer lied and was disbarred.”

Informal Admonition issued in DC, 2001
