I believe Mr. Liguori is absolutely worth every dime I paid him and more. His office staff is caring and courteous as well as very professional. He works diligently on his cases and kept me up to date. He worked to get me the very best deal possible so I would not need to spend the time and money ...to return to Florida a second time. Then when I saw the judge he gave me a better deal because Mr. Ligouri explained my circumstances. He also follows through as your attorney till the end of your probationary period. This is for individuals who are allowed early release. I am so glad I hired him! I couldn’t have asked for any better. Thank you so much.

This guy is a must if you want the best

Mr. John Liguori is the Criminal defense Atty that I hired to defend me against some accusations that would have sent me away for along time. I hired 3 other very well known and highly recommended attys before Mr Liguori was recommended to me. After calling him and speaking to him about my case, and ...agreeing on a very reasonable fee for the charges, he was hired to represent me. It should be noted that the previous 3 attorneys, after paying them a total of 35,000 dollars threw in the towel and told me they couldn't help me. Not this guy. He fought for me, he listened to me, and he truly represented me like no other attorneys did or could. Mr Liguoris' courtroom demeanor is very strong. His questioning of witnesses is unheralded. His results are absolutely amazing. If you need an attorney, and you want one that's going to fight tooth and nail in your defense, as well as follow through with the oath that he took upon passing the bar exam, and you want an Atty that is straightforward with you, don't beat around the bush or sidestep your questions, then there is only one choice..... John Liguori.... I'm not telling you to hire him.... Just call his office in Bartow, set up a appt. with his amazing office staff, and go see him. One more thing, if you decide to hire him, don't expect a call every day, don't expect to see him every week, he isn't that type of guy.. He is the type of guy that when it's showtime he has all his i's dotted and all the t's crossed. He rolls up his sleeves and gets it done. Totally awesome Atty. Very well versed in case law, very stern in action, knows the judicial system, and how it works. He did me a miraculous job that NO other Atty could do. Earlier in this post I mentioned that Mr Liguori was recommended to me. About the persons' case that told me to "go talk to John". Well he had a DUI number 3 and several other driving charges. His results were the same as mine.....THIS MAN IS A BEAST. The best criminal defense Atty around.....hands down.

John Liguori Professional and reliable

I have absolutely only but admiration for him and his staff. My daughter needed a good lawyer, actually an excellent lawyer since she as a young adult made a huge mistake, from Felony to a DUI, thanks to John Liguori and his staff my daughter finally can look and start building a clean and responsib...le future and that for me that’s priceless. THNAK YOU!

DO NOT GET THIS LAWYER

This lawyer basically overcharged me on a termination of probation. Took way too long on my case because he had trial cases. I called repeatedly to only get his secretary that never knew anything. When he did call back he lied and said he was trying to get it handled outside of court to buy himself t...ime. He had me running around at the last minute when I finally got a court date. He did not spend any time on my case and threw something together at the last minute. He put me in front of a judge that had to do with my conviction and I was denied termination. I was able to see my son before I went in but now have not been able to see him for 3 months because of the messed up paper work that he refuses to fix. My brother owed him 500 dollars and he called promising to fix it and get my probation officer changed. I called him after the 500 was paid and he told me that it didn't have anything to do with him that it was my other lawyer's responsibility. He basically just took 2500 of my money that only should have cost at the most 1500 with no effort in getting me off probation. I do not recommend this lawyer for anything, he only cares about his money and golfing

Replied last September 22, 2017

This client was originally charged with 40 counts of Possession of Child Pornography and Felony Drug Possession. After serving a prison sentence he was released on probation. He hired me seeking early termination and that was denied. I obtained permission for him to visit with his minor child, but he has not complied with conditions set by family court. I was hired on 6-3-15 and the hearing was held 60 days later on 8-3-15. The first available date. The fee balance was created because his brother issued a worthless check from his business. Unfortunately this client was a professional whiner. I have been a trial attorney practicing criminal law for 39 years. I have maintained an AV rating with Martindale-Hubbell for 19 consecutive years. It is outrageous that you would even consider hosting his review.
