My Lawyer!

Working with John was a game changer in my driving while intoxicated case.  After I was pulled over, I had googled everything I could find about Michigan driving law before reaching out to a handful of local lawyers.  While I learned more about the infraction, the lawyers I talked to did nothing to g...ive me any confidence in me being able to drive for a long time.  When I talked with John, he actually asked me about me, he listened to my story and he really talked to me about my situation.  I walked into his office terrified and left feeling relieved I found the right attorney.  When I was leaving our first meeting he told me to not even think about the case, he would handle it and that's what I did.  When our date came for court John had already worked out the best possible outcome to allow me to keep my drivers license and get back to work.  His experience in case law and ability to proactively work a solution, made all the difference in the outcome of my case.   He's my Lawyer!

Case resolution

DUI case was resolved by John and reduced to lesser charges .John was very persistent and reassuring in helping to reduce my stress and anxiety in dealing with a case that took over a year to resolve.

Up front hardworking attorney

I was looking at prison time for a 3rd felony DUI. My case was in northern Michigan 200 miles from my home. John was able to get me into a Drug Court program in my home town. This took a lot of persistent effort on my his part. His advice was straight forward honest and sincere. I recommend John wh...en ever anyone ask my advise on a defense attorney.

Strategic, consummate professional

I cannot make a strong enough recommendation for John Tosto. I am a professional who made a careless mistake and found myself in an awful situation. He handled the case with professionalism and went above and beyond to make sure that my case ended with the best possible outcome. I have referred sever...al people to him and they have also been very pleased with his work. Being charged with a crime, a dui, or needing a family law attorney is a stressful experience. Having someone to handle the situation with professionalism and expertise makes it manageable. Without hesitation, I would recommend anyone I know to him for help.
