Tosto and staff come highly recommended from our family!

My family and I are incredibly grateful for the outstanding legal support we received. From the very beginning, Attorney Tosto and his staff treated our family with compassion, respect, and professionalism during what was an extremely stressful time. They took the time to clearly explain every ste...p of the process, answered all of our questions patiently, and made sure we felt informed and supported throughout. Their knowledge, attention to detail, and strong advocacy ultimately led to our case being dismissed, which was a huge relief for our entire family. What stood out most was their genuine care and dedication—not just to the case, but to us as people. We always felt like we were in capable and trustworthy hands. We highly recommend Attorney Tosto to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate attorney. We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome or a better person to represent us.

So happy.

John Tosto represented me in a homicide case. Not only did he get my homicide charge dismissed, he was able to get thousands of dollars that was seized from my home by the Government returned to me. I would highly recommend Mr. Tosto. He was compassionate, courteous, and very aggressive in his repr...esentation.

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!

Excellent Attorney, I Highly Recommend

My family was involved in a bad car accident. It was an extremely stressful time and we had no idea what to do. Luckily we were referred to John Tosto. John did an amazing job walking us through the legal process. He always answered questions, was quick to return calls and I never doubted that ...he cared and had our best interests at heart.
