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!

NOT Guilty

We hired Mr. Tosto as our criminal defense attorney in an automobile accident case against our loved one. He was accessible, hardworking, highly responsive, and devoted to our case. We met with him often, he heard our concerns and input, and never made us feel like less than a top priority. His dilig...ence ultimately led to the NOT GUILTY verdict that was deserved. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Happy Client

First off I can not express enough how much I truly appreciate and recommend Attorney John Tosto. John is able to quickly assess his clients needs and goes out of his way to meet them. I was impressed right from the start when he extended his cell number should I need to contact him outside busi...ness hours. He was always supportive from meeting with us multiple times on Saturday’s or a quick text message on the latest update. He is always responsive to any questions or concerns about the legal proceedings. John is a very professional, honest and experienced attorney, who is a straight forward and keeps you informed of next steps and what to expect. I’ve utilized his services for multiple types of cases over the years and he has always handled each with diligence and professionalism with favorable legal outcomes. I will continue to recommend him to family and friends. If your looking for an experienced attorney with high ethics and integrity John Tosto is the attorney for you.

Hardworking and trustworthy

I have used Mr. Tosto for two different types of cases, one being business related and the other being traffic related. Both times I felt that Mr. Tosto kept me informed about what was going on, handled things timely, and got results that were fair and above my expectations. I have recommended him t...o friends and family members for different types of cases and they have all been extremely satisfied. I trust Mr. Tosto and will use him for future issues and continue to recommend him to others.

Willing to go the extra mile

I hired John to defend my child in a hazing incident that turned into a messy criminal sexual conduct case. John was very thorough in his investigation and letigation and was willing to defend us to the very end if necessary. There were several individuals involved in this case and from his experie...nce in the juvenile court system we were able to have the case dismissed without any hassels with community service, probation or court records. He really cares about his clients and is excellent in the way he relates to teenage clients. If you need a laywer for anything related to teenagers I would highly recommend him. He is very easy to work with and listens to and values his clients inputs while at the same time balancing the discussions with sound legal advice.
