Gets the job done
We hired Mr. Fotopoulos to represent a family member who was under investigation by local police. After contacting the office on a weekend, we were quickly able to chat with a member of his staff to explain our situation. John got in touch with us by the next morning and helped us through a very difficult situation. He was very forthcoming and told us exactly what to expect. I hope I never need another criminal defense attorney, but if I ever do, I would trust Mr. Fotopoulos to represent me.

He's good and good at what he does
I never in my life would think I had to go to court for something I was involved in. My family had John before and recommend that I see him. Boy was that great choice I made. John took care of everything for me. He treated if was like if was my big brother. He 100% made sure that everything was looked on and was my line of defense when came to court day. Thanks John for helping me out. You are the best!!

Extremely pleased.
I couldn't of hoped for a better outcome then what John provided. He was compassionate and understanding of my situation. If I was a prosecutor I wouldn't want him in my court room. Watching how well he defended me subdued my anxieties. I picked the right guy. John exceeded my expectations. I would use John again.

A great lawyer
John has been my lawyer for more than 3 years I don't know what I would do without him. He is great at what he does and he gets the job done! He takes his cases very seriously and cares for his clients. I would never trust anyone else to help me with my family case.
