He is fine attorney and official

He is fine attorney. Ex -marine officer, he argued and win in Nevada supreme court. He also asked for reasonable legal fees. You can see his review everywhere, doesn’t have 1,2,3 or 4 stars rating but all, 5 starts. Of course, he is not perfect because he is human. His office is organized more like f...amily type then large professional law office with office manager. Chose your words carefully when you speak to his office people, that is my advice. Lawyers don’t review your case, they just cut the deal and plead out with DA, until actual Trial. So, you can’t just hire attorney and expect to do your all-legal work for you, you got to help your law office. Like write timeline, explain in written what happened, provide pictures, text another word, you have to work on your case and help him to win your case and that exactly what my wife and I did and he was able to dismissed my unfortunate family matter but serious felony case. I do thank him and his office for my case.

Effective and informative for a reasonable cost

I can’t recommend John Turco and his team highly enough. From day one, John was informative, strategic, and incredibly effective. He took the time to explain everything clearly, crafted a smart defense strategy tailored to my case, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. His professional...ism is matched by the excellence of his staff—every interaction was prompt, respectful, and supportive. If you’re looking for a defense attorney who truly knows what he’s doing and has a great team behind him, John Turco is the one to call.

Professional law firm

While finding myself in a position of needing a criminal defense attorney naturally you look for the best, the one with five star ratings with the most highest reviews and ratings. While starting my research which I feel is very necessary, I look for background education, anything, and everything per...taining to a potential lawyer to retain. When my personal list was made, and I started making calls and phone consultations and was crossing them off for the amount for their services I just couldn’t afford, as well for my particular situation, they just weren’t being upfront enough and gave me the lawyer talk that would justify for the amount they were asking not to take away, I’m sure they are good lawyers. I’ve been through the system A few times, and although all states have general guidelines, each state has and can do their own set of rules and ways of loopholes and cutting red tape, what I found with Mr. John Turco actually impressed me. Mr. Turco knows the State of Nevada courts and how it’s a plea bargain state. With that being said throughout my phone consultation, and how he spoke to me, not only with the courtesy of the professionalism of his craft he spoke to me direct, honest, a lawyer without the lawyer talk. His education and background and knowledge of the state and the system is impeccable and important for any criminal defense attorney. I felt I made the right decision and retaining him without disclosing amount of fees I save thousands of what other lawyers were asking . I say that with the upmost respect and truthfulness in writing this review/rating. He does not overcharge and what I paid was well worth and justified. In fact after hearing my case and going through my file, he even gave a discount. I recommend and give five stars all the way, in regards to his team and staff, everyone in his office was professional, friendly, and responsive, messages were always put through to Mr. Turco, Always received callbacks not one time did I call and just stuck, listening to a recording. His team and staff outstanding thank you very much. In fact, Mr. Turco, you should give them all a raise! In regards to my case, Mr. Turco had this case dismissed.

Helping my son

I went into Mr. Turco's office not knowing if he could help my 14-year-old son and his complex case. He took the time for all my questions and his knowledge and experience made my mother and I feel at ease and gave us hope. My son now will have a chance to start a new because of the help of Mr. Turco.... I am forever grateful, and his staff was so kind to us. I have much respect for this office and Mr. Turco. I would recommend him to anyone in times of need.

Extremely Competent

I switched attorney 3 weeks before my first court date to John Turco. He gladly took my case with short notice. Turco was detailed in what the potential outcomes of my situation were. I had a very complicated DUI case. Within a week of hiring John Turco I received my driving privileges back when my o...ther attorney couldn't help me at all. I was able to have all charges dropped and have my life back thanks to John Turco. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great lawyer.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I would highly recommend John Turco to anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney. I have practiced in the Las Vegas community for close to 20 years, and during that time I've had numerous opportunities to witness John in a courtroom. The greatest compliment I can give John is that he is on a short list of attorneys that I would recommend to family and friends. He is very experienced and knowledgeable, and I have felt confident asking for his advise over the years. While in court, John is articulate and always prepared to argue the issue at hand. He argues aggressively for his clients, but keeps it professional and is alway respectful to the judge, opposing counsel, and court staff. Most importantly, John goes out of his way to make people feel comfortable, including his clients, which is absolutely necessary given the stressful nature of criminal defense."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"John is a lawyer that never quits. I have personally worked on cases with John and have witnessed him in the courts defending clients with intensity and intelligence. He has an excellent reputation as a lawyer who takes every case like it is his last. He has a great relationship with prosecutors and judges which allows him to obtain some of the most beneficial plea negotiations. On cases that are not dealt, he takes his fight to the prosecution challenging every piece of evidence. I endorse John, not because he is a colleague, but because he is the real deal."
