Great Lawyer
John helped us with a misdemeanor charge, he actually was able to get the case dismissed and we paid a retainer fee. He answered calls was warm and helpful throughout the process. We would recommend John to anyone in the area.

Would highly recommend Mr. Lutgens and his team!
My wife and I discussed some concerns with Mr. Lutgens and his team, not realizing that all of the telephone discussions and after hour consultation were "free." He and his team were courteous and professional and we would highly recommend Mr. Lutgens based on our own experience.
John Joseph Lutgens's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known John Lutgens for over 15 years. For the past 10 years I was a Deputy/Senior Deputy Prosecutor in the Major Crimes Unit or in the Children's Justice Unit. John and I have had a number of difficult and sensitive matters in which John was opposing counsel. John is a very sound and capable attorney, especially in the area of juvenile criminal matters. He has always been a zealous advocate for his clients. In my opinion he is one of the best attorneys in his practice area in the region. I have a great deal of respect for his abilities and if one of my children were ever in trouble I want him to represent them."
