More than I expected.

As we all know hiring a lawyer is usually a unpleasant experience. Something has happened and all I wanted was to feel better and to be free of any worry I might of had. Well, let me tell you. The first time I met John I automatically felt better. And from then on, he was with me every step of the wa...y. He answered my phone calls. He responded to my emails quickley. Anytime I had a question he gave me a honest answer. He really cared about me. And that is why I am writing this review. If you need someone that has your best interests John is your man. You won't be disappointed. Thank you John!!

Great lawyer

John is a great lawyer. I was facing a felony with prison time. John got me through the legal process without facing prison. I wasn't his easiest client to deal with. He always cared about my well being and did everything he could while representing me. He always keeps you updated on anything that ha...ppens or any situation that might occur. What I liked about John was his honesty. He will always tell you the truth about your legal situation and has a plan to overcome the situation the best way possible. I walked away with a minimum sentence of probation for a year and a half. I would use him again if I ever needed legal representation.

Corey

I hired John after my first lawyer turned out to be completely incompetent. He was tasked with fixing a complete mess. Through the process i always felt that he cared and actually had my best interest in mind. If it wasn't for Mr. DeMarco I would have lost a career that I love. He never stopped tryin...g, even when it looked like it was a lost cause he fought. I hope I never need criminal defense again but if I did Mr. DeMarco is the only person I would trust.

Very professional

John is a great attorney. He's very professional and knowledgeable about how things work and what should be done next. He made me feel like he really cared about my case. He fought vigorously for me and I'm glad he was there to help in my time of need.

"I had worked with John on numerous cases throughout my career as a prosecutor.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have had the opportunity to not only work with John, but also to prosecute cases which he was defending. I can state unequivocally that John approaches every single case as though it his freedom that is on the line. I know of no other attorney that researches cases and issues to the minute detail that John does. He flips over every rock and follows up on every possible lead to get his clients the results they deserve. In a time where legal research is an often forgotten attribute in an attorney, John shines in that regard. He also stays in contact with his clients, including in person meetings and follow up letters; but also is constantly in contact with opposing counsel in an effort to resolve matters. His professionalism and laid back demeanor are appreciated by everyone who he deals with."
