I recently found myself facing a DUI charge and was feeling completely lost. John Loturco was recommended to me, and I'm so grateful for that referral. From our very first meeting, he put me at ease. He explained everything clearly, advised me on the best course of action, and was always willing tomake time to answer my questions and address my concerns. John worked on my case thoroughly and negotiated fair terms for my trial. He made sure I understood every step of the process and what to expect. I highly recommend John Loturco to anyone needing legal representation. He's a skilled attorney who truly cares about his clients

I hired Mr. Loturco when I was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor assault earlier this year. I had gotten into a fight at a hockey game with a man and he had decided to press chargers. He sustained injuries and I was facing 3 years probation along with payment of medical bills. Mr. Loturco assured me he would do everything he could to pursue the best possible outcome. After multiple court dates and a long trial, he got me the best possible outcome. I was found not guilty.
Mr. LoTurco’s incredible hard work and dedication to his craft made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. He updated me frequently on the status of my case and always kept me in the loop. He is extremely compassionate and genuinely cares about his clients.
I am extremely happy with everything that Mr. LoTurco did for me and am so glad I chose him as my lawyer to get me through this difficult time. I would highly recommend Mr. LoTurco to anyone facing similar circumstances.

I found myself in the most difficult situation of my life, and John came to my rescue. He was direct, honest, supportive, and incredibly competent. He shared with me exactly how the process would go, and he was correct at every step. He was a calming influence despite the difficult situation I hadput myself in.
John got the best possible outcome for me from a legal perspective, and he did so with incredible empathy and compassion.
I will never forgot the first time I met John. He told me that as dark as things looked, it might be the best possible thing to happen to me for my life going forward. He was correct.

I had the pleasure of working with Andrew Meaney on a legal matter involving my share of my mother's house, which I shared with my brothers. What could have been an extremely stressful and overwhelming process was made so much easier thanks to Andrew's expertise. He was incredibly kind, cooperative, and responsive, and handled everything seamlessly and efficiently. Andrew’s ability to navigate the complexities of the situation with such ease gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and professional lawyer.

Andrew is the best. I had never sold a home before so was not sure how it all works. From the first conversation I had with Andrew to the closing he was patient and walked me through all the steps. He was always accessible by phone, text or email. I highly recommend Andrew Meaney.

Mr. Houslanger and his office have been the best experience we have had with court examiners for our daughter. He is kind and thoughtful, extremely knowledgable and very efficient and quick to respond to any questions or concerns we may have. I highly recommend him.

In all truth, I bumped into dialogue with Counselor Houslanger completely by accident, under the erroneous impression that his firm was the latest to inherit an old judgment, presumed to be still in effect and in force, naming my mother as the Defendant, while in truth and in fact he was NOT the Counsel of Record. Nevertheless, he gave me an audience, he asked me for the Index #, he had the means and the desire to take some initiative in researching some basics about this old story, and as fate would have it, my mother's old judgment had been ordered to be vacated some five years earlier in a certain class-action matter. Counselor Houslanger then went out of his way to offer some basic instruction for the proper Pro Se steps to remedy the judgment in the Court of the first instance, which I imagine would have worked nicely if the Court staff at my mother's venue understood the procedure as well as he himself does. Bureaucrats seldom see beyond the scope of their own responsibilities, however. This attorney possesses a keen insight to the needs and concerns of ALL with whom he speaks, whether he's getting paid to listen and respond or not. And as long as he doesn't have any equity or interest in the other side of the case or docket, I'll call Todd Eric Houslanger before I call anyone, whether the matter to be addressed is a traffic summons, a criminal arrest, a debtor judgment, a divorce proceeding, a CBP Global Entry Reconsideration Hearing, a charge under the Espionage Act of 1917, or even a FISA Court matter. Regardless whether he'd be equipped and/or inclined to represent and/or to assist in the representation, this is clearly a man whose interactions are ALWAYS a matter of consequence. My only regret is that I encountered this man some seven years after my brother was crushed to death by a subway train. If there weren't so many liens pending in the current cause of action already, I'd fire all current counsel yesterday, and hire Todd Eric Houslanger today, without even checking his record of decisions in such matters. He knows the law; he knows procedure; and most importantly: he knows to treat EVERYONE well, and to speak to EVERYONE with respect, DESPITE the fact the ones with whom he speaks DO NOT have a title or even a degree. THIS one's an ATTORNEY people. NOT a fast-talking, used-car salesman with a license to practice law. NOT some JD who passed the Bar, and believes his license GIVES him license to be ill-mannered. I'm fully mindful that his fortes are in prosecuting debt collection, and in defending traffic-related and criminal matters. But once every great while, a man comes along who is so brilliant, so personable, and so well-mannered, that one truly cannot tell what is beyond the abilities of Todd Eric Houslanger's legal acumen, unless and until one discusses the matter WITH him, and dares to ask if he can help. Some 40 years ago I dared to debate William Rehnquist when I was a high school senior. Anyone familiar with that name should understand what I mean when I say that Counselor Houslanger is a genuine attorney, and a brilliant, well-mannered, and thoughtful gentleman.

Matt Touhy is in a league of his own. On the surface it seems like he is too good to be true and I typically dont write reviews but Matt has shown up to the plate time and time again. Matt will put you at ease with his experience. He actually cares about his clients and is willing to put in the work and proves himself to be a class act. If lawyers had a hall of fame, Matt has my vote every time. Give him a shot at your business. Its well worth it.

Michael worked as a criminal defense attorney for me for the past 5 and a half months. He picked up my case in early August of last year, and I honestly have never felt so comfortable hiring someone. From the initial consultation, it was clear that he understood exactly what took place with my arrest and he knew the exact steps we needed to take in order to resolve the situation. We ended up achieving and ACOD/Dismissal of the criminal charge. Throughout the process, I witnessed him interact and adjust his communication style depending on the personalities he was dealing with, and he was very effective in winning people over and helping them understand our position on the actual events that took place. This man is smart, charismatic, practical in his application of the law, and wholly committed to helping his clients achieve the desired outcome in their case. Thank you, Michael Jannuzzi, for a stellar job done!

I'm not the best writer but let me give a try to describe the experience with Mr. Michael Jannuzzi as this website asks.
When I needed someone to defend me Michael took it upon himself to travel and personally vouch for me with the judge...who claimed to "know me" better than Michael did despite our years acquainted. I mean, the judge was clearly angry with me and Michael said "But your honor...I know this guy he is ok!" something like that...
How did we get to that point?
I think the first time we worked with Michael Januzzi was for our house closing several years prior where he clearly showed the sellers and bank representatives that we were well represented.
Next was for things that perhaps I am not proud to admit but Michael Jannuzzi will indeed defend you to the best of his ability, not only to the point that you "paid for" or try to make an easy deal with the district attorney or judge. He is NOT the type (and I'm sure we have all met the type) to say "send the money then we will talk" I believe that Michael looks for the good in people and feels that anyone can change, even if they are in some trouble in life. This is one of the things that helped me get out of the rut I was in and turn my life around.
I cannot tell you how good it feels...the relief you get when sitting in a jail cell, powerless to defend yourself then Michael shows up to let you know with straight talk what is going on, what the judge thinks and that he is there not only fighting but advocating for you.
I went from having a decent life and home to being down and out. Without Michael and others I may never have made it back to a normal life.
I got into serious trouble for not showing up to court nearly 2 years and was hauled in on a bench warrant. The charges were serious too. I already owed Michael so I did not call him or mention him. When I met the judge I was alone. I told the judge I needed public defender. She saw my record and that Michael Jannuzzi was my lawyer previously and asked why ("Michael" she called him) was not there to represent me. I told her that I did not want to bother him...She said well, "you are going to need him and I want to find out what your deal is so I will call Michael him in here myself." Sure enough the cavalry arrived and I nearly cried when I saw Mike.
All the while Michael never asked me for a dime or even made me feel uncomfortable about not being able to pay him while spending hours or complete days of his time on my problems. Always took my calls, always did his absolute best despite the fact that I even deserved to be punished.
Mike explained to me that the judge was determined to let me spend some time behind bars and that I should just accept that but he will make sure he does everything on his part to follow me along and didn't leave me feeling like I was alone. I think he had to go to court at least 3 times for this and Michael showed up and worked for my best interests each time.
I have tried a few other lawyers because I live outside NY now and had terrible experiences. If you read that someone was ripped off by a lawyer then it is likely true.
You will have a hard time finding a lawyer or a man who who you can trust like Michael Jannuzzi.
It is without hesitation that I recommend Michael as one of the best lawyers available to represent in whatever legal entity you require. If he says he can do it...let him do it.

Dennis O’Brien handled a complicated legal matter for my daughter and we both couldn’t be happier with his diligence, his total competence, his zeal, his compassion and his determination to do the right thing for his client. He kept us well informed at every stage of the representation and took all the time that was necessary for us to understand the steps he was taking, the options we had, and the predictable outcome of each option. While no case is perfect, he was perfect for our case and we will be forever grateful for his effort and the results he achieved.

As someone who has never been in trouble with the law, I was extremely frightened after having been arrested and had no idea where to turn or what I was in store for. Andrew Karpf put me at ease right away. He was very clear to me about what I should expect and about how he could help my situation. He was always quick to respond to my calls and texts. I never felt alone through the entire process. In the end, everything turned out as he had originally explained to me. I would highly recommend this law firm to all of my family and friends should they ever need legal assistance.

I've known John for many years! I think of him more then just my lawyer. I consider him to be a valued friend! He's always been up front an honest! I've recommend him to a number of people and also got him few case's along the years! I truly believe he's always had my best interest at heart. If I ever needed another lawyer he's the first person I would call! He is a great family man and is one of the smartest people I know! I remember when he called me way back when he was at the hospital and his wife was there getting ready to have their son and he called me back to just speak about the case I had going against the hospital that made my mom Brain dead! He also fought hard to get my mom taken off the machine that kept her breathing because the nursing home didn't want the money to stop coming in. This man picked me up in a blizzard to go to the nursing home and he made calls to the insurance company to make sure what the staff was saying was true and it turned out that they were lying and it took us hours to get home and almost got stuck a few times!! Good times!! He deserves a reward he really does! As soon as I see that I could write a review I said most definitely. There are times that I didn't even have court on the day that he would go to the courthouse to try and help me or get me out of jail!! There isn't anyone else that I would rather have on my side for any case that he could defend me on! None of this is false information! So if anyone has a case big or small he's your guy! He will defend you till then end and he will be 1000 percent honest with you and help you the best he can! He has a big heart and he has a big family so he might not always be able to answer the phone on time or might be running a few minutes late with because of his dad duties. But I promise he will not leave you hanging!! I give him more then 5 Stars I give him 1000 Stars!! Love you John! Your like the uncle I always wanted!! Lol!

I hired Larry Flowers to represent me on a speeding ticket. I paid him in full, prior to my Court date. He said I did not have to appear because he would appear on my behalf. He ends up going to Court a day late and then calls me to tell me that they won't do any type of plea deal. TOTAL B.S. They wouldn't do anything because you forgot to show up! My license was suspended for 60 days FOR FAILURE TO APPEAR!!! Refused a refund as well. Find ANYONE ELSE to represent you. He's an incompetent clown. Run, don't walk!

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
