John LoTurco represented my son with nothing but brilliance, expert articulation, precise attention to detail, and a superior effectual confidence that commended the room when he entered. Today, in his representation of my son the presiding judge referred to him as a "powerhouse lawyer" in the Courtroom today. We had a self-defense claim, and after John reviewed the videos, he immediately told us that we would be successful at trial.
But after we presented our argument to the District Attorney's Office of self-defense by slowing down the video and providing them with still photographs to demonstrate that the event transpired was an act in self-defense, they decided to dismiss the matter prior to trial. John provided us zealous and aggressive representation, and I would highly recommend anyone without any reservations to his law firm. It was clearly obvious that John is a highly respected lawyer by the judges, prosecutors, and other attorneys as well. Last but definitely not least, paralegal Gina Zamora was outstanding, helpful, super courteous, and a necessary and vital component on our behalf. We value their dedication, tenacity, hard work and are so appreciative of the outcome and their representation.

We are deeply grateful for the generous time and care that Mr. Kearon gave during a consultation with a young adult family member. With dignity, experience, and genuine compassion, he offered clear, honest guidance, even advising that a lawyer was not needed. His professionalism and integrity were truly reassuring. Highly recommended.- Former Client

When I searched for the top attorney in the field that I needed in the US, Mr. Epstein came up. Now I can say from my own experience that I would highly recommend Mr. Epstein and his team. I had two serious issues that needed to be resolved. Got an excellent outcome on both.- Andy D.
