Dear Mr John Arechigo,
Hope you are doing well.
We are writing this note to express our deep gratitude. Perhaps thanks in millions will fall short to appreciate your efforts in releasing our daughter from the legal procedures & also from lots of anxieties. We placed our extreme trust once we saw your bold & confident appearance in last online hearing. Your wisdom & efficiency has disposed off the case in a manner which was beyond our expectation and it was done before the trial. You don’t know what it meant to us!
We felt sense of obligation to convey

Joe Harper is professional, extremely knowledgeable and empathetic. He always answered any questions I had in a timely matter and I felt that he was truly invested in my case from start to finish. I would highly recommend him and his firm.

John, Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have been amazing and I can't thank you enough for how you helped a family member with their case, going the extra mile to help them get on the right path--something we've been praying about for years. If I ever have a need for an attorney in the future, or know someone who does, you'd be the person I'd want representing the case.

John had my confidence with my husband’s case after my first conversation with him. He answered my initial call himself and I was pleasantly surprised as a few other calls I had made went to a call service as it was toward the end of the business day. He took the time to listen and his knowledge of the system was apparent right from the beginning.
Through the process he has been available for calls/texts and he responded in a timely fashion when he was not immediately available. Again, his expertise was apparent. He knows the system, prosecutors, and judges. He never made us feel like we had

John was fantastic to work with. From day 1 he was very open and honest about my options and never tried to sway me or “up sell” his service.
John kept in constant communication with me regarding my case and always kept things transparent.
He was always companionate, understanding of my situation & never once judged me for anything. He was by my side through everything and made sure I was always fully informed on my choices.
I highly recommend John Arechigo as a criminal defense attorney!

I had a case that was 4 years old. Reached out to Arechigo & Stokka. Spoked with John. We both worked a plan executing how we can win my case. With all the knowledge and experience that he had. He knew exactly what strategy’s he need to win my case. Soon before my trial, my case was dismissed. HIGHLY recommend him and his firm.

Mr. Arechigo is efficient, reliable and always readily available. I never had a problem reaching out to him even after my case was closed. He was successful in dropping all of my charges and minimizing the last charge to the lowest possible degree. I was very happy with the outcome and satisfied with my results. He is prompt and I was thankful even months after my case, he was to my assist on any inquiry I further had. I would definitely recommend and reference Mr. Arechigo. Willing to go the extra step and take care of all your needs! I was pleased and if I ever have another legal issue, I would

As a client I felt like Attorney Arechigo did not have my best interest at heart. I would not recommend this legal service.
